Friends & Neighbors

Born in a barn west of Fort Collins during the pandemic, Friends & Neighbors is an organically-grown ensemble of neighbors and friends with deep musical roots, connection and restless energy that came together to safely make and share music with our community.  This Fort Collins supergroup of veteran musicians includes Brian Adams on electric guitar (The Holler!, Colony Funk, Torn and Frayed), Steven Wayne Cobb on keyboards (Switchman Sleepin', Torn and Frayed), Dana Giove on bass (Dead Floyd, Titonic, Charlie Stevens Band), Angelo DeSalvo on drums (Switchman Sleepin', Torn and Frayed) and Arvind Panjabi on electric and acoustic mandolin and violin (Hot Dawg!, Fort Collins Fiddle Tune Project).

In 2023, spurred by our shared love of The Beatles, we took a deep dive down the Beatles rabbit hole...and never came up!  We draw from the latter part of The Beatles' vast repertoire (1965-1970), including from a Hard Day's Night, Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, the White Album, Sgt. Peppers, Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and Let it Be. While we firmly aim to uphold the original Beatles sound, including their unique and complex vocal harmonies, we add a touch of Colorado jam band to extend some of those magical, musical interludes that were cut way too short in the studio!

2025 marks 60 years since The Beatles played Red Rocks. In commemoration of that historic event, Friends & Neighbors is thrilled to reintroduce northern Colorado to The Beatles in 2025.  We are Colorado's premier Beatles Experience!
