Ghost-Note: Grammy winners on local tasting room’s stage

It is rare to hear of a Grammy Award winner hitting the stage of a local brewery taproom, but it’s even more rare when you consider that this duo both won their Grammys for work on separate projects. 

This is the beauty of Ghost-Note — a fresh, percussion-rich duo made up of Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, whose names are well known in the music industry for their talent.  

With a blend of beats rooted in West African, Afro-Cuban, and Brazilian samba, Ghost-Note  drum and percussion influences bring to the ear musical elements that harken James Brown, J Dilla, and the Beastie Boys.

Grand Rapids’ Founders Taproom is just the third stop on Ghost-Note’s first leg of the band’s spring 2017 tour. 

In advance of Ghost-Note’s Grand Rapids appearance, be sure to check out the duo’s Bandcamp page, where you can preview their energetic debut release, “Fortified.”

Admission is just $5.
