GRAVEKEY is an electrifying alternative rock band hailing from Grand Island, NE, fronted by powerhouse vocalist, pianist, and songwriter Jessi Day. As someone who studied music and teaches the craft, Jessi brings a unique twist to their songwriting style with her music theory knowledge and classically trained voice. The band's most experienced performer and other longtime member is their bassist Morgan Kounovsky. Their drummer Jared Rechsteiner drummed for his local churches and Jessi back in college before joining GRAVEKEY. Their newest member, Zac Coté, tops off this dynamic group as their lead guitarist with his own personal catalogue as the solo artist “Graceborne.” 

Their debut EP, Madness, dropped in March of 2023, showcasing their ability to channel raw emotion through music. Known for their dynamic live shows, GRAVEKEY delivers unforgettable renditions of iconic female-fronted rock anthems while crafting original material that pushes the boundaries of their genre. With vocals reminiscent of Evanescence’s Amy Lee, they fuse haunting melodies, hard-hitting riffs, and emotionally charged performances to create an experience that lingers long after the music stops.

Currently they are back in the studio gearing up for their next evolution. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning.
