The world-class musicians in Big Richard initially convened in 2021 for a festival date. The quartet showed up to the one-off like it had been together for years, bursting with jaw-dropping virtuosity; playfully irreverent stage banter; stunning four-part harmony vocal interlace; imaginative arrangements; a refreshingly eclectic repertoire; and a healthy dose of lady rage.
Quickly things for the Colorado-based, neo-acoustic supergroup morphed into something way bigger than a one-and-done appearance. The sellout club shows, and the confirmed festival dates across America drastically changed its members’ lives. Now, Big Richard is poised to penetrate the Americana music world and beyond. To date, the quartet has issued 3 singles, the Live from Telluride album, and it has new music on the way.
The Still House String Band biography
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. The band recorded a series of original songs in the E-Town studio in Boulder in November and are planning their first studio release in the Spring. With the wind at their back and friends along the way, the sky’s 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.
