"IN THE BLUES THE MUSICIAN TELLS A STORY AND LIVES THE STORY THRU HIS MUSIC" 

An Arkansas native, adopted by Texas blues, Granvil Poynter from San Antonio has remained hidden behind one of the most genuine and latent ceremonies of contemporary blues in the lone star state, not in vain Billy Gibbons admires his style and he took him to warm up the gigs of the Top's machine. Initiated through the whirlwind of the brothers Jimmie and Steve, his guitar has an elegance and distinction far from any stridency, based on clear chords and riffs as solid as harmonics that build perfect songs. His voice accompanies with subtlety and credibility some basic guitar-bass-drums structures, never longer than necessary, without solos that divert the listener's attention towards unnecessary superfluous minutes. Granvil Poyter released his first album in 2013 and confirmed his presence on the San Antonio blues circuit, won best blues artist in the San Antonio music awards and jumped to the national scene, all without being evaluated by fans and media as a rising value. Who pays the attention it deserves? With this second album, Poynter has made a brilliant blues album available to all of us and should grow in popularity and acceptance as a contemporary blues artist.
