Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand
Biography
Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand have been bringing their brand of high-energy contemporary acoustic music to concert halls, festival stages and dance floors across North America for several years. Both boys are accomplished singers, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists, focusing on twin fiddles, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and banjo.
Their original music is a finely crafted blend of old-time Country and Bluegrass, Celtic and Contra, Swing and Jazz, alternative folk rock and various world music influences, with equal emphasis on both daring improvisation and intricate arrangements.
All The Good Summers is the brothers’ third release as a duo. With this album, they sought to expand their sound with broader instrumentation and a strong focus on the three-part vocal blend they developed with Noah’s wife, Kailyn Wright. The duo finds its niche somewhere between Nickel Creek, Iron & Wine, The Tin Hat Trio and Lunasa; their deep understanding of traditional folk music is easily recognized even as their creative original material continues to explore new musical horizons.
