Caviar & Grits serves up a bold blend of original soul and funk that’s equal parts silky smooth and gritty groove. Based in Binghamton, NY, this five-piece powerhouse brings smoky vocals, tight rhythms, and infectious energy to every stage they hit. Fronted by the magnetic Michaela Clark (lead vocals, guitar, and pen behind the punchy lyrics), the group is rounded out by a crew of musical heavy-hitters: Tyson Alston on keys, Joe Kollar on guitar, JIm Lomonaco holding it down on bass, and Moses Valle driving the beat on drums. Together, they channel the raw emotional depth of Amy Winehouse, the genre-hopping soul of Lake Street Dive, and the joyful explosiveness of Sammy Rae & The Friends—but with a flavor all their own. Their 2024 EP, The C&G Spot, is streaming everywhere now and hits with the swagger, soul, and sass you didn’t know you needed. From dancefloor-ready bangers to slow-burn soul, Caviar & Grits is here to make you move, feel, and come back hungry for more. Catch them live, and you’ll see: this band doesn’t just play music—they throw a party.
