Biography

Hailing from Lexington, KY, and made up of seasoned music vets Shawn Hatchell (vocals), Steve Barron (guitars), Steve Nall (bass), and Roger Ramos (drums), Graveyard Romeos is the premier hard rock/metal band in the area. The band formed in 2012 initially as an 80’s hard rock/metal cover band and quickly amassed a large local following, breaking attendance records at several local venues. Having mainly been in original projects before the formation of Graveyard Romeos, it was a natural evolution for the band to eventually begin writing original material while continuing to play the cover band circuit. The band’s initial release, entitled “GYR” was well received by fans and the single “Beneath The Shadows” received widespread airplay on terrestrial and internet radio stations around the world. Their latest single, “Alienated”, released in May of 2023, has been added by multiple stations and has received positive reactions throughout the industry. Over the years, the band has had the wonderful opportunity to have shared the stage with bands such as Drowning Pool, Saliva, Ratt, Jackyl, and Saving Abel to name just a few. Having overcome many challenges in a demanding industry, they are creating a distinct sound and are receiving well-deserved industry acclaim, winning the Lexi Award in 2019 for "Best Cover Band" and in 2020, 2022, and 2023 for "Best Metal Band".
