Wooden Sleepers is a Portland folk-rock band featuring Nolan Gordin, Nik Kemmer, Phil Krug, and Carl LaRue. The band has been writing songs and performing together for the past four years, building a loyal fan base with their upbeat folk and bluegrass tunes. Their debut full-length album, Storm Floatin’, gives a nod to those roots while showcasing a more progressive blend of american, rock, and soul influences. Continuing the DIY approach, the record was entirely engineered, mixed, and produced by the band over numerous sessions in Portland and on the Oregon Coast in 2017 and early 2018, with additional fiddle and banjo performed by multi instrumentalist Amy Hakanson. The final tracks were mastered by Gus Elg at Sky Onion in Portland, with one of a kind artwork created via block print by long time friend and printer Harry Schneider. Storm Floatin’ is available for digital download and listening on all major steaming services October 12th, 2018.
Wooden Sleepers has performed in Sofar Portland, OR and Sofar Eugene.
