Cornmeal
While keeping in the tradition of musical acts such as Old and in the Way, John Hartford, and New Grass Revival, Cornmeal has continued to push the boundaries of traditional bluegrass music for more than five years. Known for their solid musicianship, rich vocal harmonies, Cornmeal has proven to be a moving presence in the world of Americana roots music.
With the release of their debut album 'In The Kitchen'(2001 Livin' Live records), Cornmeal secured its place as one of the top bands in its genre. On their second effort, 'Tales from Magic Stone Mountain'(2003 Livin' Live records), the band pushes its style further with a blend of 15 original songs recorded at the famed Rax Trax studio in Chicago. This self-produced album is proof again that Cornmeal has captured the heart of Americana with an honest, thoughtful and inspiring performance.
Heavily influenced by American roots and folk music, Cornmeal began as a side project over five years ago only to see it become a true Chicago institution. Performing tirelessly, Cornmeal prides itself on the energy it puts forth each night, creating a powerful, unrivaled live performance experience.
