Tracy Grammer rose to acclaim as half of the "postmodern, mythic American folk" duo, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, and since then has risen to acclaim as one of folkdom's most loved performers. No stranger to Bay Area audiences, Grammer makes her Woodshed debut on Saturday January 25.
The Woodshed is an
80-seat listening room located inside Keith Holland Guitars, managed by 501c3
nonprofit Woodshed Music & Arts.
Tickets
are $18 in advance, available at Keith
Holland Guitars and online via Brown Paper Tickets. To charge by phone call 800-838-3006.
Remaining tickets will be $22 at the door.
From 1998-2001, the duo of Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer released three internationally celebrated, folk chart-topping albums featuring Carter's mytho-poetic Americana songcraft and in 2002, toured with Joan Baez, both as featured artists and Baez's band members. Called "the new voice of modern folk music," the duo was clearly in its ascendancy when in July 2002, Carter suffered a fatal heart attack while the duo was on tour in Massachusetts. He was 49; Grammer, 34.
Renowned for her springwater-clear alto, perfectly intoned violin, and guitar playing that is by turns percussive and delicate, Grammer has also become a masterful storyteller with an ease and charisma on stage not to mention a riotous sense of humor that hardly belie her modest beginnings as Carter's ethereal and reclusive accompanist.
Stories about the duo's first meeting, Carter's quirks and fancies, or Grammer's own misadventures and missteps are woven thoughtfully into the set list to create a uniquely personal evening that connects audiences to performer, to the Carter/Grammer legacy, and most importantly, to one another. As one fan put it, "With her, it's never just about the music. It's a soul journey."
