- Solo Night
July 6th, 2011 | Guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle have spent nearly a decade exploring the edges of American roots music. In the process – with help from the driving beat of drummer Brad Horner – Moreland & Arbuckle have forged a relentless and haunting sound that merges Delta blues, folk, rock, traditional country, soul and numerous other echoes and murmurs from an infinitely layered musical narrative that spans more than a century.
"On Flood, Moreland & Arbuckle attack the blues in ways that strongly recall the youthful rediscovery of the genre that hits both sides of the Atlantic in the 1960s, where an art form sometimes given up for dead leaps up and snares you with hard, piercing eyes and a grip that don't quit."
August 18th, 2010 |All Strings Considered was formed in 2006.
After playing for numerous events, and gaining popularity with the local music scene, they recorded their first CD, and called it, "A Place in the Heart."
They have played at Northwest Folklife in Seattle (2008) and have been featured on National Public Radio (June 2008). Inland Folk host Dan Maher says their music is, "SWEET and WELL DONE"
Well known Scottish Dance instructor and pianist, Muriel Johnstone, after hearing ASC play at the 2008 Northwest Folk Life Festival, had this to say about their new CD:
" I really enjoyed your group and I played the CD on the long journey home - some of the tracks really got me going and some were so pretty I was slowing right down - Congratulations on the CD - lovely work."
