Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

To Have and to Hold

When Tracy Grammer and Dave Carter first partnered up in the late ’90s, they forged what the former dubbed a “marriage in music.” Though Carter’s untimely 2002 death physically parted them, extensive musical archives have allowed Grammer to continue their collaborations on what Acoustic Guitar magazine calls “a cohesive mix of postmodern folk, spirited country rambles and poignant duets.” Due out on Valentine’s Day, Little Blue Egg is the third partly posthumous album release from the celebrated folkies. With solo recordings also under her belt — including 2005’s acclaimed Flowers of Avalon — Grammer offers a variety of these works, plus thoughtful lyricism and rich vocals, as part of the MountainFolk concert series.
