LANDSCAPES // I will also bring along a heap of other work from my time in the outdoors–mostly focusing on landscapes, but also of the people who enjoy those spaces.
In this all-too-digital era, we (myself included) forget to print photos and just look at them. Come get your hands on some prints and let’s talk about photography. Plus… beer.
– Unveiling at 6pm
– Food from Scratch Food Truck 4-8pm
– Live music with Hanna Doreen 7-9:30pm (free)

Greg Schochet and Katie Glassman
2019-04-19 19:00 - 21:30 | 321 Mountain Avenue, Berthoud, CO, 80513, United States
fiddle tunes • old Western swing • country
Katie Glassman’s love affair with the fiddle began at the tender age of nine. Inspired by old-time Texas music, she began playing by ear, and was soon winning numerous honors throughout the West. In 1998, she captured the National Junior Fiddle Championship in Weiser, Idaho, and two years later the National Young Adult Fiddle Championship. She is a three- time top five finalist in the National Grand Champion Division and in 2011, she won the National Western Stock Show Championship. 2013 was Katie’s biggest year yet for competing, as she took top honors in two of the country’s most prestigious contests: Walnut Valley, in Winfield, Kansas, and Rockygrass in Lyons, CO.
But Katie is no one trick pony when it comes to fiddling. She studied classical and jazz violin at the University of Colorado in Boulder, graduating with a BA in music performance and a certificate in jazz studies. In 2007 she became only the second American to attend the Centre Musique Didier Lockwood in France, the world’s foremost jazz violin school.
Greg Schochet is a full-time performer, teacher and producer in Boulder, Colorado. Equally adept on guitar and mandolin, he is fluent in number of acoustic and electric styles, including bluegrass, swing, and country.
A veteran of many touring and recording bands, his love of music and traveling has brought him to some of the most acclaimed venues in the country, including A Prairie Home Companion, Red Rocks, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, as well as the Rainforest World Music Festival in Malaysia.
Born and raised in the suburbs of New York city, Greg’s musical youth was framed by his father’s record collection and FM radio of the 70s and 80s. Combined with a deep love for all things traditional, twangy and old-timey, Greg’s musical sensibilities are wide-ranging and versatile.
He is an integral part of Colorado’s thriving roots music scene, and is a sought after instructor, session player, producer and collaborator.

Pamela Machala
2019-04-05 19:00 - 21:30 | 321 Mountain Avenue, Berthoud, CO, 80513, United States
Singer/songwriter Pamela Machala (“MOCK-uh-luh”) creates a delicious style of indie piano pop, influenced by her love of jazz and R&B. Her smooth, smoky voice and impressive piano chops recall the timeless pop sensibilities of Carole King, the subtle fusion of Norah Jones, and the eclectic lyricism of Regina Spektor. Her newest album, When I Get Home, was released in June 2015. BolderBeat says, “The grand takeaway from When I Get Home is this: Pamela Machala is a big, fresh talent to keep an eye on. Her musicality is as user-friendly as it is intricate, and Machala’s vocal performances are revelatory…It’s that catchy; it’s that well executed by Machala, who may be a transcendent talent; and it’s that well produced.” American Songwriter Magazine awarded Machala an Honorable Mention in their July/August 2018 Lyric Contest for her original song “Cardboard Cutout.”

Beer School: Brewing Great Beer at Home + Intro to All-In-One Systems
2019-04-02 18:30 - 19:30 | 321 Mountain Avenue, Berthoud, CO, 80513, United States
Join us for a special presentation by Bill Campbell of BREWMENTED: “Introduction to all-in-one brewing systems and brewing great beer at home”

Interested in learning how to brew beer the way brewers brew? It’s called all-grain brewing and the good news is that the tools and equipment needed to get started have been greatly simplified through the introduction of all-in-one brewing systems, several of which are now on the market. We’ll cover the equipment you need to get started, talk about the ingredients that make up beer, go over what happens on brew day, and discuss fermentation schedules and bottling and/or kegging. We’ll also go through various all-in-one systems that are available, discussing their advantages and disadvantages. Quick note, Brewmented uses all-in-one brewing systems for all of its experimental batches.
Bill Campbell is the co-owner of Brewmented, Longmont’s destination-style homebrew store, brewery, and taproom. Learn more about Brewmented’s supplies to homecraft your brew at www.brewmented.com.

Billy Shaddox Duo
2018-12-28 19:00 - 21:30 | 321 Mountain Avenue, Berthoud, CO, 80513, United States
“Shaddox hails from Colorado, and is the rare songwriter who seems to have a natural knack for crafting a pop song, and a deep understanding of what makes one great. And “I Melt, I Howl” is truly great. With the softness of Tweedy and the sweetness of Mikal Cronin, Shaddox has truly found his sound with Howl. His breakout record is folksy Americana-rock, with the smoothest of melodies and vocal harmonies, and will hopefully earn Shaddox some much-deserved attention.” – Glide Magazine Album Review, 2015
masterful Americana honoring folk and pop

Originally formed in 2003 with his wife Pattie, Chris took a break from performing for several years before reforming the band in 2015. Miss Pattie, aka Mrs Goat, passed away in February 2016 from metastatic melanoma. Goat and his friends decided to keep the music going.
Chris has been at this since the ’70s, performing across the US, and in Canada and Great Britain, playing in direct support of Guy Clark, Jim Lauderdale, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly, the Railbenders and others. He was a founding member of the 90s era Southern-rock jam band Alien Cowboy in Fort Collins.
Chris is also the founder and president of Rocky Mountain Music Network LLC; the producer and host of the syndicated radio program, “Chris K’s Colorado Playlist,” heard on a number of stations statewide; and an on air host at 105.5 The Colorado Sound in Northern Colorado.

Shanna In A Dress
2018-12-08 19:00 - 21:30 | 321 Mountain Avenue, Berthoud, CO, 80513, United States
Shanna in a Dress is a smashing combination of clever lyrics, sweet serenade, and tongue twisting rhymes. She has been performing since her days at the University of Virginia where she attracted a loyal following of fans that loved her feel-good humor, catchy melodies, and entertaining stage presence. Shanna is a diverse songwriter with a playful setlist containing material ranging from sunny toe-tapping tunes to intensely emotional ballads to humorous ear candy. Her lyrics are laden with clever wordplay and are relatable across all ages.
Shanna released her first EP More Than Just a Hoar in 2012 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Her style is often compared to Ingrid Michaelson, Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz. She doesn’t take herself too seriously off-stage or on, and her self-reported style is “happy folk pop with a twist of humor, sarcasm, and occasional tears.” Shanna moved to Boulder in 2014 and is excited to connect and share with the local music scene!
