About the Band!
Art
Stevenson & High Water are Wisconsin's best-known bluegrass show, and
have been in demand throughout the Midwest festival circuit since 1993. 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 Reichert, and the hard-driving mandolin picking of Bruce King.
They have released six albums: “Art Stevenson & High Water” (1996), “Dusty
Boxcar Wall” (1998), “Lonely Days” (2000), “The Winding Stream” (2001), “Like A
River” (2004), and "New Ground" (2006). 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 Art and
Stephanie Stevenson 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 blend of traditional bluegrass numbers, originals,
contemporary songs, and instrumentals satisfies a wide range of music lovers!
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!
