The Triple Door Presents

 

Thursday / July 28, 2016

 

“Brilliant Dionysian music.”  - Garrison Keillor 

 

“An absolutely stellar combination of alt-folk that’s mesmerizing and radiates talent.”  - Seattle Weekly

 

Nick Drummond has released his first solo full-length album Follow the Rivulets with members of Nick’s previous band The Senate. The band for Triple Door - July 28th will include Oliver Franklin on guitar, Ehssan Karimi on drums and Hang, and Eric Robert on keys. Mark Mattrey will sit in on bass.

 

“These guys helped me to craft an album I’m really proud of, and I’m excited to share it with the world and to play this material live with the musicians on the record,” said Drummond. “It’s always a huge honor to get to play with such talented players. We’ve developed a chemistry over years of playing in The Senate, and now we get to take that energy and apply it to an album that hasn't been performed much. It feels like Christmas morning.” 

 

“This album is a collection of 11 of my dearest little friends,” says Drummond, “some of whom are a touch rambunctious and would like to kick out the windows, while others are more comfortable taking a deep breath with a glass of wine or a good view. I have been told the album pairs well with dancing in your underwear. It is about loss, it is about heartache, but it is also about a stubborn cheerfulness that simply won't quit.”

 

Nick has been a performing songwriter for over 10 years, selling out multi-night runs at Seattle’s Triple Door and Dimitirou’s Jazz Alley with The Senate. He has toured across the US and Canada with his former band Impossible Bird and his work with The Senate has been hailed by A Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison Keillor as “Brilliant Dionysian music.” Seattle Weekly praised his music as “An absolutely stellar combination of alt-folk that’s mesmerizing and radiates talent.”
