Krist Krueger, Casey Montgomery, Ryan Heise, Robert Bartleson, David Fimbres (Alumni: Andrew Johnson, Steve McCabe, Bryan Fairfield, Joey Prude)
Influences
Passions, Days of our Lives, Woody Guthrie and Willie Nelson. But I can not stand General Hospital! Though I do like ER. Come to think of it, I don't really watch much television at all. Gasp!
Sounds Like
Brian Wilson and Willie Nelson have a baby who is later adopted and raised by Marc Bolan and a not-so-distant cousin, Woody Guthrie who, while baby-sitting and completely co-incidentally got into a train wreck with your mother and swapped babies. Accidentally? The world may never know.
Record Label

There are few true auteurs in pop music. The closest most so-called pop auteurs come to multi-tasking is mustering a balance between singer and songwriter. Southerly, the nom-de-tune of Krist Krueger is the product of a bona fide DIY visionary. Not only does Krueger sing, write and arrange the music of Southerly, he's a seasoned recording engineer, record label manager and professional booking agent. He remains hands-on in all aspects of his music.
The Portland artist's lush, orchestral pop is reminiscent of The National, Brendan Benson, Richard Ashcroft, Elliott Smith and former Tindersticks frontman Stuart Staples. Krueger recorded the second Southerly album, Storyteller and the Gossip Columnist, with his own full orchestra and horn arrangements. The arrangements flesh out the songs, which center on Krueger's otherwise intimate singing style. Even in his solo performances, you can almost hear the sweeping and swooning violins, horns and backing vocals that surround Krueger's every note....
