Putting the “Rascal” back in Rock, Greasy McGhee is a homegrown, all original band with a truckload of swagger!

Mike “King Daddy” Morris on vocals, harmonica, percussion and rhythm guitar.  Just don’t expect him to play and sing all instruments at once, ok?  Nick James Michael adds vocals and the kind of lead guitar that just begs for more.  Matt Bell is featured on bass and the drummer for the band formerly known as the “Knuckleheads” rounds out this fabulously talented foursome featuring all original tunes.  That’s right, while it seems most folks were doubled up in the fetal position during covid, we were all busy writing music!  Now it’s your turn to come out and support singer/songwriting artists performing live.

Greasy McGhee is on Facebook!

Frizzy and Edgy are two talented local Jerome musicians and they will amaze you with the depth of their musicianship.  Sally has been singing since an early age and has been in numerous bands and projects.  With her on bass, her husband joins her with harmonies and guitar.

Start your weekend right with some home-grown tunes at the Spirit Room in Jerome Az.
