Peter Mayer Coming Feb 24th!
Peter Mayer Opens 2023 Spring Season!
Grassroots welcomes Peter back for his
5th Grassroots concert on Feb 24th.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2023—PETER MAYER www.petermayer.net
Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet—songs about interconnectedness and the human journey, about the beauty and mystery of the world. Whimsical, humorous, and profound, his music transcends the everyday love song to reach a realm beyond, to a place of wonder at the very fact of life itself. “Mayer offers up everything you could ever want from a singer songwriter." —Dirty Linen
FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2023—ELLIS DELANEY www.ellisdelaney.com
A gifted performing songwriter, Ellis Delaney is known for her stirring lyrics, open-hearted performances, and contagious laugher. Her new song collection Ordinary Love is anything but ordinary, speaking to personal issues of love and loss, and expanding to include global and social justice themes. “If ever there was a feel-good folk musician, this is the woman.”—John Davy, No Depression
FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 2023—JASPAR LEPAK www.jasparlepak.com
A child of the Sonoran Desert, Jaspar Lepak is a folk/Americana songwriter whose remarkable gift for melody is only surpassed by her poetry. Deeply influenced by the many places she has called home, she sweeps across landscapes with an emotional depth that is extraordinary, while her clear, pure voice touches the heart. “Jaspar Lepak is a songwriter’s dream.”—Christine Lavin
FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023—KELLEY SMITH www.kelleysmithmusic.com
Minnesota folk musician Kelley Smith recently released her first record, Moon Child, just after her 40th birthday. A mother of four, the ups and downs of parenting, love, mental health and a global pandemic were catalysts for her songwriting and the making of a record. “Sure enough, her writing and singing are both full of soul. Absorb this and be moved.”—Americana UK
FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 2023—LUKE LEBLANC www.lukeleblanc.com
Luke LeBlanc is a Minneapolis singer-songwriter musician who delivers dynamic and unapologetically original performances of songs filled with heart, soul, and grit. He taught himself to play guitar at age 11 and at 13 won “Zimmy’s” national Dylan singer-songwriter competition in Hibbing, MN. “LeBlanc’s music is so delicate, understated and careful in its construction, that you forget that it’s taking apart how to live in such an unstable world, while giving solace and a place for rest.”—The Current
