Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse

A California-based roots rock act created and led by Greta Valenti and Robin Davey, blending blues rock, Americana, country and soul, performing at The Old Woollen in Leeds.

Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse is a California-based roots rock band that blends blues rock, Americana, country and soul. It was created and is led by Greta Valenti, a Louisiana-born-and-raised musician associated with Well Hung Heart, and by Robin Davey, a UK British Blues Hall of Fame inductee whose earlier projects include The Hoax, DVL and Well Hung Heart.

Because the band tours across the Atlantic, The Apocalypse brings together musicians from several parts of the world, and the project also features various collaborations and guest appearances. Its sound pairs soulful songs with intense rock energy, drawing on New Orleans influences for a blend of blues, folk and soul.

The Old Woollen hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this evening offers a chance to hear the band's roots-based material performed live.
