Still House String Band
WINNERS OF THE 2024 TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL BAND CONTEST The Still House String Band is the up-and-coming progressive bluegrass band you need to check out. After playing for years as the “house band” for the Peach Street Distillery in Palisade Colorado they became “The Still House String Band.” This western slope band plays original songs that tell of modern love, heartbreak, and the scenery of the high Colorado desert that they call home. There is an indescribable pulse that can be felt through the subconscious manipulation of strings, rhythm, harmony, and lyrics that emanate from the band. A vibe that is born from years of connection with fellow festivarians and the high lonesome sounds of the past that echo through early morning sunshine over the Colorado River. With the wind at their back and friends along the way, the sky is the limit for this group of original performers. It’s a long way from here to over yonder, you should hitch a ride with The Still House String Band.
