The Grey Area is a local (Boston) band that's gained a bigger and bigger following in recent months. They've been playing more shows, many at Harper's Ferry, and practicing a LOT. I know this because a good friend of mind is in the band, and though they make music a little different than what I usually listen to I like to go to their shows when I can. I don't want to box them in with a label, but I think if I had to I'd probably describe them as a "jam band."
I'm writing about The Grey Area because I went to their show the other night. They played on (what was supposedly) the last night of Bill's Bar, along with Otherwise. And what was so cool for me about this show was that they had improved SO much since the last time I saw them, just a few months ago. The difference was just incredible--I noticed it before I even started trying to listen critically. They were interacting with each other much better, they sounded tighter, and there was so much more in the music to grab on to, more compelling the audience to listen up. I know they've been working really hard and it was so inspiring for me to see what a huge difference that work made. I hope everyone will check them out--I'll definitely post next time they have a show!
