  • Bio

    Weathered Pines was formed in 2006 by lead vocalist and songwriter, Marissa Johnson (No Kids, Gigi, Dizzy Eyes). The original line-up had Conrad Dykman on drums and Steve Matheson (Ghost House, Mt. Career) on bass, who were later joined by Bryce Janssens (The Fine Options, Lord Beginner, A Pale Blue) on lead guitar. As soon as the roles were filled, Weathered Pines hit the ground running, playing shows and writing enough songs to record a full length album within two months of formation. With influences such as Neil Young, Elvis Costello and Gram Parsons, Weathered Pines blends bottom-of-the-bottle country with a hint of rock ‘n’ roll grit. This has led them to be equally as likely to appear on a bill next to country sweethearts Carolyn Mark or Jenny Whitely as they are next to total rockers Vancougar or the Tranzmitors. Look for their debut LP, "The Sky Between the Buildings" available on Dejlig Records.
