Drawing on all these styles, Graminy composes and arranges all its music and calls it Class-Grass.Graminy’smusic focuses on themes of ecology and place. The name derives from the botanical name for the grass family,Gramineae, as their music draws on the entire family of grassroots tradi- tions, from all places and ecologies.Their new CD, “Germinations: A Blue- grass Symphony in D†has been nominated for awards in several categories at this year’s MAMA Awards (Madison Area Music Awards).www.graminy.netDownload Standard Podcasts
