In addition to traditional folk songs from around the world, Held Together features bombastic tracks that have been staples from their live sets, as well as original compositions that reflect a conscientiousness to singable melodies.
Held Together features Multi Grammy-winning drummer Antonio Sanchez (Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Birdman), as well as bassist Adam Neely, who hosts a 1.6 million+ subscriber music channel on YouTube.
Aberdeen features a brass section with jazz elements, paired with production and songwriting influences from pop music of today. Held Together is produced by Aberdeen’s bandleader and alto saxophonist Brian Plautz.
Aberdeen’s concerts often feature musicians spilling off of the stage into the audience—and a similarly large ensemble is featured on the album. Aberdeen’s music is about community; a large collective of musicians and collaborators; with the hope of sharing its music to audiences around the world.
