Whatever the setting, Oriole Post’s music translates because it’s timeless and unassuming. Lead singer and songwriter Rachel Bonar writes in a rootsy style that reflects the influence of such groups as Nickel Creek and Crooked Still. But the group’s inclusion of drums (Bill Pollock) and upright bass (Roger Strong) often steers songs into territory more akin to Kathleen Edwards or Alison Krauss. The malleable lineup is rounded out by Seth Jenkins on mandolin and guitar, Michaela Meckel on fiddle, and Michelle Strong on harmony vocals.
