Here’s a teaser of us rehearsing for the live recording we did on Saturday, February 18th in the Hollywood Hills… can’t wait for you to hear the new record!!
Truckee, CA is one of our favorite places to stop on the road. Talk about picturesque… Well, recently Sierra Nevada College had a “Northstar Session Video Contest” in the Art Department, through the curriculum of our good friend, Professor Rick Parsons. We voted on our favorite, and have chosen the winner: Trevor Jackson, and his music video for our song, “Let You Down.” Thank you, Trevor, and CONGRATULATIONS!
The video is below, with the project instructions following.
Official Project Description: This final project involves the reading of lyrics and listening to the music by the band The Northstar Session. You will be creating a video in response to these lyrics. Each video student will be assigned lyrics and will use this as a place to conjure from. For your final project you may use any video techniques acquired in this class as well as any additional video skills you may have. This assignment is designed to challenge critical thinking skills while developing creative problem solving skills. A “Winning Video” will be selected by the members of the band to be posted on the front page of their website.
“Blending the classic harmonies of Laurel Canyon, circa ’73, with 21st century pop melodies and a relentless touring schedule, the Northstar Session continue to build a loyal following, show-by-show, song-by-song… Five hundred live dates and three albums later, the world is starting to hear what we discovered a few years ago at an intimate little session they did for some radio folks: these guys write great melodies and knock out some mean harmonies… Late bloomers, maybe, but the time has come for the world to point their compasses toward the Northstar Session.”
Here’s the Official Video for the first single off the Winter Collection album. This is the song that we played live on NBC’s Hit TV Show Parenthood this Fall. Enjoy the video, directed by the Legend, Peter Hastings.
