The North County Band is the creative culmination of Chicago-born singer-songwriter Scott Smith and Texas fiddle sensation, Cat Lines. Together they summoned some of Connecticut's most seasoned and versatile musicians to compliment their songwriting craft & musical prowess and to deliver a unique signature sound. Their debut EP, "Connecticut", is widely regarded as a grass-roots collaborative effort with songs about the Nutmeg State, isolation, challenges of the modern era, and family. This initial recording release propelled the band into a nine-state, 115-date tour, as well as nominations for New England's "Country Act of the Year" and "Rising Stars of Connecticut" by the New England Music Awards. Wasting no time, the North County Band has now partnered with renowned music producer David Morgan of the Music Shed Studios, to get to work on their sophomore release and fan-funded "Lay it on the Line" LP which is currently in development and widely anticipated.
