Fishken & Groves' Home Page

Fishken & Groves have a couple of things going for them...

...tasteful song selections, beautiful, old, folk standards, forgotten traditional tunes with great melodies and lyrics, and contemporary folk tunes that you haven't heard in a long time, new tunes from today's gifted songwriters.

...song arrangements, and harmonies that are charming with an edge. Solo parts range from Fishken's rough-hewn cowboy tunes to Groves's startlingly lush renditions of contemporary tunes. Together, they are an uncommon combination.

...a shared joy for making music. Audiences are either closed-eyed, rocking to and fro, or grinning from ear to ear (or dashing to the product table to purchase the new CD). No youngsters, Fishken & Groves know how to connect to their audience. It's a shared experience, entertaining and fun with seriously good music.

...a zany stage presence that's...well, sort of a gender-reversed Burns and Allen. Welcome to the Fishken & Groves living room.

In a folk music era dominated by singer-songwriters, Fishken & Groves take you back to a simpler time and a more peaceful place. Remember?

The duet has played just about every important folk stage in the Boston area, including Club Passim, opening for legendary Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Feature performances include the Acton Jazz Cafe (the former 2.5 year home of their highly acclaimed open mike night), Geoff Bartley's famous Cantab open mike in Cambridge, the Colonial Inn, the Uncommon Coffee House in Wilmington, MA, the Bull Run Restaurant, Sit 'n' Bull, the Vanilla Bean Cafe in Pomfret, CT, Summerfest New Bedford Folk Festival.

Praises from the following artists and friends:

"Had Fishken 'n Groves been out on the prairie, singin' their songs t' them cowpokes, heck, the West might not 'a been so danged WILD! And, what did you put in that Going To The West CD? I can't stop listening."....Mark Brine

"Fishken & Groves are great on stage, completely at home, and hold the audience's attention effortlessly. The music is solid. I like their voices together. I like the western themes, the cowboy songs, images of the far west, simpler times, basic honesty. What refreshing terrain"...Geoff Bartley.
