about
Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin a group of pissed off bluegrass pickers decided they wanted to change bluegrass for all mankind. They failed to do so. Now, they just continue their barnstorm of the Mid-West in hopes of one day to play a song so fast, that it actually disrupts the space-time-continuum. The seeds were sown for the EverGreen Grass Band in 2008 and cultivated throughout the fertile musical grounds of Eau Claire, WI. The 5 members of the band, including Chicago import Steve Bateman (harmonica), gathered their traditional bluegrass instruments and grew into one of the most sought after non-traditional bluegrass acts on the Northwood's musical frontier. Whether headlining a show or opening for such national acts as Trampled By Turtles, .357 String Band, Pert Near Sandstone or Cornmeal, just to name a few, the band has discovered that once they play a venue they are likely to get invited back. This pattern played out throughout 2010 as these self-proclaimed "not quite a bluegrass band" musicians spent the festival season barnstorming the Midwest building their fan base and promoting their first CD, "For Sheriff". 2010 saw the release of their much-awaited CD, which received critical acclaim in Volume One, Eau Claire's art and entertainment magazine. Shortly thereafter, EverGreen was voted "Best Bluegrass Band" in the same publication's annual reader poll. "For Sheriff" is a first rate production highlighting the songwriting skills of Tim Litscher (guitar, vocals)
