ART STEVENSON & HIGH WATER

Art Stevenson & High Water is a four piece bluegrass band from the heart of Wisconsin. The band's bluegrass sound comes from the close duet singing of husband and wife team Art and Stephanie Stevenson, along with the spirited banjo and Dobro playing of Dale Reichet, and the hard-driving mandolin picking of Bruce King. They perform over 100 dates a year, and April 2006 marked the seventh anniversary of their Wednesday night bluegrass show, radio show, and open mic at The Northland Ballroom, Iola, Wis. They have released five albums: “Art Stevenson & High Water” (1996), “Dusty Boxcar Wall” (1998), “Lonely Days” (2000), “The Winding Stream” (2001), and “Like A River” (2004). High Water's music is heard on bluegrass radio programs around the USA and has received critical acclaim in the magazines Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now. Recording artist James King and country music historian Bill Malone agree that the Stevensons rank among the best duet singers active today.
High Water's repertoire is taken from many sources: the bluegrass classics of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers, early country music, mountain songs, and new material. Their performance of traditional bluegrass numbers would satisfy the most stringent purists! Art, Stephanie, and Dale have each written songs or instrumentals frequently performed by the band. The band's mission is to preserve the hard-driving traditional bluegrass sound, while including material from other musical styles. Art and Stephanie's singing, Dale's banjo instrumentals, Bruce's tasteful mandolin, and Art's harmonica tunes always bring a rousing response from the audience. Be sure to watch for Art Stevenson & High Water at a festival or venue near you!
