American Roots duo True North (Kristen Grainger and Dan Wetzel) create songs of haunting beauty that nestle in the ear on the way to the heart.
Kristen and Dan met by chance several years ago, when the bands they were playing in were both booked at the same venue on the same night. By day, Dan was working as a custom homebuilder, and Kristen worked in politics as a speechwriter. Without their shared interest in bluegrass music, it is unlikely their paths would ever have crossed.
They realized early on that their musical connection was profound, creating a unique alchemy much greater than the sum of their respective talents.
Both Kristen and Dan feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and to share this life-long musical adventure. They have produced eight albums and composed nearly 100 original songs, winning songwriting awards at MerleFest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Wintergrass, and the USA Songwriting Contest, to name a few.
Based out of Oregon’s beautiful wine country on the west coast of the USA, True North tours nationally and internationally, promoting their new album, Time and Materials, which Grammy- nominated bluegrass artist Kate Mackenzie called, “Great writing, beautifully sung.”
