start with a love and respect of traditional country music.
The Big North Band started out simply playing the music they loved. Real people. Real instruments. Stories of down and out cowboys and truckers making their way across life and lonesome highways. The "story' has always been the heart of great country music.
A group of talented musicians got together somewhere around 2008 and decided to do their part in helping preserve the heritage of this music, which is truly an American art Form. Outlaw country in particular being the most enjoyable vehicle for showcasing their various talents. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard being the inspiration and reason for forming the band.
Those first few years were tough. This style of music ain't easy to play. But gig after gig after gig they made headway in finding the right types of songs and instrumentation that would let them evolve into a professional traditional country band.
