The Points North

The Points North, formerly known as Saint Joe Hazelwood, is an acoustic band from Boston, MA who play minimalist folk that can best be described as a soundtrack to the harsh yet strangely nostalgic New England winter. Beautiful melodies bleed through The Points North's sparse arrangements and serve as a canvas for singer Chris Alspach's literate poetry. Chris' voice is delicate yet confidant and he uses it to deliver lyrics that are simultaneously intensely personal and strikingly universal.
