The Grimm®

The Grimm® is an American rock band that was formed in 1961 and originally performed under the name The Four/Fifths. The five original band members included Greg Ericksen (lead vocals/guitar), Greg Dickman (lead guitar), Denie Hill / Lane Ward (drums), Marvin Ellis (bass), and Mike Alder (organ).

The Grimm® had just begun rising to fame and climbing regional charts in 1968 with their popular single, “The Darkness and the Night,” when the band disbanded as members left to serve either their country or for personal reasons. At the height of their success, they took a hiatus with music still left to be played and made.

In 2021, founding member Greg Ericksen was joined by Andrew Doolittle (guitar), Joel Stevenett (drums), Tommy Hopkins (lead guitar), Levi Wunderlich (bass), and Brett Raymond (organ). The band continues to perform much of their original 1960s material while expanding their repertoire with newer songs, including Hit Me Now, Big Train, Crawlin’, and Liberty.

To date, The Grimm® have released four albums: Lost Tracks, Lost Tracks 2, Oculus, and Grimm Times.

Recent successes include singles, “Liberty” reaching #1 on the CDX Traction Southern Gospel & Positive Country chart, “Hit Me Now” breaking into the Top 40 with strong radio airplay and Grammy consideration for its acoustic version, and “Crawlin’” is gaining momentum through national radio release. The band’s original 60s track “White Horse” continues to resonate, with its official music video recently released surpassing 115,000 views.

Today, The Grimm® stand as a powerful example of a band bridging generations—honoring their legacy while connecting with a new wave of listeners.
