STILLHOUSE are a progressive and inventive acoustic trio based in
York. The line-up features mandolin, guitar, double bass and vocal trio
ensemble, presenting original songs and instrumental material with roots in
bluegrass and contemporary folk. Captivating & thoughtful original
compositions and impressively stylish. The band members are Jonny Neaves
(guitar, vocals) and Polly Bolton (mandolin, vocals) who have been collaborating
since their teens and Matthew Mefford (double bass) who has roots in his
hometown of Austin, Texas and spent the years before his move to the UK touring
the States with bluegrass/jazz/folk quartet MilkDrive. Together, they have created a
captivating and complex sound characterised by melodic original songs alongside
soaring mandolin, guitar and bass-led instrumental pieces with roots in
bluegrass, old time, folk melodies and beautiful songwriting.
"They're all such amazing players. It's a rare thing these days,
but they do it with finesse and style and it's never showboaty, just pure class"
- Chris Helme

2017 marked the first anniversary of the band, as well as the release
of their first 7-track EP, Love is the
Weight. The trio has been busy sharing this first offering with their
burgeoning audiences across the UK and are looking forwards to releasing their
first full length album in 2018. Not only are they capable of writing and
arranging top drawer songs, they have the additional instrumental chops to go
with it. This trio will soon be causing a stir. Wonderful musicianship and
superbly well-arranged material; Stillhouse completely captivate their audience
from the first note they play.
"Rich with the tone and feel of dark
Americana, but the vocal style, lyrical content and wry humour set it apart. The
production and performance is polished; a confident release from a talented band
of musicians." - FATEA
