Elm Grove
Liner notes
A midwest indie folk song with vocals about Elm Grove, Wisconsin. The lyrics stroll down Watertown Plank Road and Juneau Boulevard, reflecting on the old white oak timbers that built the town. The song captures the community gathering for Tunes on Tuesdays at the Village Park, surrounded by the hilly terrain and deep roots of the old elm trees.
