The uproarious performance topped 500,000 views almost immediately as it was covered in and the Huffington Post. On April Fool Day, 2013, GGB put out a video that appeared as if they had performed “Could Be Me” in three trucks that travelled in front of the Google video street car. Both the lyric and official video were incredibly well received on YouTube. It proved to be a hit, selling over 35,000 downloads in the US and Canada.
SiriusXM’s The Highway started playing “Standard American” in June of 2014, along with some local radio stations. Their release of what has become their most popular anthem, “Standard American,” on Average Joes Mud Digger 5, brought national awareness for the band, which had opened shows for the label’s Colt Ford, as well as Florida Georgia Line, Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert and many others. They are the kind of rough around the edges that makes their party songs contagious and hilarious, and makes their ballads sucker punch your core. There is no mistaking where they are from or what they’re about they represent the part of the road that isn’t paved or easily traveled. Flaunting everything from Johnny Cash influences to their childhood punk rock roots, GGB are bold, brass and unapologetic, but they are all heart and soul. GGB debuted in 2009, opening for Justin Moore to a sold out crowd at The Intersection in Grand Rapids. The five troubadours were destined for bromance. Gunnar and Rob had been in bands together since they were 12 years old. Lead singer/songwriter, Gunnar Nybland, first introduced his childhood friend and bass player, Rob Mason, to his Michigan State University buddies, lead guitarist Shane Grehan guitarist/keyboardist Chris Newberg and drummer Joe Connolly (Rochester Hills, MI), while working on his agricultural degree. These boys, all hailing from Michigan, are as much brothers as they are bandmates.
#Grizzly music pub free#
The ruckus five man troupe of young country rock song slingers will be lighting up the Big Rock Pub stage with a free show, first come first serve, starting at 7 pm. The new Big Rock Pub is kicking off the month of music festivals (and testing the limits of their new house sound system), with a pop-up concert, giving GGB a place to play while in route to Country Thunder (Florence, Arizona’s version of Stagecoach). Hide your mamas and your girlfriends – Gunnar and the Grizzly Boys (GGB) are coming to town.
