Biography

High Fidelity offers listeners a chance to experience the riveting energy and grit of early bluegrass without sacrificing precision in vocals and musicianship. Where many other bands offer a mere imitation of the past, High Fidelity presents a meaningful interpretation that captures the true essence of the music they learned from the genre’s early masters. Every note of their performance is delivered with meaning, reverence, and undeniable talent.

High Fidelity has been influenced by many of the bluegrass greats, including Jim & Jesse. “The South Bound Train,” the 1st single from the band’s forthcoming release Banjo Player’s Blues, is a Jim & Jesse original that was recorded in the 1960s but not released commercially until the 1990s. Reimagined here with twin banjos, it is a high-intensity number featuring the trademark vocal trio of High Fidelity’s Jeremy Stephens, Corrina Rose Logston, and Kurt Stephenson.

“Everything about ‘The South Bound Train’ just screamed High Fidelity to me, including the fact that it had been all but forgotten in the bluegrass collective consciousness,” says Corrina. “It was such a strong song, especially with their arrangement, I thought, we can’t not record this! Their version is led predominately by the banjo, and given High Fidelity’s love for the banjo, we wanted to put our spin on the song utilizing twin banjos. We have a history for pushing our own limits in this band, and I love the intensity of Jeremy and Kurt singing and playing banjo at the same time on such an up-tempo number!”
