The 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!

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.
