1. Fruition (Portland, OR) has been showcasing their captivating brand of Folk, Soul, Grass and Rock 'n Roll to the West Coast since 2008. In the last few years they have expanded to the greater US scene, playing theaters, bars, street corners and Music Festivals all over the country (SXSW, High Sierra Music Fest, Yarmony Grass, String Summit, Oregon Country Fair, Omaha Summerfest and many more.)
This year they're hitting it even harder - they opened for Railroad Earth at the Crystal Ballroom (Portland, OR) for NYE, and are venturing out on a several-month tour that will hit all corners of the USA. They've shared stages with a range of popular bands- ALO, Greensky Bluegrass, Yonder Mountain Stringband, Scott Law, Everclear, Railroad Earth, Furthur, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Leftover Salmon, Elephant Revival, Hot Buttered Rum, Delhi 2 Dublin, Infamous Stringdusters, Great American Taxi, Danny Barnes, Head for the Hills, and many many more.
In June of 2013, they will be putting out a new full-length album that will surely thrust them from opening-slots and small stages to headlining gigs and large capacity venues.

2. Having recently supported The View, Larrikin Love, The Rifles, The Modern and The Holloways, Fruition are taking great pleasure in giving their music to the masses. They take to the stage with a great energy and always entertain. All from a little village called Pirton the boys strive to bring a sense of community and passion to the procedings
The band has worked hard on creating their own style influenced by rather than sounding like the bands that have inspired the individual members. They also work hard in the studio to make the tunes released give people the same energy they feel at the live shows. Not content with what they have got they are going out to grab everyone and get them jumping.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I laid my head down on the rail
well these tracks they must run near you, ‘cause I swear that I could hear you, singing
and I wish I couldn't say, since you been away
well I don't feel like I know myself
yes and when I get to thinkin 'bout it, it just turns to drinkin 'bout it, over and over again
oh why, oh why, do I let myself cry, over you?
get out of my head, give me back my heart Mountain Annie
now in the flicker of a candle's flame, smoke that rises spells your name
and then it disappears
and my hearts grown tired of beatin, and my lips are tired of speakin, so I won't
and the sky must know, the way that these things go because it's raining like it's never gonna stop
and if this flood comes running through, Lord I hope I can float away from you and break these chains
