Graystone Bluegrass Revival is an established Oklahoma bluegrass band, known for its hard-driving music, close harmonies, and for being some of the nicest gentlemen you will ever meet. Graystone combines outstanding talent and ability, as well as many years of unique musical experience, to present some of the most powerful bluegrass Gospel music heard today. In addition, Graystone performs original songs and traditional bluegrass standards. Graystone Bluegrass Revival has mostly appeared at churches, restaurants, fund raisers, and various events around Oklahoma.

Greg Hodapp plays clawhammer banjo, mountain dulcimer, and concertina all while accompanying himself with foot stomp rhythm and harmonica. That’s not all though. At one of his shows you might just hear the bodhran , guitar, Scottish smallpipes, penny whistle, or the limberjack. Greg is a multi- intrumentalist whose music grows out of the soil and the sea, out of 4 am square dances, and square-rigged ships. Traditional and original Old Time, Celtic, Maritime, and Americana is the music he plays and lives, having been a homesteader, sailor, traveler, gardener, groundskeeper, and teacher. Dance tunes, ballads, pub songs, shanties, and waltzes all find their place at one of his shows. Greg is a newly arrived Idaho resident, who originally hails from Ohio and Wisconsin, but along with his family, now calls the Lewiston area home.

The Adirondack duo have brought their blend of modern yet classically old-timey sounds to many appreciative audiences in the Northeast and beyond. Keanen Stark (guitar, banjo, harmonica), "is becoming a master of the old-time folk styles of Woody Guthrie. A folk singer in the truest sense, with a knack for cross-harp, his stripped down minimalist take on traditional folk music is sure to please." Orion Kribs (mandolin, guitar) "is a world class mandolin player capable of breakneck speed and nuanced solo work.” Orion also plays in the Celtic bluegrass band The McKrells and is an endorsee of Godin-Seagull guitars. Each a capable lead vocalist, Stark and Kribs swap old-timey folk, blues, and classic americana tunes, and dabble at entertaining endless other influences and flights of fancy. “Keanen Stark and Orion Kribs are two of the finest young blues and bluegrass musicians in the capital region, with a throwback sound, charming stage dynamics, and lightning fast licks.” - Caffe Lena
