Order now! The Verdant Mile EP $10 + $2.50 s/h U.S.Customers International Customers

This acoustic project was recorded live in an Oregon studio over two days in early June. The exception is the fiddle medley, which was arranged over the phone and recorded on opposite coasts. These songs are postcards from various points along the Verdant Mile, a mythical field I walk when I need to reconcile with the rivers I cannot turn, the birds that won't come, and my reluctant angels...

Praise for The Verdant Mile

“I've listened to Tracy's THE VERDANT MILE over and over and over again. This new collection of songs is simply stunning. I just can't wait till her next CD.”
- BOB FELDMAN, PRESIDENT, RED HOUSE RECORDS

“Infused with catchy, changing rhythms, take [the title] cut as a marveloussign of things to come as Grammer moves along the path of penning and performing more of her own compositions.”
- CELTIC & FOLK MUSIC CD REVIEWS

“Tracy's song [The Verdant Mile] reminds me of how Boulder To
Birmingham was such a significant presence on Emmylou Harris’ PIECES OF THE SKY...it stands as a testament to this woman's courage, considering the extent of her loss, that she's willing to place this recent part of her life journey full-square in
the public domain.”
