Never Come Down

“It was such an honor to produce this record, and I can’t wait for the world to learn what this amazing band is all about”. -Chris Pandolfi , The Infamous Stringdusters

“I became an instant fan of this band upon hearing their set at Northwest String Summit in 2022.” Alan Bartram , The Travelin’ McCoury’s

Weaving together modern and traditional styles of American music, Never Come Down is a Portland, Oregon based 5-piece composed of Joe Suskind (guitar), Crystal Lariza (vocals), Brian Alley (banjo), Kaden Hurst (mandolin), and Ben Ticknor (bass). Their dedication to thoughtful songwriting and dynamic arrangements highlight polished technical skills and a commitment to listening to each other. Formed in 2018, the band began touring extensively- steadily cultivating a passionate fan base at home in the Pacific Northwest, and eventually around the country. NCD released their first studio album “Better Late Than Never” in 2021 and their second LP “Greener Pastures” released late 2023. They’ve toured internationally and have found acclaim at festivals such as Iceland Airwaves, Picking in the Pines, John Hartford Memorial Fest, Americanafest, FreshGrass and RockyGrass.
