Stevens Mill

Stevens Mill specializes in providing live and original entertainment for mixed genre events. The Band utilizes a combination of acoustic and electric instrumentation with the latest in sound reinforcement technology to provide a unique and powerful sound. Band instrumentation includes: Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Violin, Banjo, Upright Bass, Peruvian Cajon, Celtic Bodhran, Cans and Roland Electric Drum Kit. Sound Reinforcement employs dual Bose L1 Cylindrical amplification systems with quad woofers for crystal clear sound quality and perfect control over sound levels.

Stevens Mill has entertained a wide-variety of fans, both young and old, at hundreds of live performances in the Southeast region.

The band's leader, veteran singer/songwriter and ex-rocker Rob Webster, has focused on his acoustic side over the past two decades. His unique syncopations and signature licks have built a strong following in the Charlotte area. In 2005 Webster pulled together top local musicians including Master Fiddler Glen Alexander, Percussionist Bill Loelius, and Bassist, Bob Blichmann, to form Stevens Mill. One might say that Stevens Mill has not been so much about “evolution” but rather “devolution”.

The “devolution” has continued as the band has focused on all acoustic instrumentation augmented by occasional electronic percussion to create a truly unique and memorable listening experience.

In short, strong songs with mind-bending instrumentals make for a great show. Stevens Mill has both and will keep you wanting more!

Rob Webster— Veteran singer-songwriter and guitarist that will coin a song with a tasteful lick as quick as he will a rhyme. An acoustic specialist Webster is established within the local area as one of “Charlottes Best” both as a solo and group performer.

Bob “The Professor” Blichmann; Bob is a virtuoso on the upright bass, sings backup vocals, and lays down a strong backbone for this diverse group. The professor’s ability to tastefully mirror Webster’s often dissonant acoustic voicing surrounds the audience with the truly unique sound that is Stevens Mill.

Bill “Fingers” Loelius; one of the original founders of the Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps, Bill is a percussion specialist who incorporates a variety of eclectic acoustic percussive instruments with state of the art electronic drum technology.

Master Fiddler, Glen Alexander; Glen is an award winning virtuoso who has been four-time “Galax Fiddle Champion” and “Fiddler of the Festival” at Fiddlers Cove. He accompanies the band on violin and mandolin. Glen has the ability to “stop” the room with mind bending solos and tasteful accompaniments.
