Formed over 10 years ago, Cornmeal has grown from humble beginnings into a nationally recognized live music institution. 10 years together is no simple task these days, especially when the last five have seen the band spending over half the year on the road. Heavily influenced by American roots and folk music, Cornmeal blends lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies into an unrivaled live performance that continues to expand upon the five-piece acoustic-electric groups’ vast musical repertoire.

From last.fm:

The Ragbirds began with a love for world music and a desire to weave these distant sounds into more familiar genres. Led by Erin Zindle (songwriter, violinist/multi-instrumentalist and vocalist) together with her husband, percussionist Randall Moore, they have created a sound that is hard to define. They call it “infectious global groove”. The Ann Arbor, MI couple actually started recording The Ragbirds debut CD, Yes Nearby before the band was formed. They searched for musicians who shared the vision of creating honest, creative global music with pop appeal. Read more about The Ragbirds on Last.fm.
