Tracy Grammer in Concert and Conversation

folk

Sunday, November 2

3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Tracy Grammar is one of contemporary folk music’s most beloved artists. Renowned for her pure, emotive vocals, perfectly intoned violin, and guitar playing that is by turns percussive and delicate, Grammer is also a gifted storyteller whose incantations add a rare mixture of vulnerability, intimacy, and hard-won insight to her performances. As one fan puts it, “With Tracy, it’s never just about the music; it’s a soul journey.”

We had another great year of artistic pumpkin carving with Mike and Joanne Bare. There were so many amazing and unique designs!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a spooky workshop this month—we hope to see you at Howl-Oween Pawty or our Halloween Party (or both)!
