Colorado based country-blues musician, Earl Nelson, is reinvigorating the field of modern americana music. Influenced by everything from early century delta blues & bluegrass to early 1970's country funk. Writing about the average American life, the music and lyrics behave without genre boundaries.
Born and raised in Eastern Kansas, Earl picked up the guitar through an obsession with the likes of Skip James, Son House, & Charley Patton. After years of playing desert blues in Austin, TX, Earl has found a home in Colorado with a group of great musicians that move freely through genres to make for a unique lively rolling sound. Earl Nelson & the Company have emerged to create a funky blend of Mississippi delta blues, Mo-town soul, and bluegrass country. The band infuses blues banjo, jazz keys, funky basslines, and heavy percussion to back Earl's gritty vocals and slide guitar. With a large helping of gospel blues riffs and New Orleans piano solos, their live sound turns any stage into old-fashioned juke joint.
Forged in the mountains of jazz, and tempered by the funky realities of city life, Denver based Zenobia Street Funk Collective has been rocking stages across Colorado for years and is STOKED to once again play Loveland Ski Area - Blend jam-band sensibilities with soulful grooves, pair it with internationally-renowned musicianship, and you have a hint to what lies in store from Zenobia's six bandmates - Inspired by groups like Lettuce, Soullive, Cannonball Adderly, and Snarky Puppy, Zenobia puts musicianship at the center of the stage, and let's the jams dictate where to go next. If you like live music, if you like jams, and if you like dancing, then this is the show for you!

Kenny was born in Bellevue, WA, but was raised in Midland and Sanford, MI. He began singing in choirs at a very young age up through high school. During this time, Kenny was the lead singer in a garage band group called "Rook" which focused on alternative rock.
It wasn't until going to college at Central Michigan University where he picked up the guitar as a freshman. He began winning talent shows and playing in local coffee shops and bars throughout the next few years, and at the age of 22 was when he released his first album "All Sides of the Spectrum".
Not long after the release, Kenny moved to Denver, CO. His solo career really took a leap forward where made his mark by opening up for Common at CSU and Brad Corrigan from Dispatch at DU. He also released and EP in 2007 called "No Time to Waste" as well as three live albums. He has also been the front man for projects like "Left Hand Cheater", "My Friend Tom", "Pearls for Breakfast", and "Kenny Lee & the Young Souls" while maintaining his solo career.
Coal Creek String Band is a collective of musicians from different bluegrass and old time bands in the Front Range. You’re almost guaranteed to see them with a different roster at every show. This massive pool of talents draws from every genre across the Americana spectrum. You may witness traditional, hard-driving bluegrass or a romping Old Time performance with multiple fiddlers. The next show may feature elements of jam band improvising or a healthy dose of Irish jigs. Either way, you’re sure to experience music imbibed with the rich traditions of Appalachia.
The group is organized by multi-instrumentalist Brett Kretzer. Brett grew up in the rolling Appalachian hills of the mid-atlantic and was steeped in the local tradition from an early age. As an adult, he has spent countless hours around campfires sipping moonshine and sharing tunes with Appalachian old timers. As these authentic mountain experiences morphed into a professional career, he found himself touring up and down the entire Appalachian corridor, from Georgia to Maine, with progressive bluegrass band The Plate Scrapers. Over the years he has had the privilege of sharing the stage with bluegrass legends such as The Seldom Scene, Larry Keel, Frank Solivan, and more. More recently, Brett’s love of the mountains has led him to the Rockies where he hopes to spread his love for Appalachian bluegrass and old time mountain music.

Raised in North Carolina, Brooklyn-based Americana crooner Kevin Daniel is set on making NYC a destination for Nashville sounds. The songwriter and multi-instrumentalist brings southern rock, gospel, and blues to barrooms of Brooklyn and beyond. But Daniel wasn’t always chasing his dreams.
In the winter of 2013, during a dinner party in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Kevin received a phone call from his sister that would change everything. His mother and stepfather, adventure-seekers and amateur pilots, had been flying back from their mountain house in western North Carolina when their plane had crashed, killing both of them. Daniel’s life was turned upside down, his family torn apart and the world forever changed. During his return to North Carolina to help with family business, and while reliving his parent’s lives through photos, essays, and family stories, Kevin wrote over a dozen songs, all fueled by the grief of losing his parents as well as the celebration of the large lives they were known for. From those songs six were chosen to record, including one written specifically for Kevin’s parent’s memorial service.
