Musketeer Gripweed, the legendary Colorado-based, blues-fusion band Musketeer Gripweed simply explodes onstage with the energy and fervor of a revival preacher out to save a filthy sinner's soul. This group of highly accomplished musicians, however, isn't about pushing religion -- they're about creating American blues, rock and revival music with a message. With a passion influenced by modern and classic rock 'n' soul heroes, Musketeer Gripweed creates an extraordinarily powerful live energy, and the band's gasoline intense vibe manifests in spontaneous, uncontrollable dancing and a compulsion to stand up, run to the stage and testify.

Musketeer Gripweed has been a blues/rock fusion fixture in Colorado and beyond for 20 years. With their music in the top 10 of Colorado artists on state radio stations, Gripweed continues to perform and tour regularly.

Gripweed is comprised of Jason Downing (Lead Vocals, Harmonica), Ben Hockett (Bass, Vocals), Matt Goldberg (Keys, Organ), Stu Crair (Drums) and Lance Ruby (Guitar).
