'a stream up north' was written and recorded over the course of five days in a small cottage on a tiny island on the St. Lawrence River in upstate NY. On what Music Connection Magazine calls a 'beautifully understated new album', Nash reflects on the bittersweet memories of summers past. 　　 　　Nash and singer songwriter Joe Purdy provide the textural backdrop for these eight island tales with a bunch of old guitars, banjo and mandolin. 　　 　　Sparse, beautiful and true, 'a stream up north' captures a moment in time that will stick with you for years.
