Album release show!
Grant Flick is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator, and collaborative artist currently based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While his main instrument is violin he typically inhabits spaces where it is not uncommon to find him playing nyckelharpa, tenor guitar, mandolin, or just about any other fifth-tuned stringed instrument. He lives fluidally between idioms/genres with a focus on original instrumental music primarily influenced by American improvisational idioms (bluegrass, jazz, new acoustic music, etc.), the music of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli, and chamber music both new and old. His most recent album “The Great Door” showcases his writing style in a quartet featuring entirely original material.
Grant believes that instrumental music is a medium of thought that has the power to express ideas that words cannot define. He loves to collaborate with others in this artform. You can hear him play with projects such as his duo with outstanding bassist Jacob Warren creatively titled “Warren & Flick,” his unique original quartet “Westbound Situation,” or transatlantic inspired fiddling duos with Hannah O’Brien. The work of these projects is documented on albums such as “Cormorant” (Warren & Flick), “Accord” (Westbound Situation), and “Unmatched Pair” (Hannah O’Brien & Grant Flick).
This performance will be a celebration of Grant’s latest release "The Great Door".
