Join GOINOMADIC at the Loveland Basin from 2:30 - 5:30pm on Friday, April 17!
GOINOMADIC is a collaborative of musical comrades based out Southwest Colorado. The songs are original compositions of third-generation singer-songwriter, Aaron Dunn whose sound and lyrics are shaped by his Southern roots and his journey from the sea to the mountains. Long time friends and backcountry buds round out the band mix. Zippy Scott has been laying down the OG mandolin sound since day one with the whale noise effects and oceans of echoes drifting into distant dissonance. Jacob Parchinski, percussionist and sound man has held the beat down steady on the hand drums since 2017 occasionally incorporating the digeridoo to get things weird. Slayer Sean rips radical riffs on the on lead guitar with an acute up-tone style that keeps the energy high from peak to peak. Julien Marcos Hood has been on board since 2019 bringing the signature lead bass riffs to the table to spice things up with a blend of effects and backing vocals.
They have been performing together all around Colorado since 2017 sharing the stage with regional acts, The Runaway Grooms and Colony Funk as well as National touring acts, Toubab Krewe and the North Mississippi All-Stars at Fibark Whitewater Festival in 2018. Their music is steeped in life, love, and the landscapes that inspire them—from the slow pace of Florida’s coast to the rugged beauty of Colorado. The sound is a soulful infusion of alternative indie jamrock that ebbs and flows from the trees to the seas…
