Chris Avey And Jeni Grouws Premiering Songs From “Tell Tale Heart’ Tonight At Bettendorf’s CBW
Chris Avey and Jeni Grouws return to play Crawford Brew Works in Bettendorf tonight, showcasing tunes from their upcoming album, “Tell Tale Heart”!
The Avey Grouws Band “Tell Tale Heart” is available for pre-order, and will be released on Sept. 24.
The duo will perform at the brewery and bar, at 3659 Devils Glen Road, after having just performed on July 21 for an “Over the Edge” event, raising about $1,600 that night alone.
Featuring 10 original songs, Tell Tale Heart‘s music (described by producer Wasner as “rock and roll blues soul”) demonstrates the label-defying band’s command of a wide swath of American roots music — including blues, classic rock, country, R&B, funk, introspective balladry and unbridled rock and roll, according to a band release.
Wasner — whose previous credits include a Grammy win for engineering the Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal album, TajMo, and playing drums with Keb’ Mo’ and rhythm guitar for Robben Ford — stated: “After spending two weeks straight in the studio with the Avey Grouws Band, I learned a couple things. The first week I learned that this band kicks ass. In the second week, I didn’t want our session to end. The hang and the music are infectious.”
You can pre-order the Avey Grouws Band’s new album, “Tell Tale Heart” (out Sept. 24), at https://aveygrouwsband.bandcamp.com/album/tell-tale-heart.
In addition, tonight, Nerdspeak’s brewing maestro Aaron Ickes will have two of his beers on tap at CBW – the Hefeweizen and oatmeal stout.
Jeni Grouws, Chris Avey and Bryan West performed at the July 21 guest bartending “Over the Edge” event at Crawford Brew Works.
Nerdspeak hopes to have their taproom open by the end of the month, Ickes said. For more information, visit https://nerdspeakbrewery.com/home.
