More than a debut album, To Dream A Forest...Deeply is an allegoric introspection. A searing and thoughtful journey through a unique musical landscape painted skillfully  with odd meter, wistful lyrics and playfully adventurous melody.

In a world where we are urged to limit descriptions to hashtags and sound bites it is tempting to describe Grace Morrison as simply: singer-songwriter. But she is so much more. She is pop; she is folk; she is roots; she is country. Hear her music and you’ll be hooked. See her live and you’ll be left wanting more. It has been said that her storytelling “can make you cry; it can make you sing.” 

Hailing from Downtown New Bedford the Dutchmen are the area's premier jam band. Featuring a rotating cast of instrumentalists from sax, trombone, trumpet and fiddle the Dutchmen know how to groove!
