BABY GRAMPS

 BABY GRAMPS

 FRIDAY, JUNE 21ST, 2013 - 7:00 PM

"Sounding like a Tuvan throat-singing monk on LSD, Baby Gramps chants with the intensity of a Captain Ahab." (Pop Matters) Baby Gramps has been performing and based out of the Northwest for almost 40 years. With a collection of traditional blues, Dylan covers, children's songs, and his own compositions, this ageless performer is described by Patrick Ferris as having "a mass appeal in the sense that any audience between the age of 2 and 102 are captivated by his vaudeville antics, hilarious lyrics and animated guitar playing."

This 5 time Blues Music award nominee "is no "rocker" masquerading as a "bluesman", no "Hendrix wanna be" - he is simply true to his ... heart and the rockin' soul in his music." Michael Powers is a rare find in the music world; "an impressive musical range and versatility - a musician for all seasons." (Blues Matters)
