instrumental

We are a 3-piece rock band that is:
1/3rd Somervillain
1/3rd Woburnian
1/3rd Dudleyian.

We will NOT be with our vocalist for Porchfest so we will be performing a 2-piece instrumental set. Come swing by and check us out! The songs are quick and sometimes erratic but always interesting.
We LOVE You. DO YOU LOVE US? Why NOT?!

-WIFE!!!

Jamie Kallestad and Ben Cosgrove started performing as 90-Mile Portage in order to catch a break from their day jobs: Jamie is a nationally touring singer/songwriter (www.jamiekallestad.com) and Ben is a pianist and composer of music inspired by the North American landscape (www.bencosgrove.com). The music of 90-Mile Portage melds the two members' musical styles. Set to Cosgrove's lush and unconventional arrangements, Kallestad's songs take flight, lake-clear melodies borne up on strange and beautiful instrumental layers. 90-Mile Portage released an self-titled EP in 2013 and are slowly and quietly assembling a full-length release.
