Andrew & Noah's KICKSTARTER

Hello friends. We currently have a Kickstarter project underway to help fund a new Andrew & Noah Band album. Check out this video...

Here's how Kickstarter works: we set a funding goal ($7000) and a time-frame (one month). If we reach our goal we can always raise more money! However, if we don't make our goal, we don't get to keep any of it. So please help us make this happen! Thanks.

The Great Bear Trio (Andrew VanNorstrand, Noah VanNorstrand and Kim Yerton) has been playing at contra dances now for over ten years.

(GBR CD006) features the kind of rocking, emotional, dynamic, over-the-top dance music that will keep you moving and grooving all night long! With special guests Nils Fredland on trombone and Chris Miller on saxophone. BUY IT NOW at CDBaby.com!
