Musician and storyteller Dave Martin takes us on a good-natured romp through the Midwest which explores the culture and storied history of the region, performing both traditional and original songs while infusing quixotic anecdotes about his family’s place in America’s heartland.
Beginning at seed-time on the Fertile Crescent, (where history began, after all), Martin takes us on a clockwise trip around the Great Lakes via a travelogue that details endearingly peculiar facts; listeners will get a lesson in agricultural industrialization and a tender ode to his grandfather, an Iowa farmer.
