"Holiday Grits on 3rd St. w/ Gritz & Jelly Butter, Ken J Martin & The DollDaze"

Come join us for the 3rd Annual Holiday Gritz on 3rd Street event featuring Atlanta's most in-demand Live Band, Gritz & Jelly Butter!

Rumor has the new Gritz & Jelly Butter CD will also be on sale hot off the presses! Don't miss this now classic Atlanta event!

Just one listen to the new and explosive Atlanta-based band, Gritz & Jelly Butter and you too will become a believer in 'the Revolution'. The musical revolution, that is. The 4 piece collective of musicians and vocalists was formed by what they refer to as the 'natural mystic' and is committed to sending a message of personal freedom through their unique style of music and creative expression.

Best consumed live, a standard serving of Gritz & Jelly Butter includes an eclectic mix of Soul, R&B, Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, and Rock vibes that more often than not... are simply cataclysmic. At one moment, a sultry, well-formed ballad, delivered with gentle precision by the soulful crooner J. Winston. Moments later your mood is suddenly and abruptly interrupted by a raw and captivating jam session joint, unashamed of its nakedness. Be assured that the rhythmic combination of Winston , David 'Sho-Tyme' Holmes on Drums, and Wayne 'Mister' James on Bass will down right pimp slap you into a new awakedeness. And just as you begin to think you've figured them out, the rhythm drops into an unfamiliar 7 count and you are introduced to yet another vocal weapon of mass disruption, in the form of original artist Chocolate Thaii. Cover songs old and new gain new identities... while the band's impressive list of originals paves the way for a new brand of soul/funk music.
