Bellingham, Washington has been keeping secrets. Coming out of the Northwest is a sound easily fits into the mountains of the Appalachian homeland where the music of Cabin Fever NW was birthed. The duo, Dianne Bochsler and Tara Wolfe, blend a love for mountain music, musical chops to match their influences and a knack for weaving contemporary themes into the story lines. The combination works great on ‘The Door Is Always Open’. Tales of love and loss, leaving and coming back home and social topics such as crime and punishment coexist over the bright joy of the backing instrumentation.

The band not only calls Washington home but claims its territory as its touring base across the Pacific Northwest. The pain of losing children to school was solved when the two met on their sons’ first day of pre-school. That was twelve years ago and Cabin Fever NW is still going strong. ‘The Door Is Always Open’ is the band third album. It mixes originals and traditional songs in a good balance. Imagine Simon and Garfunkel singing with Carter Family’s devotion.
