The Eiteljorg
Museum of Native and Western Art and the Indy Folk Series present a special
concert at the Eiteljorg Museum on Saturday July 20, 2024 (at 1 pm Eastern time) followed by a songwriting workshop on Sunday
July 21, 2024 (1 pm to 3 pm Eastern time).
Kerry Grombacher and Aspen
Black, both award-winning solo artists, have worked together as a duo since 2014.
Influenced by the English ballad tradition, the string-band music of Aspen’s Appalachian
home, and the corridos of the desert
Southwest, where Kerry has lived and worked, their songs tell stories of the
people and events that shaped the West.
Kerry Grombacher plays guitar
and mandolin. His song “Range of the Buffalo” was named the 2021 Song of the
Year by the International Western Music Association. He’s been featured on the
ABC-TV adventure travel show, “Born to Explore,” and on the
internationally-released Putumayo World Records CD “Cowboy Playground.” Kerry
has released six albums of original songs, and his songs have been recorded by
artists such as Jim Jones, Belinda Gail, The Texas Trailhands, Gary Prescott,
and Trails & Rails. There’s a room named for him at the Sands Motel in
Grants NM, on Historic Route 66.
Aspen Black plays guitar and
bass. Her song, “Born to be a Cowgirl” was a Finalist for the Western Writers
of America’s 2024 Spur Award, and she’s a Will Rogers Medallion winner for her
2018 Cowboy Poetry CD, “Tales From the Road.” Aspen’s “Lovin’ the West” CD was
the Rural Roots Music Commission’s 2017 Classic Western CD of the Year, and her
“Eastern-Western Cowgirl” was the RRMC’s 2015 Female Country-Western CD of the
Year. She is a multi-year Top Five finalist for the International Western Music
Association’s Female Poet of the Year, and both her 2018 “Tales From the Road,”
and her 2016 “Invisibility,” were Top Five finalists for the IWMA’s Cowboy
Poetry CD of the Year.
Concert: Saturday July 20, 2024, 1 pm
