Brokentop

Sometimes the biggest musical surprises are quietly burgeoning in our own back yards. Hailing from forested hills and urban landscapes of Western Oregon, Brokentop has snuck into the verdant Northwest acoustic music scene with nary a whisper. But make no mistake; the result is pure acoustic magic.
Brokentop may be a new band with a new name, but its members are seasoned musicians, performers and songwriters with long and impressive resumes, who have teamed up to form this Northwest acoustic supergroup. The instrumental virtuosity and spine tingling harmonies of Brokentop's stage shows are a joy to behold while at the same time inviting the audience into their living room.
Brokentop beautifully blends the traditions of American music with a fusion of Old time, Bluegrass and Classic Country combined with original songs, high caliber-high energy instrumentation and tight vocals.
“A Major Force in the Northwest Music Scene”
-Dan Crary
“One of the New Generation of folk storytellers”
Southeast Examiner, Portland OR
“What a wonderful band… it was the perfect musical evening and it ended way too soon.”
- Ken Cartwright
If you love Misty River, and miss the stunning musicianship of former bluegrass bands Frontline, Sam Hill, Kate McKenzie, and Leah Larson Band, Brokentop brings the best of all those groups together.
