Big Wide Grin

This bi-coastal trio of Elaine Dempsey, Lawrence Lambert & Karl Werne, from California and Virginia, bring diverse backgrounds of experience, music and theater together to form a rich, soulful blend of character and deep harmony. It will move you to an understanding of their name: BIG WIDE GRIN. They are constantly on the move - whether at festivals, concert series, shows, or select house concerts and have shared the stage, collectively, with such artists as Janis Ian, Harriett Schock, Lowen & Navarro, Richie Havens, Bruce Hornsby and toured with legendary blues man Keb' Mo'.

"Big Wide Grin ...Good singing. Great songs and the hardest working band in folk music." Keb' Mo'

"Take three supremely talented performers, throw in a generous portion of intelligent and heartfelt songwriting, add a dash of wit and charm, then sit yourself down to a spellbinding evening of top-notch entertainment with Big Wide Grin ...guaranteed to put one on every face." BJ Leiderman, theme composer, National Public Radio.

"Big Wide Grin is well named. Their groove and their vibe will put a big smile on your face and in your heart." Freebo
