We like to talk about music--mostly of the folk and acoustic variety--from our home bases in Urbana, Illinois; South Hadley, Massachusetts; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York, New York; and Portland, Oregon. The name of the blog comes from a lyric written by Tracy Grammer, from her song "The Verdant Mile."

Brent Floren at Dunn Bros.
Right now I'm sitting at Dunn Bros. on Grand, near the Macalaster College campus, sampling a lovely mini-pumpkin pie and hearing an even tastier set by Brent Floren. Although I see him periodically in my songwriting group, I've never really gotten to hear him play a show. He has a nice easy style on stage and his mellow Lyle Lovett-like vocals blend beautifully with his groovin' electric guitar and foot-tapping accompaniment. Highlights of his first set included the lullaby "Louisa" and "Work."
I am a friend of Brent's and am designing a new website for Brent, where you can listen to all his music for free.
