From the Binghamton area, The Gravelding Brothers Band consists of four rock star members. On vocals and guitar is Nick and Scott Gravelding, Benny Fiacco on bass guitar, and Gary Armstrong on vocals and drums.
The community is welcoming them this year to perform on Saturday, June 20, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on the main stage located on the Courthouse Square during the annual Strawberry Festival.
The band was put together to play at the local Zooneyfest in 2013. Prior, Nick and Scott had been in a band known as Rusty Still, and Gary had a band called Giant Steps. In addition, Nick and Benny are still in Frostbit Blue. Because the four of them enjoyed playing together and had good feedback from their audience, they decided to remain as a group.
The Gravelding Brothers Band plays southern rock, classic rock, and original music. Their music has a main reflection on the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin. As individual musicians, they have had the privilege of sharing the stage with ZZ Top, The Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, The Outlaws, Blue Oyster Cult, and 38 Special.
They are available for bookings through Music City, located in Vestal, and can be reached by calling (607) 723-2615. Their schedule and photos can also be found on their website at www.thegraveldingbrothers.com.
