“Gorgeous harmonies and beautiful finger-picking” – Americana UK
Turn Turn Turn bonded over their mutual love of close harmony 60s and 70s country, folk, and pop music. Then, they formed an original Americana band. To create their distinctive sound, the band “turns” to the distant past of early American recorded music. Then, they “turn” again to that renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s. Finally, they “turn” again to the present looking forward.
Members Adam Levy (guitar, vocals) and Barb Brynstad (bass, vocals) are mainstays of the Minnesota music scene. Together, they craft an infectious, pop-infused Americana. Even though Turn Turn Turn was born as a cover band, the group’s original material – sweetheart alt-country folk-pop – quickly stole the spotlight. Here, their Laurel Canyon meets 70s-Nashville-cosmic soul vibe is layered with three-part harmonies that stitch the band’s musical tapestry together.
Adam Levy is a veteran of the Minnesota rock scene, best known for leading up the alt-rock band The Honeydogs. As a prolific songwriter and producer, he has worked across many genres and performed worldwide. Joe Henry called Levy’s solo album Naubinway “love in action. A courageous and generous offering, where ghosts abound, facing the quiet inevitable that forever walks with us. It’s a record with soul and deep compassion. It is a beautiful and remarkable piece of work.”

As a singer, bassist, and guitarist, she has performed with various musicians, including Chastity Brown (folk/Americana).
