Tonight, The Barns hosts a general admission dance with D.C.-based roots rockers with brassy jams The Grandsons.
This acclaimed quartet produces the best of Americana rock ’n’ roll, bolstered by
top-notch horns and clever, perceptive lyrics.
The Grandsons’ current lineup includes Alan MacEwan (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Matthew Sedgley (percussion), Chris Watling (saxophone) and a revolving cast of veteran bassists.
They have recorded six full-length albums, including two live releases recorded at The Barns at Wolf Trap, Live at The Barns—The Legendary Wolf Trap Recordings Volume One and Volume Two.
The band was the recipient of the Washington Area Music Association’s (Wammie) 2008 Artist of the Year Award, and their fourth album, Pan-American Shindig, spent 10 weeks in the Americana Music Association’s Top Forty chart.
The Grandsons have a children’s music alter-ego, dubbed “the grandsons, Jr.,” that recently released its first album, a tribute to the zany, kid-friendly songs of jazz hipster Slim Gaillard.
"Bands like The Grandsons are a paradox; jealously guarded secrets and highly suggested listening. Incredibly intelligent but highly accessible.”—No Depression
The Grandsons invite you to join them on Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8 pm.
