Outpost Drive, where the American South meets The British Isles, features the talents of Willow Robinson and Mary Bragg Robinson. Mary Bragg, a native of Mobile, Alabama, tells tales of her homeland with honey sweet vocals, while Willow who grew up in the English Countryside, brings his powerful voice and guitar playing to their harmonious blend of American Country and British Folk. The two found each other on Outpost Drive in Los Angeles, California. The rest is history. Grits & Greens is a Mississippi-based quartet bringing a fresh take on rock and roll. Blending soulful melodies, dynamic guitar work, and a touch of improvisation, their live shows are filled with energy and heart. With a sound that’s both raw and refined, they create an experience that draws listeners in and keeps them moving.
