The Nick Moss Band Featuring Dennis Gruenling are modern day Chicago blues warriors led by the stinging fretwork of singer/guitarist Nick Moss and the tour de force harmonica playing of Dennis Gruenling. The band has won Blues Music Awards for Traditional Blues Album, Band of the Year, Song of the Year, Traditional Blues Male Artist of the Year and Best Instrumentalist—Harmonica.

With GET YOUR BACK INTO IT!, Chicago native, guitarist and vocalist Nick Moss and New Jersey native, harmonica player and vocalist Dennis Gruenling – together with Rodrigo Mantovani on bass, Taylor Streiff on keyboards and Pierce Downer on drums – deliver a deeply rooted, timeless blue-collar blues album.

GET YOUR BACK INTO IT! was produced by Moss and Mantovani and contains fourteen original songs -- twelve by Moss and two by Gruenling. Guests include saxophonist “Sax” Gordon Beadle and organist “Brother” John Kattke. The album is inspired by the electrifying blues sounds of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and is performed with taste, restraint, sly humor and pure joy. In addition to the expertly crafted lyrics, the album features three wild instrumentals that simply dare you to stay seated.

The Nick Moss Band Featuring Dennis Gruenling will bring their brash, exciting blues to old fans and new. Performing at clubs, concert halls and on festival stages across the country and around the world, the band ignites an irresistible, musical firestorm onstage. “When we get together, the music takes over,” says Moss. “We can’t hold back, and the energy just comes pouring out. We get carried away and the audience gets carried away with us.”
