CORNMEAL

On the cusp of their 25th Anniversary Cornmeal returns to the stage after almost 12 years with their long time bandmate and jamgrass powerhouse fiddler, the venerable Allie Kral. Assembling a lineup of some of Chicago most venerable musicians, original members Chris Gangi and Wavy Dave Burlingame's late stage reinvention is breathing new life into the band and its performances. A nationally recognized live music institution, Cornmeal is heavily influenced by American roots and folk music and seamlessly 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 the past, Cornmeal continues to forge a path all their own, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. With a growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of bluegrass and live performance.
