GrimmusiK Records

We Brothers Grimm have finally settled into our new home, even closer to Lake Mendota than before! With the lake view and laid back, spacious vibe ~ it has been deemed The Beach House! For our intermittent two weeks of homelessness, we were kindly put up at friends Sarah & Eric Lang’s house. AJ works with both of the Langs at Bradbury’s coffee shop. Not only are they excellent hosts, but Sarah is an exceptional photographer! Take time out of your busy day and check out Lovely Ember photography. (click on these photos to see more of her guqin pics!)

For all of you who couldn’t make it to the 8/1 Lovely Socialite show on Lake Mendota Terrace ~ here is a clip of Shakuhachi master Brian Ritchie jamming out on Saucy Pat’s new tune Humus!! What a blast, glad to have this one on video (thanks again Silas!)

Silas “Be” Ritchie (Brian’s son) visual artist, tea lover, and musician has recently released the second installment of his Tea Life series (feat. Brian Tairaku) ~ check it out ya’ll

8/9 at Dobra was an evening of very special musical guests. We were proud to welcome Thollem McDonas to the tearoom, he certainly helped us reach some new improvisational heights! My dear composer/performer friend/former ensemble mate Zane Merritt was able to join us on classical guitar! The classical guitar (Zane) & flamenco guitar (AJ) duo in the first hour was a highlight for everyone! After two hours of mixing and matching with only two or three musicians playing at a time, we invited everyone up – including shakuhachi master Brian Tairaku Ritchie ~ forming a Tea-Allstars Septet. Oh, and did we mention it was Watercourse Quartet’s last Madison performance (…till sometime this winter…. when we release our full length album!!)
