Kewl Kewl! Awesome, you guys. First thing I saw when I opened up the laptop. Outstanding! Dig Deep Rules! Sharing on all platforms...Happy Halloween! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

When you're young boys heading out to trick-or-treat, you dress up like super heroes. When you grow up, you dress like Art Stevenson & High Water, which isn't too far off!

While you're here, if you weren't able to pick up tickets to our sold out album release party this Saturday, worry not! We have our new album Live In Denver available on all streaming platforms this Saturday!

I'd like to give a heartfelt Thank You to all who attended the 15th Annual Bluegrass In The Pines Festival at the Portage County Fair Grounds - Rosholt, WI last weekend! The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time at the show and around the fairgrounds. There were so many smiling faces! The featured bands brought their outstanding music and energy to the main stage, and the Saturday workshops were well-attended. Our staff of volunteers worked tirelessly at the ticket gate, driving the golf cart shuttles, and with setup and takedown of the stage. I'd like to especially thank Chris Martin and the Rosholt Fair Association for welcoming us with open arms and for being such gracious hosts. Chris is the most energetic person I know, and he worked around the clock as the host of Rosholt Fair Park. The fair grounds have been home to Bluegrass In The Pines for 15 years and we hope to be there for many, many more. The 16th Annual Bluegrass In The Pines Festival is planned for Aug. 21, 22, and 23, 2025! It just keeps getting better and better - we'll see you all at next year's Bluegrass In The Pines!
