Port O'Brien are an American musical group combining elements of Acoustic, Folk and Indie rock.

They are named after a bay featuring a now-abandoned cannery on Kodiak Island where Van's parents met, and started as a folk music duo of Cambria Goodwin and Van Pierszalowski while Cambria was living in Cambria, California and Van was living in Oakland. After Cambria moved closer to Oakland they added a rhythm section comprised of Caleb Nichols and Joshua Barnhart.

The band has toured nationally with artists such as Nada Surf, Bright Eyes and The Cave Singers and toured europe with Modest Mouse, as well as receiving critical acclaim, with M. Ward naming Port O'Brien his "favorite new band" on Pitchfork Media [ [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/41189-guest-list-m-ward M. Ward | Pitchfork ] ] , as well as favourable reviews from Pitchfork Media [ [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/45328-the-wind-and-the-swell The Wind and the Swell | Pitchfork ] ] , Allmusic, [ [http://wc09.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:f9foxz9gldde allmusic ((( The Wind and the Swell > Overview ))) ] ] and The Times. [Jelbert, Steve (2008) "Port O'Brien - All We Could Do Was Sing" (review), The Times, 2 August 2008]

To date the band has released two albums; a compilation of self-recorded and early tracks called "the Wind and the Swell" on American Dust Records and a studio-recorded album "All We Could Do Was Sing" on City Slang Records.
