Tracy Grammer - Folk

Tracy Grammer rose to acclaim as half
of the “post-modern, mythic acoustic” duo, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer. The duo last appeared at the I.O.O.F. Hall in Georgetown in 2000 and since then has toured with Joan Baez, both as featured artists and band members. Sadly, Carter died in 2002 leaving Grammer to forge ahead alone. Grammer says, ““Music for me is a language like no other; it is my channel of authenticity. I know I’d only be telling half the truth without it...”

Tom Rigney & Flambeau - Irish Cajun

Tom Rigney and Flambeau specialize in fiery Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and waltzes. Their high energy live show features tight ensemble playing, deeply infectious grooves, and spectacular soloing. Most of the repertoire is composed by Rigney, but they also mix in a few classics from the Cajun/zydeco/New Orleans songbook. And if, along the way, you pick up a trace of Rigney’s Irish roots, or a little Swing from his roots in Rock and Roll, it just makes the musical gumbo that much tastier.
