About Us:

We are The North Country, a local indie folk rock band with a psychedelic twist. We are based in Washington D.C. and have performed at venues such as R&R hotel, DC9, Velvet Lounge, and Wonderland Ballroom. Earlier this summer, we recorded some live tracks in the WMUC studio at the University of Maryland. The North Country features the talents of Andrew Grossman (Singer, Songwriter, and Guitar), Braden Dauer (Violin), Shaun Dubick (Bass), Hila Brod (Vocals), and Tarek Mohamed (Percussion).

Blank Having first experienced The North Countrys music live in a small DC venue just a little over a week ago, I had an easy time enjoying it. Theirs is a smooth, patient sound, sophisticated and intricate. Not something Im used to seeing from a local band. I admire each members musicianship. They all create interesting parts that add to their musics likability.The North Countrys new recording, The Wiser EP, is as great to listen to as watching them live. Its eponymous track [Wiser] is a great example of their skilled composition and clever lyricism. Their shows are worth attending and the albums worth listening to repeatedly. Simply put: this is music well crafted and well played. So please enjoy!- S. Murray http://sonorouspeeps.wordpress.com/

Braden (Violin)

Braden Dauer started playing violin at a very early age, and grew up as friends with fellow memeber Shaun Dubick. Braden is a graduate of the University of Maryland with a Dual B.A. in Communication and Government and Politics. Bradens playing has always been effortless, and he was consistently at the head of his class musically, and played in many all-regional orchestras throughout his high school years. Today, Braden brings his classical training and burning violin chops to a variety of projects, including the Bush Corner Band, Curbside Manner, The Rising Suns, and of course The North Country. In The North Country, Braden makes use of Delay and Phasing effects to produce a truly unique and original sound that other members of the band refer to as "space violin" because of the psychedelic, ambient like sounds that he produces. His primary influences include: Incubus, Boyd Tinsley of Dave Matthews Band, Jean Luc Ponte, Muse, and Jimi Hendrix.
