Electronic heavyweight GRiZ has started off his year on a high note. On Friday, the Denver, CO-based multi-instrumentalist producer released his latest studio album, Ride Waves. GRiZ’s fifth studio album includes 14 exploratory tracks and features a plethora of music’s finest, including Snoop Dogg, Matisyahu, Bootsy Collins, Wiz Khalifa and many more.
GRiZ’s recent sonic journey touched down in New York’s urban core to record with the Harlem Gospel Choir, Chicago’s South Side to collaborate with a children’s choir, and spanned across many sessions in New Orleans. Ride Waves is the culmination of the last two years for GRiZ, as the saxophone extraordinaire reflects on different elements of cultural, social, political, and economic issues that have continuously become more present in recent times. The expansive cast GRiZ recruited for his Ride Waves release brought a diverse array of genres and musical styles into the equation, ultimately producing an authentic portrayal of the soundscapes of GRiZ’s world.

Ride Waves comes paired with a world tour, which will kick off at the beginning of May and will see GRiZ touch down everywhere from the East Coast, to Costa Rica, to the eclectic stages of British Columbia’s Shambhala, Europe, Delaware’s Firefly Music Festival, and Tennessee’s Bonnaroo where he has the honor of curating this year’s SuperJam.
GRiZ will open up his tour in support of Ride Waves with a special performance at The Amp in St. Augustine, FL. The one-man wrecking machine has tapped an impressive support lineup for his St. Augustine bash including Portland-based producer Yung Bae and urban pop producer Dwilly. Fans should note that the performance marks GRiZ’s only current scheduled show in Florida.
