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 <a href="https://www.truenorthband.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.truenorthband.com</a>.

THE BLUES WARRIORS PERFORM THE 2ND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH
Harmonica master Mark Wenner goes non-stop. As the founder/leader of the blues and roots rock band, The Nighthawks, he’s been kicking out great music for over 50 years. The Nighthawks have amassed a release collection of nearly 30 albums, and Wenner has released four solo projects. Now, he brings us Mark Wenner’s Blues Warriors.
“This band is actually a blues band,” says Wenner, addressing comparisons to the ‘Hawks. “The Nighthawks are a blues and roots-rock band. This band, with upright bass, is more authentic, old school and swinging. It’s closer to the <a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/cash-box-kings-sign-alligator-records/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cash Box Kings</a> than <a href="https://www.americanbluesscene.com/j-geils-dead-71/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">J.

The Grandsons bring with them a pawn shop of instruments. Vocalist-guitarist-trumpeter Alan MacEwen charms audiences with his sly wit and winsome original songs. DC blues veteran Matthew Sedgley locks in the groove on drums and percussion. Saxophonist Chris Watling puts out a sound so meaty and memorable that he is in demand all over as a guest artist and session player. Moe Nelson holds down the low end on upright bass but has been known to break out the ukulele. Join The Grandsons as they move and shake into their 3rd decade in the world of rock and roll!

Applying early can often be beneficial - higher acceptance rates, more scholarships, consideration for honors college, etc.
However, applying early can also limit your options financially or rush you to submit a weaker application.
Join our free workshop led by a certified college counselor to learn whether early applications are the best path for your family. We'll break down the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
Parents and students welcome.
