Points North
Biography:
California-based Points North is a guitar-driven instrumental band that offers classic tones and song structures while maintaining a modern relevance. Their music ventures into both bluesy roots-rock and progressive rock - and points between. Elements of their music show influences from Rush, the Dixie Dregs, and even Joe Satriani, yet Points North brings it all together into a unique package.
The band is comprised of guitarist Eric Barnett, bassist Damien Sisson, and drummer Kevin Aiello. Barnett has attended the Manhattan School of Music, Juillard summer programs, and GIT in Los Angeles and his musical skill and versatility show through in his work with Points North. The solid rhythm section of Sisson and Aiello anchor the sound and add dimension to Barnett's playing.
Points North has generated considerable buzz in the San Francisco area, has made on-air radio appearances and has even opened for legendary guitarist Michael Schenker.
