Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry @ The Vanilla Bean Cafe

The Tracy Grammer & Jim Henry duo is synonymous with impeccable musicianship, perfect harmonies, a diverse repertoire, and the kind of musical chemistry and humorous banter you’d expect from musicians who have been touring and playing around the world together for almost 20 years. A typical show includes a stage full of instruments (acoustic/electric guitars, violin, mandolin, Dobro) and a set list full of original songs, instrumentals, creatively reimagined covers, and highlights from Dave Carter’s award-winning catalog. Both reside in the Pioneer Valley — Henry lives in Shutesbury, where he also operates Rubytone Studios, and Grammer resides in Greenfield with her cat, Pickles. Called “one of the finest pure musicians in folkdom” by the Boston Globe, Tracy Grammer is a writer, actor, musician, and singer known in folk circles for her soothing vocals, spirited fiddle, entertaining stories, and punchy, intricate guitar work. Jim Henry is an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, and one of folk and Americana’s go-to multi-instrumentalists, just off the road from a three-year stint with Grammy-winner Mary Chapin Carpenter.
