About the event

The Rosa Lees at True North Duo at LaurelThirst PDX
Head down to the LaurelThirst Public House for a night of handcrafted songs from two dynamic, female-led bluegrass combos sharing the bill for the first time. This is a night of music not to be missed!

The music of the True North Duo (performing songwriters Kristen Grainger and Dan Wetzel) resonates deeply with audiences seeking memorable songs, skillful instrumentation, and gorgeous vocals.

They have shared a stage with Sarah Jarosz, We Banjo 3, Crooked Still, Della Mae, John Cowan and Darrell Scott, The Duhks, The Punch Brothers, Ronnie Bowman, Kenny and Amanda Smith, Trampled by Turtles, Steel Drivers, The Seldom Scene, Big Richard and Chris Thile.
Kristen continues to earn national recognition for her songwriting, recently showcasing at SXSW on the USA Songwriting stage. She was named, alongside Brandi Carlile and Dolly Parton, one of the “Women Who Wrote Our 2020 Soundtrack” by The Bluegrass Situation. She has won or been a finalist in national songwriting contests at Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Wildflower, Merlefest, and Kerrville Folk Festival.
...
The Rosa Lees hail from the hills of sunny Southern Oregon and trace a distinct line between their music and the vision of female bluegrass pioneers such as Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, Rose Maddox, and beyond.

At the forefront of their music lies an emphasis on closely blended harmonies, hard-charging rhythms, and lyrically potent songs. Their repertoire mingles elements of traditional bluegrass with traces of old-time fiddle and banjo tunes, classic country, old-world Celtic music, and gospel. They prioritize songs with meaning and a strong turn of phrase, working to fuse all these ingredients into the original songs that punctuate their sets.
Audiences consistently rave about the distinct blend of their vocal harmonies and instrumental acuity, not to mention their playful on-stage demeanor.

The Rosa Lees are: Rachel Buklad on banjo and fiddle, Jessie Monter on fiddle, Holly Hurley on bass and lead vocals, and Bekkah McAlvage on guitar and lead vocals.
