SUMMARY:Bridget Gossett with Lee Kram
DESCRIPTION:🎶 Join us for a mesmerizing evening of live music at the Meadowlark SpeakEasy on November 4th at 7 PM\, where the stage will come alive with the incredible talents of Bridget Gossett and Lee Gram! \n🌟 Bridget Gossett\, a spellbinding singer-songwriter with roots in the vibrant city of New Orleans and a heart firmly anchored in the enchanting landscapes of Western North Carolina\, has been crafting her musical journey for two decades in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Don’t miss this harmonious symphony of life experiences and musical prowess. \n🥁 On the same stage\, we have the dynamic Lee Gram\, whose journey began in St. Louis with a rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack. His roots are grounded in the golden era of ’70s rock\, and he was fortunate to grow up in a household where the sounds of ’60s beach music and Motown classics were the backdrop to his upbringing. \n🥁 Lee’s musical journey led him to seize the drum kit in his first garage band\, a decision made easier by one of his brothers having a drum set in the basement. From there\, he immersed himself in the era’s music\, meticulously learning to replicate the intricate drum parts. Years of lessons\, countless bands\, and numerous recordings later\, Lee mastered the art of helping original artists bring their music to life\, while staying true to their creative vision. \n🎶 Fast forward to his journey in North Carolina\, where he discovered a community of kindred spirits and played vibrant cover music while sharing the stage with national artists\, all thanks to being in the right place at the right time. Lee is known for his talent in listening and responding to the needs of fellow artists\, making collaborations effortless\, and ensuring that every detail is meticulously managed. \n🎤 Bridget and Lee\, fast friends and musical collaborators promise an unforgettable night of original music and harmonious creativity.
