Northwest
indie-grass quintet True North combines traditional bluegrass
instrumentation with soulful vocals, fat harmonies and
folk-edged songwriting for a decidedly modern acoustic
sound. True North's tight and careful arrangements can be
alternately big and wild, tender and deliberate.
Original songs written by Dan Wetzel and Kristen Grainger give the band a fresh, modern bent, but you can also count on True North to perform bluegrass standards with originality and style, and give classic rock songs like “Shame on the Moon" and Led Zeppelin's "Fool in the Rain" a beautiful new identity. True North's members are seasoned bluegrass pickers with a great deal of band and studio experiences between them. The band’s instrumental skills are exceptional; its vocals, both lead and harmony, are outstanding. Although True North’s individual players are champion pickers and award-winning songwriters who are well-known in Oregon’s bluegrass scene, it is the synergy created by the combination of these five performers that makes the sound of True North unparalleled. Their high energy and abundant skill deliver unforgettable performances, with heart-pounding instrumentals and plenty of three-part harmonies that will raise the hairs on the back of your neck. |
