The Get Ahead

“Last night was not the best night, but it wasn’t the worst night either,” admits Nathan Earle. His wife, Juliet Howard, hums in agreement. Though the two create powerhouse Americana Soul and shimmering indie roots music as part of Portland, Oregon’s The Get Ahead, they’re not recalling a so-so show at a local venue. Instead, Nathan and Juliet are transitioning to parenthood with the often-insomnious reality of caring for their five-week-old daughter.
