The North Country is rich in musical talent but with venues closed and concerts virtual until the pandemic is over, it’s even harder for musicians to get their work to an audience. So last summer NCPR began featuring music by regional artists during our news programs. Ursa and the Major Key sent in some tracks that we’ve been using. NCPR’s Doyle Dean reached out to learn more about the five-piece from Plattsburgh who recently recorded their first album. Guitarist Eli Moore says the band made the most of the opportunity the pandemic presented.
