Red House Live from Landmark Center - Tracy Grammer Concert
Landmark Center and Red House Records' popular concert series "Red House Live"returns for a second year at the F.K. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium at St. Paul's historic Landmark Center. Hosted by various local radio personalities, these concerts will begin at 8 pm and will be preceded by a cocktail hour at 7 pm, giving audiences an opportunity to enjoy free food Ginkgo and mingle with both DJ and musicians. Tickets are $15 in advance and includes admission to the cocktail hour.
Tracy Grammer saw Dave Carter perform three songs at a songwriter's showcase shortly after she moved to Portland, Oregon in 1996. They met on their way out the door and by late 1997 had entered into a mutual "marriage in music."Their unique strengths and diverse backgrounds came together in powerful synergy. Carter conjured mystical, romantic, true fictions while Grammer complemented his expert guitar, banjo, and voice with beautifully intoned violin, mandolin and emotionally potent vocals. In 2002, in a room at the duo's favorite hotel in Hadley, Massachusetts, Carter returned from a run complaining of chest pains. Soon thereafter, he died in Grammer's arms from a massive heart attack, just three weeks shy of his 50th birthday. Grammer continues to perform Carter's songs and has produced three solo and two duo albums since Carter's death, including the critically acclaimed tribute CD Flower of Avalon. In 2012 Red House Records releases Little Blue Egg, an album of previously-unreleased Dave & Tracy recordings. The CD includes eleven tracks, with five additional songs to be released throughout 2012 as part of a year-long celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of Carter's death and what would have been his 60th birthday. Grammer says, "I'll keep on singing, and I'll keep on telling my story, however that evolves."
All tickets are general admission. If the concerts sell out, seat assignments will be given at will-call when you check in. If you have any special seating needs or requests, please call 651-292-3063 and we will do our best to accommodate them.
