True North Duo

“True North plays tunes so smooth they bring to mind bluegrass-pop artists like Alison Krauss and Union Station, as well as old country legends like Hank Williams.”

Kim Ruehl, No Depression/West Coast Performer

• With lush vocal harmonies accompanied by a master of flat-pick guitar, the songs of True North Duo (Kristen Grainger and Dan Wetzel) embody the soul of American Bluegrass, nestling sweetly in the ear on the way to the heart.  

Kristen's songwriting has taken top honors at MerleFest and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival songwriting competitions, and in 2020, she won the USA Songwriting Contest. She was named, alongside Dolly Parton and Brandi Carlile, one of the "Women Who Wrote Our 2020 Soundtrack" by The Bluegrass Situation. 

Three of their albums have hit #1 on folk radio charts. Their newest, Fear of Falling Stars, is now in wide release. Learn more at www.truenorthband.com.
