Michael Grubbs sat down and recorded a five song EP, The War Sweater, which will be released on May 18th of this year. It’s a solid five songs and he has some talented individuals backing him up with instrumental sections that really fill up this piano mans sound {most notably Kelly Pratt, Maxim Moston, and Julia Kent}. Here’s a sample of what you can expect on the EP when it officially hits stores in a few weeks.

Michael Grubbs is one of the up and coming talented folks to live in and around NYC as of late and both of these tracks are absolutely brilliant. I’ve been a fan of his ever since I heard his brilliant album full of covers a year ago. If you can get out to see him play I highly recommend it. Here’s his upcoming shows.
