True North Bio

True North plays original modern country/roots rock, simply described by many converts as “real music”. Lyrics that look at life with a backward glance and a forward prayer. Music that pays homage to their Midwestern roots, but also gives a nod to the rock artists they grew up listening to. American music, you can call it that.

True North incorporates a traditional rock and roll rhythm section atop fiddle, mandolin, accordion, lap steel, and harmonica, to forge their own unique sound. A six-piece group, with several multi-instrumentalists onboard, allows for impressive musical diversity.

True North released their fourth CD, entitled “Dimestore Hemingway”, in May of 2009. “The name nails the intelligent, everyman spirit of this band”, states the KC Pitch Magazine.

In 2008, True North was nominated one of the regions best bands by KC Pitch and topped the “Best Of” poll in the St. Joseph News-Press. They wrote, arranged, and recorded the soundtrack for a PBS Special, focusing on life in middle America.

In their fifth year of recording and performing across the Midwest, True North brings to the stage a wealth of experience and a depth of material rarely seen. Check their online calendar for dates in your region.
