ALAMOSA — Sweetwater String Band, a cello driven soulgrass band founded in the Eastern Sierra of California, will perform Wednesday, May 24, at Society Hall located at 400 Ross Ave. in Alamosa. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit societyhall.org.

Mandolinist Scott Roberts and cellist David Huebner write the material, and together with Jeff Meadway on guitar, and Patrick Ferguson on bass, work out the arrangements. They have completed two full-length albums and have a third in the works.

Melding their creative lyrics with their unique style, Sweetwater String Band continues to gain new fans with their live performances and the release of new music videos.  The band has been finishing up a new album set for release later this year. Gideon Thomas of No Depression describes their last album River of Rhymes as: “a work of both intimacy and wide-scale, cinematic vistas…instantly likeable, a truly worthy listen. The songs are great, their playing immaculate, and their approach and subject matters fascinating.”

Sweetwater String Band has performed at numerous high profile events including the Huck Finn Jubilee, Kate Wolf Festival, RapidGrass, YarmonyGrass, Durango Bluegrass Meltdown, Parkfield Bluegrass, Fall Strawberry Music Festival, Millpond Music Festival (3rd appearance), and Lost Sierra Hoedown (second appearance). Cellist David Huebner has a deep classical music background. Starting at the age of 7, he won numerous competitions and performed countless concerts around his home in Los Angeles, including a performance at the Hollywood Bowl, and twice appearing nationally on the Disney Channel.
