Hey Fans!

We’re starting to organize our 2013 National Summer Tour and there are a lot of places we want to visit.  If you want Sam Pace and the Gilded Grit to visit your town please let us know!

We are open to any suggestions but benefit greatly from venues that should be considered or connections you may have around town.

The sooner you get at us the better chance we can make it work.  Hit us up on Facebook, Twitter, Reverbnation or email us at sampacemusic@gmail.com.

Hopefully we’ll be seeing you soon!

Here’s a little Ken Burns style music video to Track #1 on The Feelin’:

The last Grit show of 2012 is coming up on Friday, December 14 @ Frank (hotdogscoldbeer.com/) in downtown Austin.

It’s been a great year for us and we thank all the fans that have given us their love and support.  2013 promises to be even more exciting and this holiday celebration will be a great chance to enjoy what the Grit has become, and look forward to where we are going.

We sincerely hope you can make it out. Frank is an awesome venue; equally awesome are the bands joining us!

’12 Summer Tour : The Feelin’

Some sad news in the Grit family today. Our beloved drummer Jake Causey is moving on from the band as he navigates this thing called life. Jake has been a wonderful person to work with and we will miss him greatly. He’s gonna play tomorrow night with us at Friends, and possibly one or two more. So come on out and say goodbye to Jake!
(the Grit will be filling Jakes void this month, and should make all our Fall dates).

The Feelin’ is now available on most music sites, visit iTunes, Amazon, or your favorite site and purchase the album today!
