Bolstered by songs that are often chillingly poignant … Stevens makes the icicles form on your spine the minute she takes the stage.” Westword, Best Singer/Songwriter of Denver Angie Stevens has made a name for herself over her 20 year long career. She was named Denver’s Best Singer/Songwriter by both the editors and fans of Westword (Denver) as well as Emerging Artist of the Year and Best Independent Artist of the Year (Hapiskratch Records). Stevens rapidly gained national attention with a national tour and sponsorships from Coors, Southwest Airlines and Cowgirl Punk Clothing. She also charted #5 on EuroAmerican radio chart and #6 on Roots Music Report with the release of Queen of this Mess, recorded in New York with Grammy award-winning producer Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Red Dirt Girl).

In 2021, Angie was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and spent a year doing surgery and treatments. As soon as the dust settled and she was in remission, Angie decided to go back into the studio and record the songs she wrote over some of the toughest years of her life. “There is so much to learn from hitting the proverbial bottom. I cannot wait to get back on stage and bare my soul,” says Stevens.

John McKay Duo
2026-06-19 18:00 - 20:30
John McKay’s first instrument was piano, which he started playing at the age of 10. He quickly realized by the age of 11 that the drums were his real interest. By the age of 15, John was learning guitar and bass. From then on the guitar became his main focus. Throughout the years he played in various bands. In 1996 John earned a B.A. in Classical guitar performance from the University of Colorado Boulder. His first band playing his original music is the Wiley Cotton Band which was named after his father- Wiley Cotton McKay. This band got together in Feb. 2014 for a show at the Dickens Opera House in Longmont which was quite a blast!
Guitarist/singer/songwriter John McKay blends the deeply personal insights of a man immersed in nature, places of the past along with political observations of a protest singer, and the broad musical traditionalism of a folk rock musician with the passion and commitment tot a rock and roller. A musicians musician, McKay has an element of distraction to his performance as it is difficult to ignore the guitar playing which is in competition with vivid mind-expanding lyrics.
The John McKay Band is rich with musical talent which runs the musical gamete from jam band to folk rock to world musics. JMB is a combination of the familiar things that exemplify retro rock and roll and folk music that we all are presently yearning for from the past with modern touch of contemporary times and life today.
