Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet form Trout Fishing in America in 1979. When entry in a music contest required them to have a name for their act, they chose Trout Fishing in America as an homage to Keith's love of writer Richard Brautigan and Ezra's love of fishing.

Trout's genre-defying musical style and unique stage presence did not lend itself to standard marketing strategies so their following developed through word-of-mouth recommendations from fans and club owners. No one could explain what kind of music Trout played, but would also tell you that theirs was not a show to miss! After attending a show you'll know exactly what you've witness: two guys who still love what they do and are excited to share it with you.

Trout Fishing in America have put over 300,000 miles on their latest touring van and they're about to rack up more! ( The previous two vehicles, Stretch (a Chevy cargo van) and the infamous red truck, Robert RedFord, each retired with over half a million miles.) What does this mean? These guys like to hit the road and they're coming to Monroe!
