About the artists
Neo-bluegrass group Crooked Still combines four musicians with distinguished
backgrounds and connections. Singer Aoife O'Donovan, a graduate of the New
England Conservatory, is also a member of the Wayfaring Strangers. Cellist
Rushad Eggleston, the first string student admitted to the Berklee College of
Music on a full scholarship, also performs with Fiddlers 4 and Darol Anger's
American Fiddle Ensemble while also leading his own Wild Band of Snee. Banjo
player Greg Liszt, a Ph.D. candidate in biology at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, also plays with the Wayfaring Strangers and the Jake Armerding
Band. And double bassist Corey DiMario, also a member of the Lissa
Schneckenburger Band, has played in prestigious venues around the U.S. with
such notable performers as Liz Carroll and McCoy Tyner.
The four came together as Crooked Still in September 2001 when O'Donovan
was asked to assemble a group for an informal concert at the New England
Conservatory. Over the next few years, they developed a following in New
England before releasing their debut album, Hop High, in February 2005. Their
second release, Shaken by a Low Sound, followed a year later. ~ William
