Wolf van Elfmand

The idea of digging your roots into a city, a hometown, a state can be of the utmost importance for some of us. It can be a dream, even, to accomplish such a thing. To be still. The generation-Xers or Zs, millennials or whoever, young people, old ones, kids, maybe some of them got it figured out. On the other side of the same coin, in the oncoming lane headed westward or northward or wherever in a camper-truck, there's a guy headed out of town. Gone. Such is the ambulant, artful life and ever-changing times of American musician and songwriter, Wolf Van Elfmand.

WhiteWater Ramble

Whitewater Ramble was named one of Denver Westword’s Top 10 Colorado Bluegrass Bands for 2018, alongside legendary groups Leftover Salmon and Hot Rize. Best described as “High-Octane Rocky Mountain DanceGrass,” Whitewater Ramble (WWR) uses a simple recipe to craft its sound: start with bluegrass instrumentation, add drums, and finish with a boundary-less approach to grassing-up everything from pop and funk to roots and Americana.

Violet Wild Collective

Violet Wild is carving out a space on the alt-90s edge of Americana. The northern Colorado singer-songwriter delivers powerful, emotive vocals and percussive guitar that evoke both Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell. Her sound is shaped by the harmony she learned from Simon & Garfunkel songbooks as a child, and the Santana bass lines she played on sousaphone in marching band. Since 2017, she's played in bands in the Front Range live music scene. Now she performs with Rob Myers on upright bass and Bill Aspinwall on guitars.

The Vagabonds

A truly unique family affair, the Vagabonds began as the father/daughter duo Mike and Cat McDonald. Retired a few years back and a lifelong guitar player Mike decided it was time to pursue a serious musical path and began studying jazz guitar. The country, blues and folk roots of his youth brought him full circle and through the beautiful melodic contributions of his daughter Caitlin The Vagabonds emerged. Playing venues throughout Northern Colorado the duo became a wonderful well rounded example of true acoustic Americana.

U.S. Tygers

Taking inspiration from bands like The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and New Riders of the Purple Sage, U.S. Tygers aim to push an established style beyond its original horizon. U.S. Tygers Dismantle ideas familiar to the American music listener and re-assemble them to suit their needs creating a fever of sonic visions from the past and future. Shamelessly invoking their muses while creating a completely new ritual in which to do so. In this dream you are at home but it's not your home. Find out what's different.

TMULE VS NIC CLARK

VS brings raw power to the folk rock landscape. 

With one foot in the Detroit garage rock and another firmly in the cosmic roots rock of the 1970s. TMULE VS Nic Clark explore the world through existential and eye-opening lyrics. With lyrical finesse of storytellers such as Robert Hunter and Neil Young, their songs engage with the listeners own experiences through vast landscapes of love, loss, and life.

The Wyatts

The Wyatts, Colorado-based country rockers, are from a town 200 miles or so away from Hank, 24 miles north of Elvis, a Stones throw east of Kid, and right next to Dwight. Their journey began in 2005 in Arizona with a vision of a cross-breed of RnB, Pop, Rock and Country, currently the “norm” of today’s Americana and Country music.
