Originally the artistic outlet of Matthew Szlachetka as early as 2002, The Northstar Session has since grown to a 4-piece collaboration between Szlachetka, Kane McGee, Dave Basaraba, and Paris Patt.
Listeners appreciate their ability to unite generations of music-lovers with a "vintage-rock" sound - an obvious homage to the great bands that influenced them - while still incorporating a new feel and personal variation on a simple rock style. A seemingly perfect blend of new and old, The Northstar Session focuses on the value of the "song" first and foremost
This 4-piece rock band hails from Southern California, and has quickly amassed a worldwide following for their recorded works. Supporting only an EP for the first year, they have played to sold-out audiences from Seattle, WA to San Diego, CA, and hope to grow their live audience in 2008 - their second year together - when they head out to support their first full-length release: New Prehistoric Times (2008 CD).
Audiences and Reviewers have likened their music to that of The Band, Wilco, The Black Crowes, The Wallflowers, Ryan Adams, and Counting Crows, to name a few.
