https://johnlensing.bandcamp.com/album/america-needs-therapy
 
John Lensing started out as a street performer, writing songs and driving around the US to play them for people. Slowly, this led to playing shows and festivals, but the goal has always been the same. To make people care — about others, themselves, and things that sometimes hurt to care about.
 
His genre-blurring songwriting has brought him on tours all across North America and Europe. Most notably playing a Sofar Sounds showcase at the Sommer in Altona festival (Hamburg), and being named “an artist to watch” by No Depression.

Live Music: Twin Bridges and Nate Norton @ The Sou'wester
Dec 28 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

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.
