Songs & Stories of the American West
The Wheels Museum
Sat, Jan 18 1:00pm - 2:00pm
“I love returning to New Mexico and performing in Albuquerque,” Grombacher said recently, “As I travel, I look to the land, the history, and the people I meet for stories that help me to better understand our nation and myself, and I have found inspiration here for many years.”
Kerry Grombacher’s contemporary folk and western songs paint vivid portraits and tell fascinating stories that are set in the landscape he travels, from the bayous of Louisiana, through the desert Southwest, to the Hi-Line of Montana and the forests of the Pacific Northwest. “Range of the Buffalo,” the title track of his 2021 CD, was named Song of the Year by the International Western Music Association. Kerry, a modern-day troubadour who has a room named for him at the Sands Motel on Historic Route 66 in Grants NM, has sung his songs on stages as varied as the Newport Folk Festival, the Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage. He has been a regular performer at Albuquerque's Solid Grounds Coffeehouse concert series, and his concert will feature many songs inspired by, and set in, New Mexico.
