Organic and raw describes the unique music and presentation of The Grim Folks.  These four talented San Antonio performers find their roots in bluegrass and country with a hint of rockabilly flair to glue it all together.  The Grim Folks are comprised of Nathan Quintanilla (guitar & vocals), Chris Stone (bass), Kevin Ruiz (mandolin), and Mark Villanueva (electric guitar); they came together in 2015 and have been drawing big crowds and repeat customers at every venued played.

Arkansas native Mark Searcy Middleton has a unique and diverse musical background.  He picked up the guitar for a brief 5 years and put it down for 15 to raise a family. Mark began playing again as a form of rehabilitation after a work accident severely damaged several fingers and immersed himself in the pre-war blues of the 1920s and 30s. His solo recording of Blind Man's Blues earned his first nomination as "Musician of the Year" at the 2007 Texas Music Awards; he later won the award for his 2014 release of the CD "Hazepipe".  To date, Mark has won 10 music awards and released 8 CDs.

Rotge puts it all out there for every fan at every show and the performances are as heart-felt and intense from start to finish.  Scott Rotge's power as a singer/songwriter resides in his Kerrville, Texas roots; rugged, honest, and majestic.  Few others can instantly capture the attention of a distracted audience and evoke the kind of response that leaves listeners trapped in the song.  Scott's ability to tell a story is skillfully embelished by long-time producer and guitarist Frank Lisenbee.  Together, their ability to draw the audience closer to a new experience or remember forgotten ones, is truly a singular gift.
