Double-bill concert features Scott Cossu & Baby Gramps

Two Northwest-based musicians team up for a double bill evening of eclectic music at the Blue Heron Saturday, May 18, 7:30 pm.
 

Baby Gramps, who has been called the Salvador Dali of Folk Music, plays acoustic antique resonator National Steel guitars, and sings his own arrangements of rags, jazz, & blues songs from the 20’s & 30’s, folksongs and many originals with wordplay, humor and throat singing. Pianist Scott Cossu performs everything from new age and boogie woogie to straight-ahead jazz and ethnic influenced blues.
 

"We actually played the Blue Heron together many years ago and it was a very good turnout. We each do our set and then play a few pieces together. It’s a very comfortable billing. We’ve done shows together over the years," says Cossu.
 

Cossu will also be joined by musical partner John Croarkin on flutes, harmonica and saxophone.
 

Both artists will have CDs available at the concert.

Tickets, $12/$15, are available at VAA, Heron’s Nest,
