30-Minute Music Hour

Art Stevenson and Highwater

From Babcock, Wis., Art Stevenson is the Midwest's preeminent practitioner of hard driving, traditional bluegrass music. Along with his wife, Stephanie, on string bass, the duo sing powerful harmonies that transcend the most urgent callings of mountain music. The quartet is rounded out by Dale Reichert — one of the Midwest's masters of the five-string banjo — and Bruce King, a breathtaking rhythm and solo player on mandolin. The 30-Minute Music Hour is proud to help Highwater kick-off their non-stop spring and summer festival season.
