Winners of the International Bluegrass Music Association?s 2021 Band Momentum Award, Stillhouse Junkies perform an entertaining blend of bluegrass, Americana, Western Swing and country roots. This talented American trio has released three albums to date and recently signed to Nashville's Dark Shadow Recording label.   Fred Kosak (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Alissa Wolf (fiddle, vocals) and Cody Tinnin (double bass, vocals) combine outstanding musicianship, classic harmonies, fine original songs and a dynamic stage presence.

Born out of a long-standing residency at a distillery in Durango, Colorado, Stillhouse Junkies have built a loyal following in their home state and across the American bluegrass scene. They were finalists in the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival band contest in 2018 and 2019, and showcase artists at the virtual IBMA event in 2020. They travelled to North Carolina for the 2021 return of the real life International Bluegrass conference and festival, where they wowed audiences with their showcase performances and won the Band Momentum Award.

Stillhouse Junkies spent several years performing an average of 250 shows a year before the pandemic brought touring to a standstill, and they?ve kept busy over the last two years with creative ways to continue bringing their music to fans. They performed a programme of front-yard gigs in their home town of Durango, and produced the online series Sidecar. Now back on the road and with their new album due for release later this year, Stillhouse Junkies are sure to win many new fans on their first visit to Europe.
