"This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks
and multimedia computer files. Bering Strait: Natasha Borzilova (vocals,
acoustic guitar); Ilya Toshinsky (electric guitar, banjo, background
vocals); Alexander "Sasha" Ostrovsky (lap steel guitar, steel guitar, dobro);

(bass); Alexander Arzamastev (drums).Additional personnel includes: Vince
Gill (background vocals).Producers: Brent Maher, Tony Brown, Stan
Cornelius.Recorded at Moraine, Creative & Cartee Day Studios, Nashville,
Tennessee."Bearing Straight" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for
Best Country Instrumental Performance.The name chosen for this country music
sextet of Russian ex-pats, taken from the submerged land bridge between
Russia and Alaska, is rife with symbolism, as they've chosen to pursue a
musical path that's led them from a classical music conservatory right into
the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. Most of the band's self-titled debut is
contemporary, radio-friendly fare. Lead singer Natasha Borzilova belies nary
a hint of a Russian accent and instead falls somewhere between sounding like
Pam Tillis and Faith Hill on ballads like "I Could Be Persuaded" and "I'm
Not Missing You" as well as more up-tempo numbers like "When Going Home" and
"Tell Me Tonight." Hints of the band's other talents can be heard on the
live, mid-tempo "Like a Child" and "Bearing Straight," the Bela
Fleck-flavored instrumental that nabbed these Obninsk natives a Grammy
nomination. Bering Strait's cultural exchange works to the point where their
inclusion of the Russian-sung country song "Porushka-Paranya" flows as
effortlessly as anything by the Dixie Chicks or any other Nashville act." -

"'The Ballad of Bering Strait' is a cinema-verite film following seven Russian teenagers who have come to America to become country music stars. Principle photography began in July 1999 when the band, Bering Strait, entered the United States and began recording their first album in Nashville. The film documents the band responding to the twists and turns of the recording industry, rehearsing for their tour, preparing for their debut concert at the Grand Ole Opry, charting the course for their career with their managers, and living every-day life on the farm where they reside in rural Tennessee. The crew traveled with the band to their homes in Obninsk, Russia and to their music conservatories in Moscow, documenting how these two girls and five boys became so adept at playing American country music. The film culminates with the band's arrival on the U.S. stage at Wolf Trap National Park. "The Ballad of Bering Strait" is a two and a half year epic that follows Bering Strait's amazing cultural fusion-coming of age journey in America." - Emerging Pictures |

"'While many new acts eminating out of Music Row struggle to concoct a 'story' that will help sell their music, Bering Strait comes complete with a story so compelling it's already inspired 'The Ballad of Bering Strait,' an acclaimed documentary film. When their self-titled 2003 debut album picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance, the press and the public begain to talk less about their funny accents and hard-to-pronounce names and more about what mattered - the extraordinary music of this Russian-born, bluegrass-bred band. With sublime country-soul harmonies, relentless rhythms and flaming dobro licks, PAGES, Bering Strait's sophomore release fulfills the adventurous musical promise of their amazing story." - Press Release |
