In two and a half decades of writing, recording, and performing together, Trout Fishing in America -- also known as Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet -- have never ceased to delight audiences with their spirited, inventive music and their wonderful sense of fun. Blues, pop, reggae, and folk go into the mix, but what comes out, from the sublime to the utterly ridiculous, is absolutely unique.

The duo, taking its name from Richard Brautigan's novel, has been at it since 1979, playing and singing on albums such as Truth Is Stranger Than Fishin' and most recently, Merry Fishes to All, winning the hearts of kids and adults alike, as well as three National Indie Awards, multiple Parents Choice Gold and American Library Awards, and two Grammy nominations. Bassist Keith and guitarist Ezra sing impeccably perfect harmonies, are masters of their instruments, and possess the ability to take a song to its ultimate logical absurdity without ever missing a beat. Bring the entire family: you're sure to find yourselves implicated in traditional music's longest- running conspiracy of fun!
