Alternative Folk
West End Junction is an alternative folk duo from St. Louis, MO, comprised of Cara Ristau (vocals, keys, and percussion) and Dan Ristau (guitar). The pair met in 2014 in a south St. Louis apartment jam session through mutual friends. Unable to stay away from the music that brought them together, they created the name West End Junction in 2019. Their music, heavily influenced by folk, Americana, and indie country, has been described as "haunting" by Gesso Magazine and "ethereal" by Grateful Web. Lyricist Cara Ristau's words often reflect themes around social justice and spiritualism with a particular focus on climate change. Known around St. Louis for their use of loop pedals and onstage chemistry, they play often at a variety of local venues including listening rooms, breweries, and farmer's markets.
