The Nashville based rock and soul band Electric Experiment chose Crossville’s own beautiful, historic Palace Theatre to be the location for the taping of their new live concert film and the recording of their new CD. The Performing Arts Alliance of Rural Tennessee invites everyone to come and be a part of this exciting event. This performance will take place on Friday night, June 5, at 7 p.m.
The Electric Experiment began with bassist/singer/songwriter Christian Grizzard’s 2007 independent recording project, Life on the Blue Dot. Co-produced by four-time Grammy winner Trina Shoemaker, this album features 14 stylistically diverse songs played by 24 of the South’s finest musicians, including Jack Pearson (Allman Brothers), Jimmy and Donna Hall (Wet Willie), Guthrie Trapp (Jerry Douglas Band), Lisa Mills (Big Bro. and The Holding Co.) and the McCrary Sisters.
Next Grizzard gathered together some of Nashville’s best working musicians and a band was formed. In bringing together these talented artists a new sound began to evolve. This rock and soul sound has been captured on the latest recording, A New Reality. This latest release features Christian Grizzard, Clint Parris, Josh Pessar, Adam Abrashoff and legendary gospel/soul singers Ann and Regina McCrary.
Christian Grizzard is an eclectic musician who was originally born in Atlanta, GA and now resides in Nashville. He has willingly experienced a wide variety of musical styles as a bassist, singer, songwriter, bandleader, producer, and recording engineer, booking agent, press agent and finder of kindred musical spirits. Grizzard also plays bass for The Johnny Hiland Band, Debbie Ritter and 440 Blues and The Cosmic Blues Authority.
The current artist line-up is Christian Grizzard on bass, Crossville’s own Clint Parris on keys, John Wallum on keys, Josh Pessar on guitar and Adam Abrashoff on drums.
Reserved seat tickets for this event are available at the Palace Theatre on Main Street, Crossville and are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Please visit www.performingartsalliance.org or www.christiangrizzard.com for more information.
