Well Strung band: Bluegrass with a 20 year legacy
Jeff Scheller has been a member of the bluegrass band Well Strung for almost 20 years. Throughout time there have been endless local shows, four CDs and changes in the lineup, but the spirit of the band has stayed the same: a group of people who love the genre.
“Well Strung is one huge songwriting family. This is an open-minded songwriting collective,” he said. “We can play a big show with all original songs.”
Well Strung initially was made up of Scheller, who plays upright bass, and Matt French and Kevin Ondriezek. Their first major gig was in 2003 at the January Ice Jam, the famous bluegrass music festival at the former Butler Days Inn.
