Formed 10 years ago in Chicago, Cornmeal has grown from humble beginnings into a nationally recognized live music institution. 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. While steeped in the tradition of John Hartford and New Grass Revival, Cornmeal continues to forge their own path, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. The release of their latest album, “Live in Chicago, IL Vol. I” showcases bluegrass as a springboard for improvisational works that touch on country, rock, psychedelic, funk and disco. With a growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of the bluegrass sound and live performance.
