Brian Grilli

Authentic, gritty, and unapologetically American, Brian Grilli embodies the spirit of Americana music. Blending roots rock, Southern rock, country, and blues, Grilli delivers a sound that is both timeless and distinctly his own. His songwriting is honest, heartfelt, and deeply rooted in personal experience, weaving stories of life, love, hardship, and redemption into songs that connect with audiences from all walks of life.

A combat veteran and retired U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician, Grilli brings a unique perspective and an unmistakable authenticity to his music. Following his military career, he turned his passion for songwriting and performing into a successful recording career, earning national radio recognition, Billboard chart success, and millions of streams.

His debut album, Damn Good Day, launched his recording career with its title track reaching #1 on New Music Weekly and IndieWorld charts. His sophomore release, Deep South Symphony, further established his place in the Americana and roots-rock landscape, appearing on nine Billboard charts, including #1 on the Heatseekers chart. The album also produced two Top 10 singles on New Music Weekly and Americana radio charts.

Grilli continued to explore his musical evolution with Progression, a collection of demos, B-sides, unreleased material, and live recordings that chronicles the growth of his songwriting throughout his career.

His third studio album, Great Big Sky, and EP, Love Songs?, both produced by acclaimed singer-songwriter Levi Lowrey, feature an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Charlie Starr and Paul Jackson of Blackberry Smoke, Dan Baird of the Georgia Satellites, and Jeff Massey of The Steepwater Band. These recordings showcase Grilli's ability to move effortlessly across genres while delivering powerful, emotionally resonant songs.

Continuing his musical evolution, Grilli's single “Hanging Tree” blends gritty roots rock with the raw attitude of cowpunk. Produced by Dave Catching (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal) at the legendary Rancho De La Luna studio in Joshua Tree, California, and featuring powerhouse drummer Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age, Danzig, Zakk Sabbath), the track marks a bold new chapter in Grilli's sound.

Beyond his own recordings, Grilli's songwriting has reached audiences through television and film, with credits including FX's Sons of Anarchy and the documentary Until It Hurts. His music has amassed over four million streams, further expanding his reach and growing audience.

A dynamic and engaging performer, he combines seasoned musicianship, natural charisma, and high-energy showmanship to create an unforgettable live experience. Whether performing an intimate acoustic set or commanding a full-band stage, Grilli delivers a performance that is as genuine as it is electrifying.
