The Storytellers, a prominent progressive bluegrass band, has established itself as a creative force in the Southern California Roots Music scene. The band’s extensive repertoire draws from the rich canon of traditional bluegrass, country blues, old-time, and folk music as a basis for inspired improvisations and intrepid vocal harmonies.
The Storytellers’ strong musical chemistry allows them to bring soulful and joyful harmonies, delicate acoustic sensibilities, soaring grooves, tight rhythms, substantive storytelling, and their own hippie, bluegrassy vibe to every stage they stand on.
The band has performed at numerous bluegrass festivals including the Huck Finn Jubilee, the Calico Bluegrass Festival, the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival, and the Desert Bluegrass Festival. In 2024 the band headlined the prestigious Prescott Bluegrass Festival and performed with bluegrass legend Peter Rowan at the Brookdale Bluegrass Festival. The band has regularly appeared at June Lake Jam Fest, and has performed at the Orange County Fair, the Ventura County Fair, and the Antelope Valley Fair, as well as at numerous other regional fairs and festivals.
The band performed a year-long residency at Treasure Island Casino and Resort in Las Vegas in 2022 and has earned residencies at several other distinguished venues. In 2023, The Storytellers became the first bluegrass-style band to perform on one of NAMM’s premier stages.
The band consists of Scott Diehl (Guitar, Vocals), Lance Frantzich (Bass, Vocals), Tyler Emerson (Fiddle, Vocals), David Burns (Banjo, Vocals), Ethan Van Thillo (Mandolin, Vocals), and Steve Stelmach (Washboard, Percussion).

“This outfit is as steeped in values of the past as they are keen on keeping things fresh for today’s listening ear.”
~ The Bluegrass Standard
“The Storytellers seeks to bridge the gap between the traditional bluegrass and jamgrass worlds and have become known for their grassy covers of Grateful Dead songs.”
~ Bluegrass Today
“Sweet, ear-candy harmonies and flowing jams.”
~ The Sheet (Eastern Sierra)
“LA’s The Storytellers are sending a message loud and clear – bluegrass is not dead.”
~ Arroyo Monthly (Pasadena)
“This ‘jamgrass’ band moves seamlessly through traditional and progressive approaches. One tune echos Doc Watson, the next, Jerry Garcia. They find great joy in bluegrass music that is evident in their performances.”
~ LA Weekly
“The Storytellers strives to get all the wheels turning and pistons firing, whether they be intellectual or emotional.”
~ The Bluegrass Standard
