5 Letter Word

Harmony-driven folk band from Portland, OR
Mix three singer-songwriters, several stringed instruments, and a variety of percussive techniques, and you get Five Letter Word. Made up of Leigh Jones (vocals, guitar, percussion), Megan Alder (vocals, guitar) and Audra Nemir (vocals, bass), this Portland, OR-based trio of powerful women draws on influences such as The Wailin’ Jennys, The Chicks, and The Wood Brothers, blending their signature harmonies into a sound that is “uniquely infectious” and show that is “delightful, with a few unexpected twists.” Winners of the 2018 Northwest String Summit Band Competition, Five Letter Word have toured extensively in the US and abroad, and their album ‘Siren’ debuted at #17 on the National Folk DJ Chart for January 2019.
