Songs & Stories of the American West: Kerry Grombacher in Concert

UNDATED – Troubadour Kerry Grombacher is riding into Delano and St. Cloud this month for concerts of contemporary western music.

Grombacher’s songs draw vivid portraits and tell fascinating stories that are set in the Western landscape, where he’s worked and traveled with cowboys and Indians, ranchers and rodeo riders, outfitters and chuckwagon cooks, and lawmen and lawbreakers.

“It’s a real treat to bring my western music to St. Cloud and Delano,” Grombacher says. “These concerts will be my first performances in Minnesota, and I’m really looking forward to meeting folks and getting out and seeing the region.”

Grombacher plays guitar and mandolin and writes contemporary western songs. His songs have been featured on the ABC-TV adventure travel show, “Born to Explore,” and on the Putumayo World Records CD “Cowboy Playground,” which was released in over 60 countries. He has released five albums of original songs, and his songs have been recorded by a list of artists that includes Jim Jones, Belinda Gail, The Texas Trailhands, Gary Prescott, and Trails & Rails.

Nalini Jones, of the Newport Folk Festival, says “Kerry Grombacher is the best kind of songwriter, with lyrics that take us on journeys to places we’ve never visited before and melodies so pure and true that they seem to rise up from the plains.”

Grombacher will appear at the Delano Senior Center, 234 2nd Street North, on Wednesday, October 17, at 11 a.m. He’ll perform at the St. Cloud Library the following evening, Thursday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m.

 Both performances are free and open to all.
