Grassmarket is a trio of singer/songwriters creating lush and nuanced folk-pop. Their music combines warm, honest songwriting, layered pop arrangements, and stellar old-time instrumentation. Banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, harmonica, and upright bass support the warmth of their three-part harmonies.
Their first full length effort “Port City”, is a collection of songs that captures the band intimately exploring their love of songwriting. Port City will be released in October 2009.
Grassmarket's first release “Waiting”, a seven song EP, was nominated for a 2008 Nova Scotia Music Award.
"Grassmarket, while definitely influenced by artists long since gone, writes songs that are purely their own. The music may pay homage to the days past, but the lyrics are portals into their lives." - Hero Hill

hi there! thankyou for adding me as a friend. just emigrated to NS and found you on myspace. i love your sound!! will have to see you live sometime! cheers, Grant
Hey Penelope, (Dan & Scott too, haha) hope you guys had fun @ Folk Harbour...sorry I couldn't be there for it, but I promise to catch you @ The Mersey.
Hi there Grassmarket first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
