East Of Westreville is a tight-knit Americana/bluegrass/folk outfit rooted in old-time influences and gospel-inflected harmonies. Featuring Kaija Bonde on vocals, Brian Bonde on lead and rhythm guitar with backing vocals, Boyd Bristow on guitar and vocals, and Al Slaathaug on upright bass, the group delivers heartfelt storytelling with a warm, rootsy sound. Their music traces back to mid-2000s origins with the debut album Waitin... released in CD format and associated with Comfort Theatre, a hub for intimate, community-centered performances.
