New Blues Revolution - Bio

Nominated for "Best Musical Group" by the L.A. Music Awards, New Blues Revolution (NBR) continues a winning streak in 2012. The band previously hosted the Red Carpet at the 2010 L.A. Music Awards, held on the famed Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood, Calif. . NBR is at the forefront of the new Blues movement in the U.S., akin to the boom in the British Blues in the 1960's. They work to broaden, deepen and contemporize the blues.

The band have opened for a diverse range of music legends including Tab Benoit, Macy Gray, Leon Russell, Rick Derringer, Burt Bacharach, Blood Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, David Lindley, Michael Burks and Katey Sagal.

Forging a unique, distinctive style featuring Bill Grisolia's vocals and piano and Chap Cooper's guitar, the band brings exciting showmanship to a mix of high-energy New Blues numbers and ballads - deep, modern, rocky but soulful. The New Blues Revolution has received rave reviews from national trade magazines such as Cashbox and Music Connection. Critics have recognized NBR's exciting talent and their extraordinary songwriting.

Before he was 12, Chap played rhythm guitar for members of the Yardbirds and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. It was old hat to the guitarist who scored his first paying gig at age 8. Growing up among Rock's most famous legends has led to his working with many top musicians and recording artists. Early on, Chap led the house band at Gazzari's, a top Sunset Strip music venue from yesteryear. While Bill's first memories of life are of the Spanish coast of the Mediterranean, the bilingual singer grew up in the blues rock jazz stew of Kansas City, MO. His international career began at age eighteen playing the top clubs of Valencia, Spain (Tres Triste Tigres and Pub Gent in the rough Barrio Del Carmen district). In grade school, he loved a single from the Spanish Beatle-esque band, Los Bravos. Self-taught, he earned himself an endorsement contract with Yamaha acoustic pianos.
