Northwest Stories is the songwriting duo of Adam Fink and RJ Rouse, based in Meridian, Idaho. Blending folk-pop warmth with modern storytelling, they make music designed to uplift and connect. Influences include Noah Kahan, Hollow Coves, Caamp, Gregory Alan Isakov, Jon Bellion, and Ben Rector.
In true independent spirit, every part of the process happens in-house, from writing and recording to mixing and mastering, so the songs stay personal and unfiltered. Adam and RJ first connected online as fans of each other's work; when Adam moved to Meridian, they met in person, started collaborating, and launched Northwest Stories, releasing their first songs in 2022.
Since then, they've released The Harvest and Eternities, an official selection at the Zions Indie Film Festival, and brought their story concert version of Eternities to the stage. Recent highlights include the placement of "Greener" in Netflix's Virgin River. Through it all, the mission stays simple: make music that's good for you, songs that lift people higher emotionally and spiritually.
