Corn Wallace Band Schedule
(piano/guitar) 'If Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt had gone on a triple-date with John Fahey, Dock Boggs and Bill Monroe to an Anton Webern concert, you'd be somewhere in the neighborhood of Grant Wallace Band.' — Doyle Armbrust, Time Out Chicago 'spidery original bluegrass songs, featuring ambiguous harmonies and high-lonesome yelps.' — Steve Smith, New York Times 'The music of cogently balances each musician's compositional ideas with a collective vision.There is a gentleness to the complexity.' — Will Robin, 'In its songs the Grant Wallace Band looks at life with a gimlet eye. Their slightly off-center harmonies and minor keys hinted that simple pleasures like biking to a bridge or watching plums fall into a box may not be as innocent as they seem. Amid such company, even sunny Hollywood Technicolor seemed faintly sinister.' — Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Classical Review 'Ben Hjertmann’s light, rosy tenor fuses appealingly with Luke Gullickson’s piano lines and Chris Fisher-Lochhead’s viola.
The skeletal hybrid has just a whiff of some of the folk-oriented vocals popularized decades ago like the Kingston Trio or the Limelighters, but with subtle harmonic stings, especially from Fisher-Lochhead’s wiry viola, that remind you it’s 50 years later.' — Bruce Hodges, Seen and Heard International 'Grant Wallace Band weaves poetic, melancholy folkmasterful compositions.' — Local Loop Chicago For booking, please write: grantwallaceband (AT) gmail (DOT) com.
