"The SPPS is awesome - just what the www.com has been needing for a long time - a haven for the starving steam powered."
Billy Bright (Mandolin, Mandola & Vocals)

"Its a great feeling to know that the SPPS is there, dedicated to preserving this particular musical culture, sitting on all those old tapes (and gathering all these new ones!) and doing everything they can to share them with anyone and everyone. We're thrilled to be a part of it all,
thanks guys!"
Geoff Union (Lead Guitar & Vocals)

In the short amount of time that they have been playing as a trio, Two High String Band has unearthed a sound that is fascinating audiences all over the country. People are amazed that such a wide spectrum of intensity and tonality can be generated with two guitars and one mandolin. Two High String Band's dedication to songwriting and live performance is converting all types of music lovers into Two High String Band fans.

Their latest release, "Moonshine Boogie" (on Blue Corn Music), builds upon the instrumental craftsmanship of their first CD, and exemplifies a maturity in songwriting and singing that can only be reached through time on the road. With great harmonies, unexpected instrumental twists, and stirring tales, "Moonshine Boogie" is a twelve song journey, capturing mandolinist Billy Bright, and guitarists Brian Smith and Geoff Union as a trio, quartet, quintet, and sextet with banjo great Tony Trischka (Psychograss, etc.), fiddler Chojo Jacques (Waybacks), and upright bassist Eric Thorin (Open Road) joining them.

Their first release on Bluecorn Records, "Insofarasmuch" (2003), included guest appearances by bluegrass legends David Grisman and Vassar Clements. The "Insofarasmuch" tour took them all over the United States, including performances at Rockygrass, Merlefest, Springfest, and a few shows with Vassar Clements on the fiddle!

Two High is spearheading their own revival of traditional acoustic music. They hit the ground running in 2006 with a brand new CD, “Moonshine Boogie”. In stores February 21st on Bluecorn Records.

Working together as a trio for just about a year now, Two High String Band has developed a sound that has fascinated audiences across the country. Folks seem to be amazed that such a wide spectrum of intensity and tonality can be generated with just two guitars and a mandolin. Their dedication to songwriting and live performance has converted an array of music lovers, including jamband fans, adamant traditionalists, and folk and bluegrass lovers of all persuasions into Two High String Band Fans.
