Mr. Matt Hedt has once again worked his magic and we'd like to present to you a video for a live version of Golden Tigers (a song off the new record).  Matt, Jessye and I rode around Durham, NC one day and filmed me playing pieces of the song - it was a fun day and we met a bunch of wonderful people who are in the film - all the audio is live.....

We are adding shows weekly so check here often - and email us if you'd like us to come to your city.

The new record is officially out on Feb 24th - we are looking to have pre orders (with a limited edition surprise) ready for you around the end of January.

Next week John Harrison will be heading out with EKR label mates The Good Graces for a 3 day North Carolina set of shows.  John will be playing NorthE songs on banjo and acoustic guitar.  Hope to see you out!

As you may have or may not have noticed we don't mix our music with too many causes. We like to write songs, explore sounds, record, play shows and generally concern ourselves with music.  We are not politicians, activists, or mascots for sports teams. 

We of course have our opinions and whatnots.....liberal leanings, think locally, and of course GO HEELS! - but most of the time North Elementary starts and stops with music.

With this being said - we are concerned with our friends and community in which we live - take some time and read a bit about Mr. Cy Rawls via the links below.
 
We have recorded a cytunes only track in support of all things Cy

Ever since the passing of Mr. Paul Newman I've wanted to record a quick tribute - well today was the day and I decided to make a film of it.  If this song doesn't make any sense to you go and rent "Cool Hand Luke".  If it does......well here ya go.
