Granvil Poynter - Another Day Singing the Blues (2013)

Quietly working under the radar is how one friend describes Granvil Poynter and his music. But he has not gone unnoticed! He has won best blues artist in the San Antonio music awards. Billy F. Gibbons has tapped him for shows with ZZ Top and for Mr. Gibbon’s solo tour. With the release of his new album “Cigarettes and Gin” maybe its time the world took notice of this San Antonio musician! Only time will tell.Granvil developed his blues based sound in the roadhouses of his native Arkansas and in the bars and juke joints of the Lone Star State. His gateway to the blues was the incredible work of popular artists Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and once he got a taste of this he dug deeper and discovered the marvel of the old school masters, including Muddy Waters, Albert King, and John Lee Hooker.
Granvil and his band deliver some seriously sizzling chops that make die-hard blues fans holler for more! Even though he is known as a master of the less is more approach to blues, he also delivers fierce single-string savagery that makes for a truly satisfying night of entertainment. Here is what one fan had to say after hearing Granvil play one night at Antone’s Nightclub
“While I don't have many words to capture what your music accomplishes, let me say that your voice (and ASS-KICKING instrumentals) convey the human situation: the longings, the feelings, the struggles, the hopes....you are getting at what it means to be someone and try to get up each day and push the rock forward.”

Granvil continues to play venues and festivals in San Antonio, Austin and across the United States continuing to keep the Blues alive and well!
