As a spin-off of perennial Queen Street stompers the Paul Myers Band, the Gravelberrys were formed in 1991 after new songs like "Rome (Wasn't Built In A Daydream)" were being recorded by Myers with producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda (Barenaked Ladies, Spirit Of The West, Rheostatics).
The first line-up with Greenway, Montford, and Olive (ex-Arrows, Jitters) played local gigs around Toronto. When it came time for Myers to take the band on the road, a more permanent line-up was recruited with Trentman, Immonen, and Baisley.
They released one independent album, 'Bowl Of Globes', in 1993. The single "Wonder Where You Are Tonight" received major radio airplay and the album garnered critical acclaim everywhere.
Myers would go on to freelance for some Canadian music trade publications and produced the album 'Can I Open The Big Present First?' for Toronto act Knockout Pill, before relocating to California to pursue a producing and songwriting career.
Myers has written material with Damhnait Doyle, The Waltons, Melanie Doane, Scott Dibble, and has written biographies of the Barenaked Ladies, Long John Baldry and Todd Rundgren; Montford would do session work for the likes of The Rankin Family; Olive joined former Pukka Orchestra members Neil Chapman and Tony Duggan-Smith in Neotone who also released an independent CD; Greenway released his own solo album under the pseudonym Brilliant Fish.
