Nashville, TN – Eclectic folk/roots/rock band Fruition will be performing at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom on October 17th (ticket info). The band is on tour in support of their long-awaited studio album How To Make Mistakes , which was recently released on August 23rd (you can listen HERE). The album has received positive coverage in American Songwriter, Whisky Riff, Americana Highways, Glide Magazine, Twangville, Live for Live Music, and more – plus a feature in Rolling Stone. Their latest track, “Get Lost,” from the album is about a desire to escape from the hustle and bustle of life and reconnect with nature, oneself, and those around you. The lyrics reflect a longing for simplicity, tranquility, and a deep yearning to be closer to the earth for rejuvenation. You can listen to the new track HERE.
For their first offering in four years, the acclaimed Portland, OR quintet took a fresh new approach to recording by producing the album themselves and recording all tracks live off the floor. The result is a collection that embraces the in-the-moment connection and feel of a live band and songs that exude the love, growth, longing, loss, and sheer life lived during the group’s fifteen years together. A prime example is their first single “Saturday Night,” with its intimate, easygoing groove and sublime vocal harmonies, a Fruition signature. Listen to “Saturday Night” HERE.
Fruition is Jay Cobb Anderson (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Kell Asebroek (vocals, guitar, piano), Mimi Naja (vocals, guitar, piano, mandolin), Jeff Leonard (bass), and Tyler Thompson (drums). Distinguished by soaring three-part harmonies and three accomplished songwriters, Fruition has built an impressive body of work that is both uniquely their own and instantly familiar. How To Make Mistakes is the truest representation of the band’s all-encompassing sound, embodying the full spread of Fruition’s past and present on the most definitive album of their career.
