The inventive lyrics and superb voice of Kristen is outstanding. And so is the musicianship of Dan Wetzel. Luthier craftsman, Dan know his strings and turns one guitar (and mandolin) into a full band. Industry Magazine No Depresion says “True North plays tunes so smooth they bring to mind bluegrass-pop artists like Alison Krauss and Union Station, as well as old country legends like Hank Williams.”
Kristen is a writer by trade and a singer by divine mystery.. She is the voice nature offers like Olympic Mountains or the Columbia River. Hopefully they do “Keep the River on your Right.” It’s one of Stage3’s favorites. She packs stories and soulful lyrics into songs that reach your heart and lift you up at the same time.
A songwriter whose star continues to rise, Kristen Grainger was named, alongside Brandi Carlile and Dolly Parton, one of the Women Who Wrote Our 2020 Soundtrack by The Bluegrass Situation. Kristen won first place in the 2020 USA Songwriting Competition (folk), and she has won or been a finalist in national songwriting contests at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Wildflower Festival, Merlefest, and Kerrville New Folk.
True North’s most recent album, Falling Stars, soared to the top of the charts in record time. Award winning, international touring, heartwarming layerd sounds, they create superb shows.
Auntmama’s Stage3 is fortunate to present this dynamic band who’s music is equal to their charm and grace. Perfect combo.
