ORIGINAL WEST COAST BLUEGRASS MUSIC
Emerging from the Northern California bluegrass scene in 2017, The High Water Line has become a staple in the San Francisco Bay Area, adding their distinctive groove-forward style to the ever evolving West Coast bluegrass sound.
While their music is steeped in the time-honored Northern California bluegrass tradition, The High Water Line reaches into the music of country, soul, swing, and blues, creating clever arrangements and a unique sound that’s all their own.
Their line-up features Jim Toggweiler’s grooving and unconventional electric bass style, TJ Carskadon’s hard-hitting and steadfast mandolin, Tyler Stegall’s driving and colorful banjo, Clare Armenante’s swinging and melodic fiddle playing, and Ian Ly’s powerful guitar. The High Water Line gives new life to old bluegrass standards; offers refreshing approaches to more modern country and bluegrass numbers; and writes heartfelt and compelling originals.
