Everest Rising Live at Grooms Tavern

On Saturday, November 5th, 2022, Everest Rising celebrated its 12th Anniversary with a sold out live concert at the historic Grooms Tavern in Rexford, NY. We captured a live recording of the concert performance, and although the recording is not professional audiophile quality it nevertheless captures the energy and spirit of the evening. We are pleased to share this live recording with all of you, and thank you for your support!

You can listen to the entire live concert below. The tunes will play in sequence, or you can skip ahead.

Chasing Ghosts (EP)

This musical collection is the result of the creative chemistry between the members of Everest Rising. Stemming from the pen of Dale Wade-Keszey, these five songs evolved into the renditions offered here through a combination of musical experimentation and refinement resulting in a rich tapestry surrounding each story concept.

“Chasing Ghosts” is both the title track and a theme, as all of these songs relate to something missed, missing, or imagined. These are universal stories about longing, regret, and the cycles of life. The story characters are sometimes real and sometimes fictional… not unlike the ghosts we chase.

Riverview Ramblers Legacy Downloads

The Riverview Ramblers were a local bluegrass band active in New York’s Capital Region from the early 2000’s to 2011. All members of Everest Rising were previously in the Riverview Ramblers. Bill was a founding member, Dale joined shortly thereafter in 2004, Pete joined in early 2005, and Trevor replaced Gene in early 2009. Other band members included Mike, Mindy, Matt, Ken and Josh – although not all at the same time. Many of our loyal Everest Rising fans have been with us since the Riverview Ramblers days. We are excited to be making the Riverview Ramblers “First Harvest” album available again as a download. Looking ahead, we hope to further mine the back-catalog of archival Riverview Ramblers recordings to create some “basement tapes.” We will keep you posted!

First Harvest

Recorded in 2005 at Cotton Hill Studios, this bluegrass album featured a variety of great tunes including the classic “Carolina in the Pines,” “You Plant Your Fields,” “Roll, Mohawk, Roll”, “Railroad Line” and many more. Gosh we had fun making this one! The download includes four bonus studio tracks never before released! Go grab yourself a copy and enjoy!
