A typical show can be anything from a solo set to the full trio which includes guitar/vocals, bassist, and another guitarist. The set up is fairly simple with mainly vocal mics and guitar amps. In house PA equipment is preferred but the band can provide all their own sound if necessary. Sets run anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The songs are in the vein of traditional folk and blues with the bands own original interpretations. Almost all of the set will be original music and requests are not usually taken but can be considered!
The Old North is a lively Americana trio playing an upbeat style of traditional folk music that blends the singer/songwriter genre with jazz, bluegrass, and blues. On November 12, 2021, the band released their EP, Ghost, following their single “Drifter,” from October. These songs are part of 11 new tracks to be released from fall 2021 through spring 2022 in the form of three singles and two EPs. Over the last three years, the band has performed all over New England from New Haven, CT, to Burlington, VT. The trio has become recognized in tap rooms, breweries, and clubs including Boston area venues like Club Passim, Toad, Atwood’s Tavern, The Middle East, The Plough and Stars, Aeronaut, and Night Shift Brewery among others. The band has also been hard at work with a new video series featuring full band live performances and acoustic demos of new songs, all of which can be found on their YouTube page.
The band doesn't require much! As mentioned previously, an in house sound system would be preferred but they can provide all their own equipment if necessary. All that is really needed is enough space to set up and play.
