GRANITE FALLS, Minn. — Public Television’s Grassland Jam will feature the band Singleton Street from Delano on Saturday, May 4 at 7 p.m. The program will be available for online viewing immediately after the broadcast on www.pioneer.org/grasslandjam. The broadcast will be repeated on Monday, May 6 at noon. The performances were recorded at the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old Time Music Association Festival held in Richmond in August 2018.

Singleton Street combines bluegrass, gospel and Americana music and features Sherri Leyda on vocals, guitar, pennywhistle and bodhrán; Chuck Leyda on mandolin, guitar and vocals; and Jimmy Newkirk on bass and vocals.

Singleton Street has performed for more than a decade entertaining audiences at bluegrass festivals, Irish festivals, churches and Renaissance fairs in a five state region. The band is known for its tight harmonies, energetic arrangements and a fun and friendly stage presence.

Grassland Jamis produced and edited by Matthew Johnson. The program is made possible by contributions from the voters of Minnesota through a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
