Performing under the name Grieves, the hip hop duo comprised of Benjamin Laub and multi-instrumentalist Josh Karp, who goes by Budo are one of the latest additions to the local label Rhymesayers. While both came from the Seattle scene, it was until they were both in central Illinois that they met.

After two years on the road in support of "88 Keys and Counting," Grieves took some time to write "Together/Apart," released in June of 2011.

Songs performed: "On The Rocks," "Light Speed," and "Against The Bottom."
