biographical info
Grassmarket is a trio of singer/songwriters creating lush and nuanced
folk-pop. Their music combines warm, honest songwriting, layered pop
arrangements, and stellar old-time instrumentation. Banjo, mandolin,
fiddle, guitar, harmonica, and upright bass support the warmth of their
three-part harmonies.
Their first full length effort “Port City”, is a collection of songs
that captures the band intimately exploring their love of songwriting.
Port City will be released in October 2009.
Grassmarket's first release “Waiting”, a seven song EP, was nominated for a 2008 Nova Scotia Music Award.
"Grassmarket, while definitely influenced by artists long since
gone, writes songs that are purely their own. The music may pay homage
to the days past, but the lyrics are portals into their lives." - Hero Hill
