Cabin Fever NW with Avery Bergstrom

If friendship had a soundtrack, this would be it! "Imagine Simon and Garfunkel singing with the Carter Family's devotion" - Alternate Root Magazine Cabin Fever NW performs vibrant original songs with beautifully rich vocals and masterful instrumentation, with a wide crossover appeal for fans of Americana, folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriter, country, pop and gospel. Over their 25 years of singing and playing together, Cabin Fever NW has delighted audiences and created fans at venues and shows of all shapes and sizes, including the Winter Music Festival in Florence OR, Oktoberfest in Mt Angel OR, Pete Seeger's Strawberry Festival on the Hudson River in Beacon NY, and the Wayne C. Henderson Festival in Mouth of Wilson VA. Dianne Bochsler's (vocals, rhythm guitar) musical career began by singing duets and playing guitar with her father. She adopted an important piece of his life philosophy: happiness is playing a guitar and singing with friends. Her love of the stage took her all the way from upstate New York to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. When she saw the music scene in the Pacific Northwest, she realized she had to be part of it. She followed her heart's desire and jumped into the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, where she found a bottomless well of inspiration. Tara Caldwell’s (vocals, clawhammer banjo) musical roots rise from the mountains and prairies of Alberta and the folk traditions of the labor movement. As a two-year-old child, she "imprinted" with the banjo and has been following it around ever since. When Tara and Dianne met at their children’s preschool, they discovered their near-perfect vocal blend and immediately grew ambitious about performing, recording, and living out their musical dreams together. Paul Elliott (vocals, smokin' hot fiddle) is an extremely versatile and respected West Coast fiddle player. He is a member of the legendary country group Sons of the Pioneers, originally founded in 1934 by Roy Rogers and sporting their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has performed with The Good Old Persons, John Reischman, Michelle Shocked, Alison Brown, Buell Neidlinger, The Downtown Mountain Boys and many others. His recording credits span film, television, and radio, and a long list of recordings including Scott Nygaard’s No Hurry on the Rounder label.
