Greg Volker and the River is a Minneapolis-based rock n’ roll band traversing a musical landscape filled with long, thick shadows and flashes of blinding light.

Sometimes soft and gentle and at other times jagged and raw, the band inspires comparisons to the honest and unruly magic of Neil Young and the sonic propulsion of My Morning Jacket. Their sound shares a deep reverence and kinship with alt-country bands of the 90s including The Jayhawks, Sonic Youth, and Son Volt. At its core, American roots music remains the singular force uniting and guiding Volker’s vision with influences like Gillian Welch and Steve Earle.

Volker made a name for himself musically while living in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly three decades. Before returning to his home city of Minneapolis, he toured locally and regionally, and recorded six albums with bands Deer Crossing, Dirt Road, and Gunpowder.

“The Bay Area just might have a contender for the No Depression crown.”

[From deep in the heart of southern Appalachia, sounds of the Mississippi delta echo through the lush mountain air, haunting the fretboard of Heidi Holton’s well-worn Gibson guitar. Original and fresh, traditional with a contemporary flair, Heidi is turning heads with her mastery of the music of the deep south. Her songwriting shines like the sweet glistening sweat on the brow of a Piedmont preacher behind the pulpit on a sultry Sunday afternoon. Following in the footsteps of guitar-slingers like Mississippi Fred McDowell and Blind Willie McTell, Heidi Holton is making a name for herself in the international blues community. A recent move to Nashville, TN places her in the perfect position to write, record, and spend as much time on the road as possible.]
