“An intense combination of
multi-instrumentation and pure harmony.” – Elmore Magazine
Bellingham, Washington-based five-piece band Polecat combines bluegrass, Celtic, and
rock sounds on its new album Into The Wind, out today. Having established a reputation for high
energy performances throughout the Northwest, the band will embark on a string
of dates with Yonder Mountain String
Band on March 15th. Details of a headlining tour to follow are
forthcoming.
Tracks from Into The Wind can be streamed now
via Relix,
Elmore
Magazine, and The
Bluegrass Situation.

The members of Polecat
arrived at their first rehearsal from very different musical backgrounds.
“Some of us shook hands for the first time that day,”
says band leader and vocalist Aaron
Guest of the initial meeting in early 2010.
Incorporating multiple genres that not only include the above, but also world,
country, and reggae into a cohesive sound might have been impossible if each
member of Polecat hadn’t learned the
rules before breaking them. The group is
well-seasoned, having performed nearly 100 shows a year since its inception,
but at that first meeting, Polecat
didn’t even have a name.
In the five years that followed Polecat released two full-length albums and has seen consistent growth
throughout the Northwest as each band member's musical diversity allowed them
to chameleon through an incredible variety of gigs and audiences.
Into
The Wind by Polecat arrives on March 11th,
2016. Members of Polecat are
available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
