About Us


GRACE:
Elegance of Form, Manner, or Motion.

GRAVITY:
The ever-present and powerful balancing force of mutual attraction
between all elements. 		About Grace in Gravity:
“Grace In Gravity” is Sue Vogel on vocals, Matt Strippelhoff on guitar,
Dave Horvath on drums and Russ Dolezal on bass. This Cincinnati based
group has brought together various influences to create their unique
sound. Sue’s delicate vocal style combined with the power of the music
inspired the name “Grace In Gravity”.
“Grace In Gravity” began in the fall of 1995. Matt was playing his
acoustic guitar when a close friend telephoned to chat for awhile.
During this conversation Matt expressed his desire to find another
songwriter to work with. As fate would have it, his friend knew of just
the right person, Sue Vogel. That very evening the two of them met and
wrote their first song together. That song, “Living in a World” is still
one of their most requested.

Sue
began to work with Matt and his band “Thistle Moon”. After several
successful shows and their first five song demo the members began to
move in different directions. In the Fall of 1996 Sue and Matt reformed
the group as “Grace In Gravity”. Changes in the direction of the music
continued and soon things changed in the line up as well.

Russ
Dolezal joined “Grace In Gravity” in the spring of 1997 to replace
bassist Ritch Parrish. Dave Horvath joined the group in the fall of 1997
to replace percussionist Dave Maupin. Russ and Dave have added their own
styles to the songs and contributed a great deal in way of song writing.
Everything finally came together, and the groove was on!
