Popular, award-winning US Bluegrass band, High Fidelity, embark on their first Australian tour in October/November this year, headlining Australia's two main Bluegrass festivals, Dorrigo Folk & Bluegrass Festival in NSW and Mountaingrass in Victoria. They'll also be playing a number of individual gigs in NSW, Victoria and the ACT.

High Fidelity was formed in 2014 by Jeremy Stephens (guitar, banjo & lead vocals) and Corrina Logston ( fiddle & vocals). For their 2024 Australian tour they'll be performing as a four-piece, being joined by James McDowell (ex-Carolina Blue) on guitar & banjo, and Ross Sermons on double bass.

Jeremy has played with the world famous country gospel group, The Chuck Wagon Gang, on the television show Ray Stevens’ Nashville, and with Jesse McReynolds & the Virginia Boys. Corrina has worked with a who’s who of today’s traditional-based bluegrass performers, most notably Jesse McReynolds & the Virginia Boys and Jim Lauderdale. Corrina also toured Australia in 2014 as part of Chris Henry's Hardcore Grass, when she impressed bluegrass audiences around the country.

High Fidelity draws much of their inspiration from bands like The Stanley Brothers, The Louvin Brothers, Jim & Jesse, Don Reno & Red Smiley, and a host of lesser known regional artists from the same era. Few bands have come along in recent years that directly draw their influence from that classic era of the music’s history. High Fidelity is a group whose love and devotion to that music is unsurpassed. Many have described them as the new Johnson Mountain Boys, interpreting classic era bluegrass through the fresh, young perspective of today’s generation.
