Sugar Maple welcomes Art Stevenson & High Water

The Sugar Maple Music Festival welcomes Art Stevenson & High Water to Madison, WI.

Saturday, April 27 at 8:00pm at the Winnebago

Guitarist, harmonicist, and lead singer Art Stevenson has been playing bluegrass music in the Midwest for 40 years, and was with the award-winning Wisconsin River Bluegrass Boys from 1982 to 1996. He has appeared on WSM's Midnight Jamboree, Bill Monroe's Early Bird Bluegrass Show, the IBMA Fan Fest, and the Renfro Valley Jamboree. Art organized High Water in 1993, and has contributed several original songs to the High Water repertoire. He has appeared on a dozen different bluegrass, country, and folk music CDs and cassette albums.

Stephanie Stevenson plays string bass, guitar, and sings lead and tenor in close duets with her husband Art. Rounder recording artist James King calls Stephanie "a female Paul Williams!" Her rock solid bass playing gives High Water's music a strong rhythmic drive. Stephanie's original songs are some of High Water's most frequent requests. Her voice has been described as "a marvelously supple instrument."

Dale Reichert keeps the drive alive on the ol' five. He also sings baritone and bass vocals, plays the Dobro, and is featured on all of High Water's recordings.

Bruce King, mandolin and vocals, joined High Water in March 2001. Bruce has lived in Wisconsin for most of his life, and has played with many of the state's best known bluegrass bands, including Alive And Pickin', The Rounders, Jerry Wicentowski, and Blue Eagle.
