About Us
GRITS & GREENS IS A PSYCHEDELIC Y’ALLTERNATIVE BAND FROM HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI WRITING SONGS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, SOCIAL INJUSTICE, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS THAT FANS OF PARAMORE, PINK FLOYD, FLEETWOOD MAC, AND THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WILL ENJOY.
What do you get when you blend: the southern grit of The Allman Brothers, the progressive rock of Rush, the punk rock energy of Paramore, the soulful vocals of Lake Street Dive, the intricate soundscapes of Pink Floyd - then add a dash of the funk of Little Feat; season with the emotionality of Kings of Leon; and finally garnish with the soaring harmonies of Fleetwood Mac? A cosmic gumbo from Hattiesburg, Mississippi called Grits & Greens.
Boasting an infectious energy, Grits & Greens sends the listener on a musical odyssey at every show—honoring their many influences in a way that feels uniquely authentic. The band combines tight grooves, catchy melodies, and charming stage presence with a keen ability to narrate the human experience: telling stories of life’s struggles, the joys and pains of growing up, and the realities of social injustice.
In 2024, the band released their debut, self-titled album selling over 500 vinyl copies in a matter of weeks. In 2026, the band visited the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL and recorded their best work yet. The first release from that session, “Answers,” narrates the ever-relatable tale of wading through anxiety and finding peace even without clarity on one’s situation. The second release, “Play it Cool,” chronicles social anxiety.
