There were a lot of them.”

“The tour winds through the county’s less-traveled roads, past tidy farms and tiny towns, to flaunt the season’s explosive color. But what makes this particular drive so exceptional is more than two dozen farm-based art installations and other attractions–from Roadside Culture Stands selling local produce to music and theater performances in the fields along the way.”

Graminy Concert (indoor)

aefoley — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:56:20 +0000

Founded in 2010, Graminy is a new band, based in Madison, Wisconsin. Graminy members seek to fuse the classical and grassroots traditions, from Bach to bluegrass, from Copland to Celtic, from Gershwin to native American, from Kodaly to klezmer, and more. Drawing on all these styles, Graminy composes and arranges all its music, which includes lots of quick changes, generous improvisations, and occasional singing. Graminy calls their style “class-grass.” Their aim is to put more class in grass and more grass in class.

Graminy’s music focuses on themes of ecology and place. Their name derives from the botanical name for the grass family, Gramineae, as our music draws on the entire family of grassroots traditions, from all places and ecologies.

Join us for this full length concert.

Graminy will also appear for two 20-minute Pasture Performances along the Farm/Art DTour. More information about these performances here.
