Andrew Gravel
Andrew Gravel is the founding member, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of The Gravel Project.
Formed in 2010, Andrew started performing under the name The Gravel Project, writing songs and playing in the Boston area with a rotating cast of musicians. “Each show sounded completely different depending on who was playing with me,” he recalls. But without a steady lineup, the band lacked the cohesion he envisioned. In 2014 Andrew released The Gravel Project, featuring a diverse cast of musicians he had been performing with live. Yet still something was missing. It wasn’t until 2016 when Jordan moved back to Boston that everything fell into place. “After spending a decade in South Carolina, my brother made the move, and it was understood that he would be part of the band,” says Andrew. Around the same time, drummer Dave Fox joined, solidifying the trio as the band’s core.
Their first true album as a band, Wishful Thinking (2017), was a defining moment. It was followed by Many Miles Ahead (2022) and Live at Wellspring Studios (2023). Now, with their latest release, Find What You Need, The Gravel Project has created what feels like their most authentic album yet.
