Southern Indiana string band Grease Gravy got its start as a group in the 1990s. The band formed based on close, longstanding relationships with one another and with the musical life of the region where they live. Their music is driven by an appreciation for cultural heritage and commitment to community involvement. The band emerges from and continues to contribute to a vibrant roots music culture in the Orange County area, where they commonly gather with neighbors to share music and fellowship.
As an instrument builder, musician, folk artist, and music organizer, Larry Hopkins is a man of many talents. Larry first learned to fiddle from his uncles and grandfathers and now continues to promote music within his community by organizing jam sessions, fiddle contest and donating instruments. Larry’s instruments are built for players by a player. He’s less concerned with appearance than with sound quality, and his top goal is for his instruments to be pleasing and enjoyable to the ear.
