The Great Northwest: When it Reigns is RULES!

From The Golden Plates:

... Brian Coates gave himself permission to fall in love with a couple of musical motifs. He then gathered a brotherhood spanning the North American continent (Randall Alton, Josh Kalberg, Brent Fellows, Joseph Kaczmarek, Geoff Cecil, Peter Holmstrom, Jefferson Baldwin, Caleb Spiegel, Andy Olmstead, Michael Faith, Rev. Dand Lee Strickland...) around a picnic table under a fig tree and told them:

"Be not afraid. We will immerse ourselves into the chords and tones we love. Our love will give birth to a theme. We won't stop until we've given that theme a solid chance to express itself fully."

The brotherhood rejoiced at the opportunity to embrace a familiar sound and explore it's potential without having to say goodbye too soon. That is how The Great Northwest was created.

Like the Cascade volcano's that lay dormant and ready to drop Seattle into the ocean and shake the I-5 and I-205 bridge into the mighty Columbia river, The Great Northwest's album The Widespread Reign of, is ready to blow Every Ones mind. -- Ste. Goldie
