The Grascals are everywhere
OK… maybe not everywhere, but sometimes it seems that way.
They popped up in a recent issue of the star-style magazine US Weekly, and will appear in the January edition of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine.
They also found themselves in the studio with Hank Williams Jr., cutting with him on a song Hank Jr. wrote some time ago. It’s a song with a bluegrass feel, and while it isn’t sure when or where the track may appear, the guys were stoked to be asked to record with such a legend in country music.
The Gracsals hooked up with Martha Stewart at the September 26 wedding of Liesl Menning and Kevin Haynie. Liesl is Stewart’s personal assistant, and Haynie – brother of fiddler Aubrey – performs as a member of Josh Turner’s band. They met on the set of the Martha Stewart show, and the Grascals provided the musical entertainment at their gala Nashville wedding.
Here’s the segment from the Martha Stewart Show where she previews the wedding segment that will be featured on the Style Network in December, which will also feature The Grascals.
