April and Monroe Grisman Music Project
April and Monroe Grisman are both lifelong residents and well-known musicians in the Marin County & Bay Area music scene performing and recording both locally and nationally with numerous bands and artists as well as writing their own music.
They have been a couple for over 35 years, married for 28 of those and proud parents of adult boy/girl twins.
However, it was not until the beginning of the pandemic during the periods of self-isolation in their home that they began to write songs together for the first time.
The following two-year period was very productive in this regard, as they continued to write and develop some 18+ songs that expressed a myriad of feelings they both felt about current events and the people and things they cared about. Their songs are influenced by a broad range of influences: Classic Roots Rock, Country-folk, R&B, Reggae and Soul.
Their live performances will offer some of these songs along with a few fun selected covers. April and Monroe will be accompanied by dear friends and talented local musicians in their own right lending their talents to bring these songs to life.
Little Gems
Individually they are eclectic, having played everything from Early Music to Trip Hop, Samba to Balkan Folk, Country to Indie Pop. Members of Little Gems have performed for the Pope in the Sistine Chapel, sang topless at the Fillmore, appeared on television from Los Angeles to Serbia, and played with an incredibly wide array of artists, ranging from Kronos Quartet to Phil Lesh to Chali 2na. Collectively, they have produced or performed on over 100 albums, played thousands of shows across five continents, and sung in over 20 languages.
By joining forces, Little Gems has created diverse and emotionally moving original songs, featuring luscious three-part harmonies, layered acoustic and electric guitars, and a subtle yet driving rhythm section. Their debut album was released on October 16th, 2022.
