Chris Travis of Two Fields Over will be joined by pianist Bob Long (Bob Long Septet, Last Word Quintet), Adela Skowronski (Adela’s Cello), and Eileen Anthony (The Paulina Project) to play songs from Grains of Verse, the acclaimed 2024 “indie folk/americana vibe” debut album from Two Fields Over, along with new recordings.
Orca Sound describes the work as “layered harmonies and vividly thoughtful lyrics [that] infuse the album with a distinct voice and profound emotional depth, showing a rare sincerity and artistry that many seasoned musicians aspire to. Together, Greenberg and Travis have created an album that lingers, inviting you to get lost in its beautiful, reflective spaces.” Themes of family, love, struggle, mental health, beauty and darkness, with an environmental angst and sensitivity, while acknowledging the very limits of lyrical expression. Has drawn comparison to Kings of Convenience, Nick Drake, Great Lake Swimmers, Iron and Wine, and the Avett Brothers.
Ticket sales will benefit the Chicago Food Depository and Connections for the Homeless.
