TROUT STEAK REVIVAL Ever since winning the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, Trout Steak Revival has quickly become the quintessential Colorado string band.
Defined more by expressive songwriting and heartfelt harmonies rather than any one genre, Trout Steak Revival crosses over and blends the bounds of folk, indie, bluegrass, and roots evoking its own style of Americana.  With five band members all contributing unique lyrics, lead vocals, acoustic instrumentation, and harmonies, Trout Steak Revival delivers memorable tunes to an energetic fanbase that grows hand-in-hand with the band.

Chain Station is a 4-piece, high-energy, get ‘em out on the dance floor string band from Denver, Colorado. Their music is well-steeped in Americana roots, with vocal harmonies that are high, lonesome, and tight. Their picking ranges from lightning-fast to mountain mellow. They are a bluegrass band that would satisfy a picky old-timer and delight fans of newgrass, a delicate balance indeed.
In the summer of 2006, Alex Thoele and Jon Pickett met while playing guitars around a campfire, high on a mountaintop in Estes Park, CO. The two have been entertaining and writing music since. In 2010, they were joined by mandolin player and fellow midwesterner Jarett Mason and shortly after by James Weatherly on banjo, the band’s only Colorado native.

GREAT BLUE
Great Blue (Shirl Lawrence and Steve Kaplan) is an acoustic folk duo with eclectic tastes.  We started singing with friends while living in Boulder more than three decades ago.  We first (literally) “sang for our supper” the very first night we moved to New York State.  For 35 years, we’ve been heard at coffeehouses within the Hudson River Valley.  We sang at Clearwater festivals for more than a decade as members of the Walkabout Chorus and the Hudson River Sloopsingers. We are now called “Great Blue”after the observant heron we often find during our kayak trips.  Now that our day jobs are behind us, Great Blue has flown to our permanent nest in the Colorado Rockies.

HEAVY BEAUTY
Somewhere in the midst of time, 4 musicians were called together to quickly become best friends. Deep within the Colorado Rockies, they forged their expansive and unique sound centered around the creative writing of their Dobro player Mike Testagrossa. Here, they began their journey with songs written in reflection of their love for the West. The Angelic water droplets of light come to you by their enigmatic mandolinist, Will Thomas. Underneath their melodic core lies the rock solid rhythm section. Bassist, Angel Edgemon’s haunting vocals and melodic rhythms were summoned by an ancient Appalachian forrest. And, radiating spiritual guidance through his drum mastery, Dax Hunter Jordan sets the unit apart from imitation. With the precise amount of dreams, love, hard work, and relentless passion, we now have the intangible weight that has become Heavy Beauty.
