Martin Grosswendt and
Susanne Salem-Schatz make beautiful music together, with soul that comes from
deep within. Together, they explore the
highways and byways of American traditional and vernacular music, from pre-war
blues, old time and jug band to jazz standards, honky tonk and contemporary
gems. Their fans revel in the powerful
mix of genres the duo embraces in their performances, crossing time and space
with grace and a touch of wry humor.
Martin is a
multi-instrumentalist, internationally known as an inspirational interpreter of
pre-war blues and other southern roots music. His extraordinary instrumental skills are
matched by his powerful, soulful vocals. Musical partner Susanne is a remarkable
singer, adding rock solid rhythm, a keen ear for harmony, and dynamic interpretations
of songs old and new. Together they
demonstrate the exponential power of two. Martin and Susanne’s harmonies work magic on
songs both sweet and slow and rough and rowdy, with a vocal alchemy that
touches listeners deeply. These
musicians were meant to sing together. Martin and Susanne have created
strong connections with audiences since they began touring together in 2014. They recently released their first CD, Old
Songs, New Hats. http://www.martingrosswendt.We hope you will be there to welcome these two outstanding musicians to their first Jenkins' House Concert. For details and reservations please contact Sandy at Sandilion49@gmail.com.
