NORTHERNRAIN Band, The neo-folk, indie rock duo Northern Rain are performing at Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 4-7 p.m.
 
NORTHERNRAIN - John and Leah - has been playing tunes up and down the coast all summer. The duo singer songwriters are from Midcoast Maine. A shared love of singing and songwriting brought them together as a couple, and NORTHERNRAIN was born.
 
Together they write, record and perform original music that combines the driving rhythm of southern rock with the emotional pull of traditional folk.
 
Leah comes from an artistic family and was classically trained at the piano. At age 15 she began guitar lessons, and songwriting soon followed. Her style is influenced by the Greenwich Village folk revolution, as well as 80s and 90s pop.
 
John was raised in a small fishing town where music was passed down for generations on both sides of the family. His mom was classically trained on the violin and the piano, and his great grandfather was a lighthouse keeper on Boston light who played the harp. His grandfather played the four string banjo, and his fathers plays the five string. John picked up the guitar at age 13 and his songwriting and rhythm guitar style grew from there. His style is rooted in gospel and southern rock.
 
Don't miss your chance to see them, sharing real life personal stories through the driving acoustic rhythms and beautiful harmonies of their music. Fisherman’s Wharf is at 22 Commercial St., in downtown Boothbay Harbor.
