Album: Live at Greune Records
Label: Bootstrap Records
Release date: 9/18/2020
The husband and wife team of Josh and Kristi Grider recorded a live album together back last December in front of a studio audience at Gruene Records in New Braunfels, TX and now are releasing a collaborative EP together titled, appropriately, Live at Gruene Records.
Says, Josh, "Last December, back when we thought 2019 was the most trying year in recent memory and we all couldn't wait for 2020 to arrive, Kristi and I had the cool opportunity to play a Living Room Sessions concert at Gruene Records here in New Braunfels. That evening we decided to also press record and see what happened. She and I were joined by her producer, and our good friend, Nolan Burke on guitar, Sean Rodriguez on bass, and Chris Compton Drums on the tubs. We basically set up in the main tracking room and did a recording session in front of a small gathering of fans and friends. Kristi and I are very excited for this to be in the world. To say it's been a long time coming is a bit of an understatement. We can't wait for you to hear it."
Josh and Kristi Grider have been making a life, musically and otherwise, for nearly twenty years together. Each has followed their own professional path and occasionally those paths have crossed, but question comes up again and again, "when will you guys do something together?" On December 6th at Gruene Records in New Braunfels, TX Josh and Kristi finally did just that. Kristi has been featured on a number of Josh's solo recordings as duet partner and background vocalist, and hrough the years there have been a number of shows on which they've performed together—but never an official project. Kristi released her first EP earlier in 2019 landing her in the top twenty on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts and establishing herself as far more than a great singer, but a great writer as well. Charisma, honesty, and talent is one thing...but the bond and the stories that twenty years as a couple brings to their performance is what truly sets them apart.
