North Village was born from the Seacoast Last Waltz Project embers, as singer/songwriter

Martin England discussed starting a new band with Last Waltz bassist Greg Glasson after a

rehearsal when the pair started jamming on some of England’s originals. Drummer Rick Habib

and keyboardist Jay Cohen joined the duo in the spring of 2022, and the quartet began

arranging and rehearsing many of England’s compositions. Lyrically, the songs are steeped in

the fires of love and loss but also embody resiliency and joy. Musically, the songs range from

inspired, frenetic jams to super-focused melodic tapestries, pulling in various influences by The

Band, the Allman Brothers, John Prine, and the Grateful Dead. North Village is recording its

debut album at Thundering Sky Studios in South Berwick, Maine, with an eye towards a fall

2023 release.
