One Hell of a Good Time, Rowdy, Swampy, Southern Rock

Gratis is modern Southern rock from Georgia — blending the grit of ’90s grunge, the storytelling of country, and the urgency of punk. Drawing influence from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty to Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, the band delivers songs that are as raw as they are melodic.

Frontman Blake Allman cut his teeth as a sideman for country artist Kevin Moon before Moon’s move to Nashville, sharpening his voice and stage presence in the process. On lead guitar, Todd Williams brings nearly a decade of Nashville experience, fusing Southern rock roots with a modern edge. Ryan Trotter (bass) and Tyler Middlebrooks(drums)
drive the rhythm section with the fire of their punk and grunge roots.

From intimate clubs to festival stages, Gratis has built a reputation for shows that are honest, loud, and unforgettable. Their upcoming single, “Faster Horses” (dropping November 2025), captures the spirit of a band built for the road — and one that’s only just getting started.
