July 22, 2026Took Our Event To The Next Level
Grits & Juice absolutely killed it for our Member Guest Golf Tournament Party. Could not have been more professional. They made our member and their guest feel like they were in a stadium concert. Would recommend them for any function or party.

January 8, 2026Highly Recommend
Grits & Juice brought the perfect vibe to our Fall Festival in September 2025. Great sound, great energy, and an easygoing presence that made the whole event feel even more fun and welcoming. They were professional, engaging, and a pleasure to work with—and the crowd loved them. We got so many compliments on the music! Would absolutely have them back and highly recommend for any event looking for a laid-back, feel-good atmosphere.

July 1, 2025Five Stars for Grits & Juice at Fridays After Five!
What. A. Show! Grits & Juice brought the energy, the talent, and great tunes to downtown Athens for Fridays After Five, and they absolutely delivered! It was the kind of performance that reminds you just how special live music can be in a small-town setting. Did I say small? Well, we had 3,000 people there and everyone loved their music. The band was super professional and a pleasure to work with.

What to expect
There is no such thing as a "typical" Grits & Juice set list, but you can expect it to include a wide range of classic rock and country with a little pop flavor mixed in to chase it all down. If you like pure, unapologetic music - then you've come to the right place. Strong and soulful vocals, sensational guitar solos, heart thumping bass (of the upright variety), and gut punching beats.
Not interested in a full blooded rock band? Maybe you just need some acoustic entertainment but that can be more than just background music? Not a problem. We can sub out the electric guitar for another acoustic and bring out some smooth percussion in place of the full drums to provide a tasteful, acoustic spin on all your classic rock and country favorites.
We use professional grade sound equipment to ensure top quality - not too loud, not too quiet, and mixed just right.
About
Grits & Juice is a 4 piece band that thrives in a genre we affectionately refer to as Dad Rock - which can be summarized as any sort of rock and country music that a dad or his dad enjoys listening to. Grits & Juice loves spicing up classic songs with our own jams and unique spins, but we always keep it true to the originals.
Grits & Juice has decades of combined musical experience and has been together as a band since February 2022. With that much experience, we pride ourselves in never playing the same gig twice!
Additional booking notes
We're not picky. You provide the power, we'll provide the tunes. We can setup on a stage, a flatbed trailer, a concrete pad, your back yard, or your living room if you want to get real intimate. Grits & Juice has graced the massive stage at the Orion Amphitheater and also tiny corner stages at local BBQ restaurants and breweries. We'll play anywhere you can squeeze us.

Influences and inspiration
Cant nail it down to just one or a set of influences. Each band member has varying backgrounds and tastes in music, so when you blend us together, you get something unique and a little funky at times.
In general, our genre influences can summarized as rock n roll from all eras - from the 50s to present day. Plus country (70s, 80s, and 90s primarily), soulful R&B, jazz, and even a little pop.
Setup requirements
We need power. We have everything else.
