Personal Music Taste

Both my mom and my dad like all different kinds of music, and they had the biggest influence on me for musical taste. From when I was born till I was about 8 years old, the primary music that we listened to was country music. Around this time, I was introduced to other artists from many different genres such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Who, Waylon Jennings, and so many more! My first two artists that I remember obsessing over were Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra! When I was around the age of 8, my family upgraded our internet from dial-up to a higher speed internet, which allowed me to view endless videos and stories on all sorts of musicians. My 1st ever concert was a fantastic performance by Toby Keith when I was 13 or so! I’ve also seen Bonnie Reit, George Thorogood, Paul McCartney, and my personal favorite, Billy Joel!

In addition to “The Northwood’s Band”, me and my brother, Colton McCullough, have an acoustic duo that plays smaller venues around the northland. We cover mainly classic rock songs, while also covering songs from the 1950’s, classic country, and newer music. We have been performing for about 3 years now, and we have so much fun doing it! We’ve even started to tap into the St. Cloud Music Market, playing at places like ‘Club Almar” and “Spilled Grain Brewery”. We do our best to incorporate, engage, and entertain our audience through using humor, walking through the crowd, and performing songs that many different people can relate to. Although this is a side project to The Northwood’s Band, we can’t help but have a blast playing any kind of music stripped down of drums and bass, especially with my brother!
