Stillhouse Junkies and Never Come Down Trio at Troutlake Hall
Acoustic adventurers Stillhouse Junkies explore the worlds between roots, bluegrass, Texas swing, blues, and rock. Their free-flowing musical interplay and improvisation make every show unique as they weave their way through high-energy, intricately composed original songs, never taking the same path twice. Based in the Southwestern Colorado town of Durango, the band consists of founder Fred Kosak on guitar and mandolin and longtime member Alissa Wolf on fiddle. They’ve recently been joined by Nederland, CO’s Matt Thomas on upright bass and Nashville, TN’s Eric Lee on mandolin, guitar, and fiddle. Lee and Thomas formerly played together in the award-winning band Man About a Horse.
Formed in 2017, Never Come Down was born from the vibrant if not occasionally overlooked music scene of Portland, Oregon. Much like the city that inspired them, they’re a smart, charming, off-beat amalgam of varied backgrounds and tastes. In today’s paradoxical world where honoring tradition is often pitted against exploration and innovation, the band confidently walks the line between the modern and the tried-and-true. They’ve gained a loyal following and continue to win over audiences everywhere from Reykjavik’s Iceland Airwaves to San Francisco’s acclaimed Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. They’ve gained the attention of industry veterans, and toured in support of notable acts such as Yonder Mountain String Band and The Travelin’ McCourys, among others. Never Come Down’s live performance never disappoints- with showmanship, originality, songwriting and musical prowess far beyond their years. The Never Come Down Trio is comprised of Crystal Lariza (vocals), Joe Suskind (guitar), and Kaden Hurst (mandolin).
