Since 1999, Siskiyou Summit has performed it’s special brand of bluegrass music to a growing fan base in the Pacific Northwest. The band has the benefit of six strong singers and instrumentalists as well as song writers and arrangers. This is very unusual for any band, especially one so far, geographically, from the origins of this uniquely American music. The band members have decades of individual musical performance experience. Siskiyou Summit members are Jeff Jones on mandolin, Glenn Freese on guitar, and Bob Evoniuk on Dobro (all formerly with the entertaining bluegrass group, Foxfire) Crystal Reeves on fiddle (formerly with the national touring acoustic group, the Robin Flower Band), Jim Calhoun on upright bass, and Rick Nelson (formerly with the Rogue Valley Bluegrass Boys) on banjo.
Siskiyou Summit has performed at major festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest: Britt Music Festival, Tacoma, Washington’s “Wintergrass”, three years at the Oregon State Bluegrass Festival, the Oregon Coast Music Festival, the American Music Festival, Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival and many regional community concerts. Siskiyou Summit has also developed and performed a wildly popular “O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?” show to sold out houses. The band has become one of the most entertaining bands to make the Southern Oregon music scene in years.
Recorded in 2003, Siskiyou Summit’s first CD release “From the Top” exemplified the band’s variety of musical tastes with songs ranging from Ralph Stanley to Johnny Nash as well as several original songs. The band’s most resent release, “Breakdown”, displays the groups song writing and arranging abilities featuring nine original songs. The CD also includes an excellent live recorded show that demonstrates the band’s performance mastery and its ability to connect with an audience in a warm and genuine manner.
A Siskiyou Summit concert always includes powerful vocals, instrumental mastery, exceptional song writing and a performance that is sure to be remembered.
