Live Music: Twin Bridges and Nate Norton

Twin Bridges’s melancholic aesthetic is the result of fusing classical and chamber music’s instrumentation and musicality with folk and indie-rock. Hailing from New Mexico, Twin Bridges currently resides in Portland, Oregon. “Born out of personal turmoil and heartbreak, Twin Bridges’ music is a testament to the healing power of art. “ – Voicemag UK 

Nate Norton emits folk for the dark night of the soul – a ritual of pulsing nylon-stringed fingerstyle guitar and brassy, bellowing vocal incantations. Fans of Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine, and Jose Gonzalez often find themselves in familiar territory with Nate’s composition and style, while also finding parallels with the ominously gravelly timbre of Tom Waits. Heavily inspired by a harrowing escape from the world of religious fundamentalism, much of his catalog carries the undertones of the grim and traumatic circumstances from which it was born, while also embodying a prodigious sense of uplift, triumph, and hope.
