Kurt Reil of The Grip Weeds
I have a long-overdue chat with Kurt Reil, singer, songwriter, and drummer of the power-pop favorite band The Grip Weeds. I first interviewed Kurt back in 2017, so it was great to catch up with him right after a performance at New York’s IPO festival in November 2021. We talk about the band’s new album of covers “DiG” and what he’s been up to at The House of Vibes production studio.
