April 6, 2024Colorado based country-blues musician, Earl Nelson, is reinvigorating the field of modern americana-roots music. Influenced by everything from early 20th century hill country blues & bluegrass to the groovy 1970's era country funk. Writing about the working class American, Earl's lyrics are heavily inspired by his time working in manual labor as a welder. Focusing in on ongoing labor rights struggles, the music and lyrics behave without genre boundaries.

April 26, 2024The John Weeks Band is a high energy blues/rock band based in Denver, Colorado. John formed the band in 2013 and they have since garnered recognition and awards as one of the top bands in Colorado. Here's how it works---take the blues, ship it to Europe, mix it up, shake it around, add killer groove and seriously good vocals and you get the sound and flavor of the John Weeks Band. The music is based on classic blues lines, but they take it in some unique and different directions. Put it all together and you get a seriously powerful yet melodic sound that is unique to this band. This year, welcome Amy Rose Scott to the band!

April 27, 2024Mark Morris & the Rope Duckers embodies the notion that nature, and particularly mountains, can bring out the best in art, and has dedicated much of their creative energy into bringing that art back to the people of the mountains. Mark focuses on travel to mountain towns and inspires mountain people and athletes around the globe. The music is motivated by and made for those who find peace in the mountains. He focuses his energy to outdoor mountain lifestyle/culture events. Focusing their travels to mountain towns has also given him a great palate of mountain music styles to draw from including styles from North America, France, Italy, Russia, Argentina, and Ireland.
Corn Harvest lineup includes Mark Morris (guitar, lead vocals); Jon Wirtz (keys); Charles Mertens (bass); Andy Reiner (fiddle); and special guest Billy Nershi from the String Cheese Incident (guitar). This ensemble uses classical, gypsy, bluegrass, pop, jam, and other world rhythms to create an après dance party.
