The Red Iron Push

From the hot fire comes The Red Iron Push, the Dirty-Country-Blues band bringing all the soul and grit all the other bands wish they had. Serving the song and bringing wine to the weary, the authentic Red Iron Push is making their name known by shaking the status quo and bringing all the best of Country, Rock and Blues has to offer. Brandon Howard’s deep and rich vocal leans to the likeness of Stapleton fans, while Jack Stein’s dirty-melodic lead lines answer right back at him like a tin-can phone.

The Hugh Phillips Band

Colorado Country at its best! These guys are gaining a lot of traction performing fairs, festivals, and honky-tonks throughout the Rockies. This 4-piece ensemble performs Hugh's originals and cover songs from Merle, Waylon, Casey Donahew, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown, and a host of other greats from the 70’s all the way to the latest hits. You can count on an exciting show of rocking country music with a bluegrassy flair.

Hugh's latest single 'Boys That's a Cowgirl' went to Country Radio hard and fast and landed at #3 after only 12 weeks! 

Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts

Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts bring forth new energy to music fans who love the heroes and outlaws of old. Influenced by the songs and personalities of legends like Waylon and Willie, they drive their sound with blazing guitars and a rock n roll attitude. The band pays respect to classic styles, but anyone can tell from their overdriven sound that they’re far from traditionalists. Recommended for lovers of both classic country and 70’s rock n roll.

Poudre Valley Playboys

Poudre Valley Playboys, a collaboration of Colorado guitar phenomenon Josh Long and upright bass aficionado Mark Verschoor, is high-octane classic country-rockabilly-surf music that gets any crowd jumping and hollering within the first few bars. Josh and Mark dig deep into the archives to pull out some overlooked gems of yesteryear in addition to cult classics from the rockabilly, country, and surf music scenes.

Jay Silence

Jay Silence is an American Singer/Songwriter and Recording Artist from Colorado. Writing and singing everything from traditional country songs like Grandma’s 45s, to hard-hitting, riff driven songs like Mach Wild. Described by Chris K. as a Southern Rock band and a Country Jam band at times by others. 

Benjamin Bell & The District

Colorado native, Benjamin Bell, started his journey at the end of a dusty, winding, dirt road listening to old country eight tracks in the back of a rusty Chevy pickup. His energetic live performances coupled with his sobering, heart-worn lyrics persuade his audience to set their drinks down one minute and raise them up the next. 2017 saw the beginning of three consecutive years playing Taste of Fort Collins, including a top five finish in a fan voting contest held by Old Town Media which resulted in an opening slot for Uncle Kracker on the main stage.

Downright Ornery

Made up of departed members of other popular northern Colorado bands, Downright Ornery brings an eclectic flavor of country music to the front range.  From the songs you already know and love, to more obscure covers, to original songs, their unpredictable set list will have you wondering what comes next and will undoubtedly leave you wanting more.
