The Sogs

The Sogs are an acoustic/folk/singer-songwriter duo who have been active in the Northern Colorado music scene since 2017. Featuring dual harmonizing vocals, guitar, bass, and saxophone, Lee Hutchinson and Dylan McConnell have built a loyal following by playing anywhere, anytime and leaving it all on the stage every chance they get. Influenced by songwriters and artists from virtually every decade, their sound can best be attributed to bands such as The Replacements, R.E.M., and Jonathan Fire*Eater.

The Omaha Boys

Tom Gregory and Pierce Hansen met during their senior year at the U of Wyoming, jamming in garages and cutting their teeth playing open mics around Laramie. Though a series of relocations forced a hiatus of several years, they reunited in Fort Collins in 2016. Since then, they've been rocking faces around the front range with their eclectic mix of popular covers and catchy originals.

The Moonlit Wild

The Moonlit Wild is comprised of bass player David James, who has played with notable Colorado genre bands Mass Hipsteria and The Flatirons Jazz Orchestra; Johanna Burian, classically trained French horn player and vocalist who freelances all over the Front Range, and is currently sitting in with the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra; and Christopher Bosch (“Christomo”), a soul-searching troubadour and collector of stories whose original music has been featured on national t.v. and radio.

The High Road Home

The High Road Home brings an original sound that doesn’t fit squarely into any one category, with influences as Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson, yet they reside closer to the progressive bluegrass genre. In 2019 The High Road Home won the UllrGrass Festival band competition (judged by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth) and played other festivals such as the Boulder Creek Hometown Festival, GoldenGrass and the Rocky Mountain Beer Festival, and recorded their debut album Outrun the Seasons, which was mastered by Grammy-winning studio Airshow in Boulder.

Gabrielle Louise

Gabrielle Louise writes original Americana that, though rooted in folk tradition, blends a sophisticated use of musical harmony with a lyrical love for philosophy, history, and storytelling. Her voice is agile as birdsong in one moment, and bold as a coal train whistle in another. Known for her authenticity and candor on stage, her performances delight with whimsical banter and enchant with dynamic musicality. The daughter of two vagabond musicians who toured the country in an old airstream trailer (children-in-tow), Louise inherited the predisposition to wanderlust and song.

The Crown Point Elixir

Sturtz

NPR’s All Songs Considered described the band as “a reassuring breath of fresh air that pulls me back to simpler times." The quartet – Andrew Sturtz [vocals, guitar], Courtlyn Carpenter [cello, harmonies], Will Kuepper [bass, piano, harmonies], and Jim Herlihy [banjo, electric guitar, harmonies] - is serene and folksy, with melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals.
