Album Notes

PEYTON TOCHTERMAN AND HIGH SOCIETY is creating new standards, new sounds, and new music for the modern times. With mandolin, drums and percussion, acoustic guitar and vocals, electric guitar, accordion, bass, and trumpet, HS is pushing the boundaries of acoustic music through an unusual combination of instruments and cutting edge social commentary. As Rhythm and Root's Charlene Tipton notes: "The collective talents of High Society added a level of heart-pumping energy and superb musicianship to Bristol's Rhythm & Roots Reunion that left fans literally panting for more! Their infectious and tasteful blend instruments emptied seats and had everyone up and dancing from the first note to the last!”

"Culling its members from the hidden gems in a bustling music scene, Peyton Tochterman And High Society tastefully combines focused song-writing with unusual instrumentation and stunning musicianship. The result is something uniquely satisfying, yet oddly familiar," writes recording engineer Jack Gray.

This recording is energetic, original, and most assuredly uncompromised by the cookie cutter mentality that plagues much of today’s music.
