PACIFIC NW ELECTRIC AMERICANA BAND
eSTABLISHED 2021
The Common Thread formed in 2021, with their lineup solidifying as a trio in 2022. They are an electric Americana band based in Olympia, Washington. Fronted by singer/songwriter Casey Meehan, the trio also features bassist, Jim Farley and fiddler, Damian Nelson. This Americana group blends guitar, fiddle, bass percussion and soulful vocals in a captivating, foot-stomping performance. Their music is best described as a crockpot of alt-country, folk and rock & roll with songwriting placing a strong emphasis on fiddle melodies and a to-the-point-baritone vocal performance, all supported by a very clean rhythmic bedframe.
Over the winter of 2023-24 The Common Thread recorded their debut full length record - digitally available via streaming platforms this summer, followed by a physical release in the coming year. During recording, the band tracked 20 songs, with the intention of narrowing down and releasing a dozen or so that “belong together”. A concentrated effort being made to create a balanced record as a whole, not just a collection of songs - specifically translating the identity of The Common Thread's live sound and performance into their recorded versions - soaring fiddle melodies, harmonies, solo sections, simple percussion grooves, lyrical storytelling, soulful vocals, unison instrumental lines - it's all there!
