Steel String Storytellers paints sonic pictures of life in small town America. Monte’s original Americana compositions are brought to life in a beautiful way through SSS’s nostalgic mix of acoustic guitar and mandolin, behind honest vocals and silky harmonies.

 

Adam Kruzic Growing up in a musical family steeped in the bluegrass tradition, it’s no surprise that Adam Kruzic has become a household name and a sought after side man in the regional bluegrass community.  A masterful mandolin player and backing vocalist who brings tight silky harmonies to the stage, Adam is a welcome addition to any musical endeavor. Now joining forces with Monte Leister to form the Americana duo Steel String Storytellers, Adam is breathing new into Monte’s stories and songs.

 

Monte Leister A lifelong musician, family man, country boy, lover of Jesus, and storyteller, Monte delights in entertaining an audience, standing on stage with a microphone and his guitar makes Monte feel alive, whether it’s swinging with the Monte Leister Quartet, making Christmas bluesy with Bob Cratchit and the Bookkeepers, or sharing his love for small town America with Steel String Storytellers.
