"Lyrics that take us on journeys to places we’ve never visited, and melodies so pure and true they seem to rise up from the Plains." (Nalini Jones - Newport Folk Festival)
FULL DESCRIPTION

“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.



The concert on Saturday, January 18, 2025 will take place at the Wheels Museum, 1100 2nd Street SW, in Albuquerque. It will begin at 1:00 p.m., and there is a $10 admission charge. All ages are invited. For more information, phone 505-243-6269, or visit wheelsmuseum.org.
