About Me


CHECK OUT BUCKLEDOWN!!! IT'S A NEW ROCK BAND THAT SASHA AND SERGEI OF BERING STRAIT ARE INVOLVED IN!
While many new acts eminating out of Music Row struggle to concoct a 'story' that will help sell their music, Bering Strait comes complete with a story so compelling it's already inspired 'The Ballad of Bering Strait,' an acclaimed documentary film. When their self-titled 2003 debut album picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance, the press and the public begain to talk less about their funny accents and hard-to-pronounce names and more about what mattered - the extraordinary music of this Russian-born, bluegrass-bred band. With sublime country-soul harmonies, relentless rhythms and flaming dobro licks, PAGES, Bering Strait's sophomore release fulfills the adventurous musical promise of their amazing story.
