Musketeer Gripweed

The band began from humble beginnings in 2005 when Ben and Jason were neighbors in Fort Collins, Colorado and started casually playing some music together. Soon after, Gripweed was formed. Jason’s roots in the blues and Ben’s wide musical background created an instant bond that led to deep songwriting sessions and their first album release, “Peace Will Win”.

The name ‘Musketeer Gripweed’ was taken from a John Lennon reference, specifically his character’s name when he acted in the movie “How I Won the War“. And, legend has it that he would use that ‘Musketeer Gripweed’ pseudonym as an alias when checking into hotels. The name was strange, but it stuck with fans and friends alike.

Today, you can continue to hear that Gripweed’s music is evolving as much as ever. The way in which each member continues to push each other to be better as individual musicians and collectively as a group has led us to 2 new albums, More Than Ever and Long Past Time.

For those that have been with us for this entire ride, we know that you will love what you hear.

For anyone new to Gripweed, we think this is our best work yet and we are so excited to share it with you.

Thank you all for your continued support of the band, and our passion to constantly bring you new music. We could not do this without you.

The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver
The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver is a music venue born out of a drink and a conversation about the old Denver music scene. Created by Kellner Schoenke at their Longmont restaurant, The Black Buzzard drink fused bacon-infused bourbon and ten fidy imperial stout. Chef and Oskar Blues fooderies partner, Jason Rogers, shared a sip with Kellner, and they realized they had both frequented the same closed blues bar on 16th and Market Street, Brendan's. Years later, Brendan's became available, and it seemed like the perfect time to put some music back into the heart of LoDo. They named the venue after the drink that started it all. Today, located blocks away from Coors Field and Union Station, The Black Buzzard at Oskar Blues Denver hosts buzz-worthy musicians of all genres from Denver and beyond.
