Gravy is the culmination of four distinct views of musical appreciation. Since forming in 2003, Gravy has quickly climbed the ranks of the New Orleans music scene, providing a mix of styles and genres that satisfy the sophisticated palettes of their fans. It did not take them long to find a following in New Orleans, and soon, they had earned the privilege of playing events such as French Quarter Festival, along with numerous late night shows during the prestigious New Orleans Jazz Fest.

A LowDown ThrowDown Show wiil take the listener on a journey touching on almost every style of music out there. Each song remains comfortably within its genre while being open to interpretation by each member of the band. Lyrically, almost all of the tunes have a message. Balthrop sings about past hardships, and moving on. A consistent theme seems to be the mysticality of "the big move" our dying and rebirth into the after world. and all this while maintaining a fun, light-hearted demeanor on stage. A substantial amount of "jamming", without being overly self-indulgent, lends itself to these songs that carry this message. One must be at LowDown ThrowDown show to understand why and how they are emerging on the scene as the original "Purveyors of "Controlled Substance".
