We know you love some bluegrass! These gents hail from southwest Colorado and are making the return to tear it up at The Backstage!

Steepland String Band is a high altitude bluegrass band born deep in the mighty San Juan Mountain Range of southwestern Colorado, and refined on the prairie of the Front Range. 'Steepland' is a fast driving, hard picking acoustic quartet that explores a vast multitude of musical genres, while managing to stay rooted in bluegrass tradition. The band was created around the love for and dedication to live music, and since their inception have committed themselves to creating a unique style of their own. They have managed to carve a niche in a genre of increasingly similar sounds by drawing from an extensive library of covers, and a continually expanding catalogue of original material, treating each show as a unique experience that successfully engages audiences and keeps them coming back for more. From the slap-style upright bass, to the piercing mandolin solos, Scruggs-style banjo rolls, driving guitar leads, and lonesome single-mic vocal harmonies, Steepland String Band is definitely right at home in Colorado's community of progressive acoustic aficionados and dedicated bluegrass show-goers.
