Harmonic Dirt

**Our second album, “Live At the Ridge” won the SAMMY Award for 2020’s Americana album of the year!** Harmonic Dirt is a collaboration of multi-instrumentalist Mike Gridley and lyricist Susan Coleman based in Central New York. They are joined by percussionist Taylor Bucci. The husband and wife duo of Coleman and Gridley are prolific songwriters, developing stories that draw from the rich heritage of American folk and roots music, but also weaving themes from literature, historical events, and personal observations into the mix. Their debut album “Anthracite” contains twelve songs which showcase the breadth of their musical and lyrical work, while providing familiar reference points to sixties folk-rock, Harvest-era Neil Young, as well as alt-country in the vein of Son Volt or early Wilco. Guest musicians on the album include bassists Blake Propst (Boots & Shorts, Ruddy Well) and Joey Arcuri (Driftwood) and guitarist Bob Gaus (Two Hour Delay) and Scott Wilson on dobro.
