DESCRIPTION:From raging fiddle tunes\, to saxophone solos and unrequited l
 ove songs\, the music of The Faux Paws would be hard to pin down with stan
 dard genre descriptions.  The trio’s contagious groove\, and feel-good m
 elting pot folk music has been honed over ten years of playing together\, 
 and is the sound of three close friends (two of which happen to be brother
 s)\, who feel a musical kinship that transcends any stylistic limitations.
    Now\, after nearly a decade of music making\, the bi-coastal trio are r
 eleasing their self-titled debut album “The Faux Paws”Brothers Andrew 
 and  Noah VanNorstrand grew up playing contra dance music with their music
 ian mother in the band Great Bear. Chris Miller grew up in Florida\, and h
 e was enamored with bluegrass\, and studied jazz before going on to play w
 ith GRAMMY nominated Cajun-country band The Revelers.  Since meeting in 20
 12\, the trio have toured across North America several times\, sometimes u
 nder the name The Faux Paws\, sometimes as part of other larger ensembles.
    But due to their commitments to other bands and musical projects\, the 
 timing was never right to focus on making The Faux Paws a priority.  Inste
 ad\, they took their time learning about different styles of music from on
 e another\, and finding where their interests and skills could create unex
 pected and exciting new sounds. “I love super glossy pop music\, and Chr
 is is always pushing more of a jazz influence” says Noah.. “But we all
  have a strong background in dance music\, so almost everything we do has 
 rhythm and groove\, and is based around hook and feel”. It may have take
 n The Faux Paws ten years to make their debut album\, but those years have
  clearly not gone to waste.  Now\, with an experimental but cohesive visio
 n\, the trio brings together seemingly unrelated musical elements into one
  joyful and distinctive collection\, deeply rooted in the raw humanity of 
 folk dance and music traditions. \nTickets: https://ironhorse.org/parlorro
