Guggenheim Grotto with Carsie Blanton
The Guggenheim Grotto wraps up their 4 show January Residency tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27 at 8pm. This is a FREE SHOW!

From Dublin Ireland, the music of The Guggenheim Grotto blends classical instruments such as the viola, the glockenspiel, the Wurlitzer and the Hammond organ with the more conventional guitar, bass and piano for a haunting and melodic sound that often evokes tragic love stories.

Originally a duo between Kevin May and Mick Lynch, producer/percussionist Shane Power joined in on their debut album ‘…Waltzing Alone,’ which was released in Ireland in 2005 and in the US in 2006. Shane went his separate ways before the release of the new album ‘Happy The Man.’

The critics say:

“In a musical tavern of light beers and sugary cordials, this stuff is pure stout” – Boston Globe
“With debts to both Radiohead and The Beatles, this is modern, intelligent, lyrically potent pop” – Boston Herald
“Waltzing Alone is worth revisiting again and again” – Play Philly
“…one of the past year’s most promising new acts” – Washington Post
“…emotionally rich songs performed without irony or jaded modernism” – Nashville Scene
“…a spine tingling effect that I haven’t experienced since I heard Simon & Garfunkel’s Bookends album for the first time” – Irish Voice
“…what the first Crosby, Stills & Nash album might have sounded like if all its members were from Dublin.” – San Diego Union Tribune
“…exquisite folk pop” – Charleston Daily Mail
