The Grit Pixies have been added to the entertainment slate at The Great Southeastern Hiking Festival planned for May 3-6, 2007 at the Montreat Conference Center in Montreat, NC. The Grit Pixies are two very talented young women, Eliza Lynn and Jill Fromewick. Together they create magic in the form of blues and roots music.
I first learned about Eliza Lynn at the 2006 Hot Springs Trailfest. She played solo at that event, and blew me away! I immediately picked up her CD "Frisky or Fair" and set about to book her for the festival. Shortly thereafter, Mountain Xpress named Eliza the Best Singer/Songwriter of 2006.
Now, Eliza has teamed up with Jill to create a unique sound that reminds me a bit of stripped down Po' Girl. Jill plays a great harp as well as the washboard, and Eliza's voice and guitar playing is simply fantastic. To checkout their sound, take a moment and pay a visit to the Grit Pixies' MySpace website where you can stream a couple of their songs. Then make your plans to attend The Great Southeastern Hiking Festival, where the Grit Pixies will play for us on Thursday night May 3. It's going to be great!
Be sure to come back in a few days for another exciting announcement regarding entertainment at the festival!
