Skunk Jesus is a New England-based band that blends groove-heavy rhythms, psychedelic textures, and improvisational energy into a sound that’s both grounded and exploratory. The trio features Riley Stockwell on guitar, Mike Dettorre on drums, and Shon Gordon on bass—three players with deep chemistry and a shared love of pushing musical boundaries. With roots in funk and rock, their live sets fluidly move between tight arrangements and wide-open jams, always leaving space for something new.

Known for bringing in special guests, Skunk Jesus creates an ever-evolving live experience. They invite some of the region’s best players to join them on stage, improvising freely and exploring their creativity within the band’s unique framework.

Originally created by Andrew Gravel (vocals, guitar), The Gravel Project is an all star band of Boston music veterans including brother, Jordan Gravel (organ, keys), Dave Fox (drums), and Eguie Castrillo (percussion). The Gravel Project’s live show blends rock, world music and jazz with power and soul. Carrying the tradition of 70’s blues and psychedelic rock music, The Gravel Project embodies the spirit of Santana combined with the classic raw energy and moving songwriting of The Allman Brothers and Tedeschi Trucks Band. With three studio albums, a live album and countless past performances, the future is bright for Boston’s The Gravel Project, and as the title of their 2022 studio album suggests, there are “Many Miles Ahead.”
