High Lonesome at Swallow Hill Music

“Bristling with vocal, instrumental and songwriting talent with hard-driving live shows that are just plain danceable fun, High Lonesome is the latest breath of fresh music to spring from Colorado’s legendary bluegrass scene,” this is how Veteran Bluegrass journalist, John Lehndorff, described the band in his review of High Lonesome’s debut self-titled album. Named “Ten of the Top Colorado Bluegrass Bands” in Denver Westword by Nick Hutchinson, this Front Range band combines a pleasing mash of dobro, fiddle, guitar, bass, and mandolin. High Lonesome seeks to put a new spin on good old hard-driving bluegrass by way of tight harmonies, melodic original material, and an expansive reach that takes in music from various realms, including jazz and jam influences as well as traditional bluegrass.
