Baby Gramps, Robert Armstrong & Fast Rattler
Fri, Nov 15
|Wild Eye Pub
When he performs, it’s part guitar virtuosity and part clowning around, and he often works with charities. With the heart of a genius, no musical training, his own vocabulary and a voice like Popeye the Sailor, he’s a cross between an early 1900s hobo and a “Sesame Street” character.

About the event
"Baby Gramps is an amazing amalgamation of everything that anybody's ever heard..." —Glenn Howard, American Musical Heritage Foundation
Baby Gramps is an energetic, humorously entertaining performer with an endless repertoire. He plays a National Steel guitar, and sings his own unique arrangements of rags, jazz, & blues from the 19020s & 30s, and many originals with wordplay, humor, and throat singing.
Baby Gramps toured Australia, England, and Ireland as part of the Rogues Gallery CD Concert Tour with Tim Robbins, Marianne Faithful, Lou Reed, Suzanne Vega, and many other internationally known performers. The Rogues Gallery CD, produced by Johnny Depp, landed Baby Gramps on the David Letterman Show accompanied by Tony Garnier, Bob Dylan’s bandleader and bass player.
Cartoonist, fine art painter and multi-instrumentalist Robert Armstrong will join Baby Gramps on stage. Armstrong is a founding member of the seminal old-time band the R. Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders.…
