Bio
Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand have been bringing their brand of high-energy contemporary acoustic music to concert halls, festival stages and dance floors across North America for several years. Both boys are accomplished singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists; focusing on twin fiddles, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and banjo. Their original music if a finely crafted blend of old-time Country and Bluegrass, Celtic and Contra, Swing and Jazz, alternative folk rock and various world music influences with equal emphasis on both daring improvisation and intricate arrangements. Andrew and Noah have toured extensively as The Great Bear Trio with their mother Kim on piano and also occasionally perform with Jay Ungar & Molly Mason as well as their psychedelic, alter-ego, contra-rock group Giant Robot Dance. Their current collaboration, The Andrew & Noah Band, is a six-piece ensemble featuring the fine additions of Rachel Bell on accordion, Kevin Dorsey on bass, Dana Billings on drums and Noah's wife Kailyn Wright adding her exquisite vocals to the mix. This group finds it's niche somewhere between Nickel Creek, Iron & Wine, The Tin Hat Trio and Lunasa; their deep understanding of traditional folk music is easily recognized even as their creative original material continues to explore new musical horizons. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .............................. .. .. .. .. .. ...................... .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Image Hosting.. - ..Comments....
