LEWISTON — The Northstar Session, a rootsy-folk-rock band from Los Angeles that gave a live performance on NBC’s “Parenthood,” will perform at the Irish Twins Pub on Saturday, Nov. 19.

The band was originally the artistic outlet of singer-songwriter and guitarist Matt Szlachetka of Longmeadow, Mass., a 2002 Bates College graduate.

The Northstar Session didn’t become the band heard today until Szlachetka moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and met up with drummer/songwriter Kane McGee and keyboardist/songwriter Dave Basaraba. Since then, the three have written and recorded one EP and three full-length records.

They released their third album, “Late Bloomer,” last April, tour tirelessly and can be heard on radio stations around the country.

Influenced heavily by the rock ‘n’ roll sound emanating from Hollywood and surrounding areas in the 1960s and 1970s, The Northstar Session chose to pay homage to many of these bands by recording two albums in studios in historic Laurel Canyon. This “Laurel Canyon Experience” is obvious in their music and is often reminiscent of pop melodies with creative harmonies and countermelodies harkening back to bands like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Neil Young and The Beach Boys.

The Northstar Session played the Irish Twins Pub this past July. Their November show will begin at 9 p.m. at the pub is at 743 Main St. For more information, visit www.TheNorthstarSession.com.
