About Never Come Down:
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.
About Tonewood String Band:
Tonewood String Band is a unique bluegrass quintet based in Denver, Colorado. They focus on complex vocal harmonies, impressive group improvisations, and a seamless blend of Middle Eastern melodies and Cajun rhythms that differentiates their sound from the standard Colorado bluegrass scene.
The band did a Kickstarter in 2024 to fund their first album and successfully raised over $30,000 to bring the project to life. They began recording in early spring of 2025 after hiring esteemed local musician and producer, Tyler Grant, for the project. The album was recorded at Swingfingers Studios in Fort Collins and was mastered by Grammy award-winning David Glasser at Airshow Mastering. Tonewood released their debut full-length album, Heart of the Pretender, in November 2025.
Tonewood String Band consists of George Sepmeier (fiddle, mandolin), Evan Shely (guitar), Elijah Donovan (banjo), Matt Thomas (upright bass) and Steve Lisi (cajon).
