Becky Schlegel, Anthony Ihrig, Eric Christopher and Kevin Rowe present… CLOVER AND THE BEE!
Clover and the Bee
Join Eric Christopher, Anthony Ihrig and Becky Schlegel for the launch of their new project, Clover and the Bee.
Clover and the Bee began as a semi-regular song swap among three friends, songwriters and musical co-conspirators at Christopher’s house in the West 7th neighborhood of Saint Paul.
The three dug into their songwriting back catalogs to show off songs that were either not bluegrass enough (in the case of Ihrig and Christopher’s band The High 48s), not country enough (in the case of Becky Schlegel’s solo project) or just plan too weird or idiosyncratic for any other project.
It was at this open house for misfit songs that the three got the idea to start a new band, one whose sound showed Christopher, Ihrig and Schlegel’s country and bluegrass roots but wasn’t bound by tradition.
With the addition of bassist Kevin Rowe (Buffalo GospelGalaxy, Space Burritos), who had recently moved to the Twin Cities from Madison, WI, Clover the Bee was born.
Named after a line from Emily Dickinson’s poem “To Make a Prairie,” Clover and the Bee play American roots music that’s as free and expansive as the wide-open flatlands of the Upper Midwest.
To Make a Prairie
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
Emily Dickinson
