Northern Quarter for Country Night at Mel's!

Event Description

Northern Quarter hail from the charming Albertan mountain town of Canmore. The indie pop group formed in 2017, and their varied influences have created a genre-spanning band with songs ranging from Indie Folk to Jazzy lounge style vibes. ​ Centrepiece to this line up is vocalist Phillip Alexander Nugent. The Yukon born singer and lyricist weaves beautiful imagery with fascinating, sometimes stark tales about his own life experiences. Starting as a solo artist and playing these songs acoustically, the evolution to band songs has been an exciting journey for him. ​ Carlos Nadeau's guitar skills are all over every single Northern Quarter song. Carlos' unique style and highly expressive solo abilities leave their mark on everything he touches. Backing all this up are Wendy Crewe on bass, and Dave Crewe on drums and samples. The use of samples played via a drum pad adds an extra dimension to the band.
