Grit Laskin is a talented musician, a published author, and an award-winning luthier with guitar orders stretching into the year 2002. A longtime member of the infamous Friends of Fiddler's Green, he is also known for his incisive, witty, and provocative songs. With Earthly Concerns, Grit once again delivers an album of profound insight and depth. Earthly Concerns is an album of songs and tunes concerned with human folly and endeavors. From the deeply moving title song to The Two Centuries, an epic historical debate, to Hi Sal, Have You Checked Your Email, an hilarious commentary on today's technologies, to Resister, a modern protest song, Grit explores the contemporary and topical issues of our time. A sprinkling of original dance tunes (Flipside, Driving to the Woods/Sorry I'm Late) round out the album. The arrangements range from solo voice and one instrument to full band with percussion, and several of the songs feature a full string quartet.
