Chattanooga Has Fun 2.5

Grayson Capps performs Saturday, July 24th, at Barking Legs Theater. The show kick off at 8pm. Tickets: $12 at the door.

Some people call him a preacher, others a poet, a singer, a guitar player, a redneck, but he declares: “I am only an actor strutting and fretting across the stage. I still have to use a shovel. I still have to dig in the dirt. But, I’ll tell you what, I have two beautiful children, a piece of land in Franklin, TN and more music on the way. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but songs are sung by those who continue to sing.”

AMERICAN SONGWRITER Says : “Take the poetry of Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt, combine with Steve Earle’s edgy attitude and stir with a little cup of the bayou-blues (think Howlin’ Wolf) and you start to get a taste of Capps’s scrumptious gothic gumbo.”

BLURT Says : “Although his distinctive sound is rootsy at its core, a Dixie-fried amalgam of twangrock,Memphis soul, and roadhouse blues, Capps’ Tennessee-Williams-meets-Charles-Bukowski lyrical style is equal parts Southern Gothic and Los Angeles noir. His songs are literate, imaginative, and sometimes magical, his storytelling skills matched by an uncanny sense of musical history that will grow on you like kudzu vine.”
