The Band

Good Grief began its journey in the summer of 2016 when founding members Nick Bosch (guitar/vocals) and Jason Skowronski (bass guitar) set out to bring their passion for rock and roll to life. What started as a primarily cover-based project quickly evolved into a staple of Milwaukee’s vibrant bar band scene, gaining a loyal following with their high-energy performances and dynamic sound.

The band’s evolution hit its stride with the addition of Mike Richter (drums) and Will Richter (guitar/vocals)—a pair of brothers who brought raw energy and chemistry that would help shape Good Grief’s signature style. With the later additions of Drew Hrobar (guitar) and Sam Mullooly (keys), the band reached its current six-piece lineup, blending intricate layers of sound that capture the heart of classic and modern rock fans alike.

Good Grief’s music has been described as a fiery fusion of The Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Gary Clark Jr., and Oasis. Their sound is built on punchy guitar riffs, soaring solos, pounding drums, driving basslines, and vibrant vocal harmonies that light up every stage they play. Beyond their extensive repertoire of unique covers, Good Grief delivers original, guitar-driven music that showcases their songwriting talent and versatility. Their debut single, “Are You Livin,” is now available to stream, offering a taste of their dynamic style.

Frontmen Nick Bosch and Will Richter lead the charge, trading lead vocals and guitar duties seamlessly from song to song, creating a captivating onstage chemistry that keeps audiences engaged. Anchoring the rhythm section, Jason Skowronski and Mike Richter deliver a tight, commanding low end, while Drew Hrobar brings his own brand of guitar wizardry, rounding out the band’s three-guitar arsenal. Adding a splash of melodic color, Sam Mullooly’s keys elevate the band’s sound, delivering moments of soulful atmosphere and electrifying energy.

Good Grief is more than just a band—they’re a sonic experience. Whether playing to a packed bar or a festival crowd, their performances are equal parts grit and groove, bringing timeless rock and roll energy to every note they play. With their growing collection of original songs and a relentless drive to captivate audiences, Good Grief continues to solidify their place as one of Milwaukee’s premier rock bands.
