Pressing Strings — live event
When music is given the benefit of instinct, imagination and inspiration, the results areguaranteed to be good. So it ought to come as no surprise that the critically-acclaimed AnnapolisMaryland-based trio, appropriately dubbed Pressing Strings, has infused those elements withintheir musical mantra from the beginning. The band —Jordan Sokel (Guitar/Vocals),Nick Welker(Bass, Vocals), and Justin Kruger (Drums, Vocals) can trace its origins to Sokel’s initialfascination with some iconic influences, among them, the usual suspects — Dylan, Marley,Simon, Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, etc., as well as some more under theradar artists like Taj Mahal, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Nick Drake.Fascination became fulfillment once he picked up the guitar and started writing songs. That’swhen his course became clear. After growing up in New Jersey and Arizona, he eventuallymoved to Arnold, Maryland to attend high school and eventually university at SalisburyUniversity. However once there, he found he began having doubts about his career choice. That’swhen he made it his mission to pursue his musical muse. Still in college, he formed PressingStrings with one of his buddies. Those early efforts, beginningin 2006, found Sokel’s desire anddetermination taking hold, eventually coalescing into a career that now spans six albums —Where We Are(2008),Episodes(2010),Pressing Strings(2012),Life of a Tree(2013),Owe theSource(2015),Settle In(2020) — and two EPs —Most of Us(2016) andMorning Takes(2021).“
