Great Northern groupee session

January 20th, 2010

Last year, Los Angeles-based band Great Northern released the the fine CD Remind Me Where The Light Is, which, aside from setting a record for number of songs with one-word titles, cemented the band’s reputation for producing rich tapestries of melodic rock. They are led by the talented Solon Bixler, formerly of 30 Seconds to Mars, and lead singer Rachel Stolte, who has one of the best voices in the business.

Check out our session with the band below.
