Hey Mom, I Got an Iguana Grant from Passim (and so Did My Friends)!!! Columns by Brian Carroll - December 22, 2014January 21, 20160 Well its that time of year, the time of giving and being thankful. It’s not secret that I hold a very special place in my heart for Club Passim and all the folks involved in bringing you great music at a wonderful listening room over there. Even before we received an Iguana Grant last year, this was a place that was special and different in my eyes. Well, the announcement is out and the 2014 Grant Recipients are… 2014 Iguana Music Fund grant recipients: Anne Mironchik Carrie Ferguson and Piti Theatre Co. Charlie Rose Dare To Be Square: A Camberville BAR-n Dance Dietrich Strause Electric Andyland Ellie Buckland and Isa Burke Eva Walsh Frank Ferrel Jenna Moynihan Julie Rhodes Massachusetts Walking Tour The Meeting House Tour Molly Pinto Madigan The Old Guitar Peter Winne (Community Square Dance in Portland, ME) Realta Gaela (Trad Youth Exchange) Red Line Roots (‘Locals Covering Locals, Vol 2’) Sarah Gardner Session Americana The Suitcase Junket Twisted Pine Zoë Darrow I cannot wait to see what all of these amazing folks do with their respective grants. I know that The Old Guitar, Dare to be Square and The Meeting House Tour already have incredible community building ideas in the mix and I can see that a whole slew of amazing personal projects are going to come to fruition as a result of this. Such a special thing! Oh yeah…not that you had a question, but our grant will be funding Volume 3 of Locals Covering Locals. Now…onto booking the artists for this thing.
