Saturday, February 13, 2010 THE NEW NORTH STRING BAND
CELEBRATE VALENTINES DAY!!
You might wonder what Eau Claire has that would be the envy of Nashville. After all, Music City has, in the lyrics of John Sebastian, “thirteen hundred and fifty two guitar pickers” and no shortage of young, eager talent. What Nashville doesn’t have is the New North String Band. With the release of their self-titled first CD, the NNSB has shown that even Wisconsin can produce music that is as finger-pickin’ good as any coming from below the Mason-Dixon line.
Most bluegrass fans expect to hear a nod to the past (e.g. a Bill Monroe fiddle tune or a Stanley Brothers mournful lament) by which they can assess the credibility of a band that claims to play bluegrass. On this, the New North String Band does not disappoint. There are 10 original tunes and only two traditional numbers included on the disc (one of which is Monroe’s gospel gem Wicked Path of Sin). When talent like this can create original, straight ahead, hot pickin’ versions of the best of the genre, why dwell on the past?
The lady with the ‘big voice’…her Bluesy, Jazz style and wide vocal range lends her voice to an array of tunes….There’s even a few songs by great, Ella Fitzgerald like ‘Lullaby Bird land’ or ‘Cant Take That Away From Me’. Join April for a night of inspiring music, and a celebration of God in all music!
Show at 7:30pm, doors at 6:30pm
