Midnight North

• Nathan Graham: drums, banjo, lead and harmony vox;
• Grahame Lesh: guitar, acoustic guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Connor O'Sullivan: bass, electric contrabass, mandolin;
• Elliott Peck: acoustic guitar, guitar, tambourine, lead and harmony vox.
  - with guests -
• Jason Crosby: Nord keyboard, 6-string violin, harmony vox;
• Scott Law: guitar, lead & harmony vox.

With a new album in the bag (recorded last spring, right as the pandemic hit), today's show featured a decent helping of new tunes: Those Days are Gone We're Not Alone, Strawberry Moon Silent Lonely Drifter (with lead vocals from Nathan, and mandolin from special guest, Scott Law), Coyote, Those Were Good Days, The Wild Card (which Grahame specifically identified, and called out today as the first live performance), and The Sailor and the Sea (which included about a minute of I Heard It Through the Grapevine during the middle jam section).

All in all, it was a fun way to chillax outside on a fall Sunday!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
