Stillhouse Orchestra

Often strengthened by the addition of visiting members, especially Nathan Gallagher on piano or organ, this quirky two piece bluegrass band are all about the soulful, scratchy vocals of Tia Maria. The band is the creation of Tia Maria and guitarist Rib Eye Jake.

Their music is a fairly obscure mix of bluegrass and country through to mellow swing and blues thanks to the varied musical tastes of Maria and Jake. The band have been playing live for around a year in venues ranging from cabaret clubs and acoustic bars to the Regents Park Bandstand and retro and swing dance nights.

The set can vary from a laid back mix of classic swing and blues covers and original songs to a foot stomping raucous hoedown or, as most gigs are, a happy blend of the two.
