The sound and soul of The Northwoods is both familiar yet new. Listen carefully and you will hear echoes of Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and James Taylor as they collide with the 21st century.

Elijah Palnik and Jeremy Shanas are taking American music in a new direction. The Northwoods restore the beauty of poetry to its rightful place in today's music through rich, soulful vocal harmonies and an occasional dose of funky, percussive rhythms.

St. Louis's most respected music magazine, The Riverfront Times, awards The Northwoods

"The Northwoods wind and weave their harmonies with carefree tranquility. Recalling the creamy and precise vocal blend of Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Northwoods--Jeremy Shanas, and Eli Palnik--finesse their graceful songs with delicately interwoven acoustic and electric guitars."

-Sara Finke KDHX St. Louis Community Radio

"The Northwoods' tunes are driven primarily by completely unimpeachable harmonies, every bit as intricate as they are melodic."

-Erik Ziedses des Plantes WERS - Emerson College Radio
