Charlie Stevens Band

About

A Fort Collins bluegrass five-piece fronted by guitarist Charlie Stevens, a University of Northern Colorado music performance grad with a dual emphasis in classical and bluegrass guitar. The band rounds out with Clarke Wright on fiddle, Nate Swartz on mandolin, Dana Giove on bass, and Ron Lynam on banjo. Their sets pull from traditional bluegrass (Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers), progressive players like David Grisman and John Hartford, and rock touchstones from the Grateful Dead to Billy Strings; the result lands somewhere between traditionalist and jamgrass.
