Please note: in case of rain, this performance will be held in the Historic Theater with socially-distanced seating.

Blend together Americana elements of music, stir in some Celtic & Gypsy spices, fold in a dollop of Zydeco, add a pinch of Soul, whip in some acoustic Blues, and you’ve created the unique sounds that Anne Harris, Marcella Simien, and Guy Davis cook up.

Gumbo, Grits & Gravy is a “gathering,” featuring three brilliant musicians with culturally and musically diverse backgrounds. As the name implies, Gumbo, Grits & Gravy is grounded in the roots of a hearty, home-cooked meal, the foundation of family and tradition, which is more often guided by maternal inspirations. Through this understanding, it is a celebration of a musical and cultural diversity that this trio hopes to document and spread to the world.

The genesis of this project comes from a tour under the same banner headline that briefly toured many years ago. It featured Guy Davis, Laurie Lewis, and Christina Balfa, assembled by former agent/manager Cash Edwards. The inspiration for it today comes from ensemble groups like the Carolina Chocolate Drops, only with a little more contemporary flair. So fill your soul with flavors of this musical stew!
