Bill Chesney grew up with Seth Bernard in Lake City, and there must be something in the water up there, because Bill (with his ever-changing pickup band, Stepladders) can conjure a tune, spin it on its side like a Harlem Globetrotter, and whip it at your head so fast you won't know what hit you. This is friendly/slightly snotty rock n roll for people who remember Better Than Ezra fondly. Primarily occupied with running world class print shop Brownlee Press in Grand Rapids, a Stepladders performance is a rare treat. Two albums available: Stepladders (2016) and Another Chance (2020).
