Quotes
“As soon as we heard them, we knew we had to host them. This tight-knit trio will blow you away with their mesmerizing harmonies.” Lindsey Lee, Rouse House, Houston TX
“Karl, Elaine and Lawrence are among our very favorite performers and are among the nicest people in the already-friendly folk community. Every BiG WiDE GRiN concert is filled with magical moments-- terrific guitar licks, giant belly laughs, and vocals that even after all these years still make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. After a dozen shows, I began to worry that I might not feel that tingle; but they have yet to disappoint.”
Scott Moore, Moore Music (In the House)
President Focus Music, Rockville, MD
“BiG WiDE GRiN” should just change their name to “Book Those Guys” because that’s what I tell everybody who asks about them. Outstanding musicians, killer harmonies, amazing crowd appeal and the three nicest people on the planet. Who wouldn’t want to “Book Those Guys?”
Glen Pilant, Cobblestone Creek Concerts, Norman OK
