The Points North June 11, 2009

The Points North was founded in January 2008 when duo Saint Joe Hazelwood (Christopher Alspach and Regina Peterson) expanded with the inclusion of Tiger Saw/Fort Orange drummer Dylan Clark. As a trio The Points North compose their hushed minimalist New England-inspired folk songs with nylon-string guitar, octave mandolin, Irish flute, reed organ, percussion and the male-female harmonies of Alspach and Peterson to deliver their twenty-first century take on traditionalist country folk songs. From their home in Boston's Jamaica Plain and Roslindale neighborhoods The Points North have played widely at DIY venues, and recently released a split cassette with The Woodrow Wilsons. The band is currently recording their first full-length album to be released on Grinding Tapes Recordings in fall '09.
