Kristen Grainger & True North Release New Album 'FEAR OF FALLING STARS'

With the release of their new album Fear of Falling Stars, Americana stringband Kristen Grainger & True North deliver another lovely dose of the band's award-winning songcraft with an equal focus on compelling stories and world-class musicianship. Led by Grainger's enchanting vocals and drawing on elements of bluegrass, country, and Americana, Fear of Falling Stars ranges from heart-wrenching ballads to foot-stomping anthems, revealing a series of musical zoom shots through the windows of modern life. “We gravitate towards songs that let us stretch out instrumentally and stack harmonies like cordwood; that's our bluegrass roots coming through," Grainger says. “But our real superpower is creating songs that tell stories—our stories—of this world, these times.”
