Album Launch – The Northern Folk, Wodonga
Hailing from Albury and based in Melbourne, The Northern Folk are in Wodonga this weekend to launch their new album ‘Watermark’ at The Cube on Saturday April 6.
The Northern Folk are a collective of ten musical ambitionists spreading their unique brand of folk/pop/stomp/rock into the roots of small towns and big cities alike.
Combining two powerful vocalists, roaring horns, bashful bass and addictive percussion, their big, diverse sound proves flexible both on stage and on record, and from winning St Kilda Festival’s New Music Stage Competition 2018 to appearances at festivals such as Woodford Folk, it’s continuing to earn them a following wherever they travel.
