The Boulder Swing Collective
2022-12-02 18:00 - 20:30 | CO
Swing music has taken over my life in the past few years! While my professional musical life has a good amount of swing in it, I still want more. In the past three years, I’ve helped cultivate a pretty happening little swing scene here in Boulder. It started for me by teaming up with Kyle Ussery, with whom I started a weekly swing night at the No Name Bar on the Hill in Boulder. From there, we met some some young cats who are like-minded about swing. We play the old-time stuff, which I consider separate from jazz. Together we call ourselves the Boulder Swing Collective.

West Side Joe Duo
2022-09-11 17:00 - 19:30 | CO
Loose, funky grooves and smooth vocals. Incendiary guitar playing and lyrics that you can’t forget. Raised in Memphis, TN, Joe now does his thing based out out of Ft. Collins, Colorado. He earned his recording and performing credentials with Memphis’ Blues Rock Queen Reba Russell. After playing with Reba for five years, Joe took on the challenge of starting his own group, Minivan, which became a staple of the Memphis roots rock scene. He also took gigs with Memphis blues artists Earl the Pearl, Billy Gibson, and Big Joe Turner (bassist for Albert and B.B. King). Joe has shared stages with Charlie Hunter, Tower of Power, and James Cotton. It’s mostly blues, R&B, rock & roll, soul, and funk – the brilliant creations of African-American artists which most modern popular music is based on today. This is what inspires West Side Joe & The Men of Soul to write their material.

Hardwood Heart
2022-08-19 18:00 - 20:30 | CO
Hardwood Heart is a string band serving up exploratory bluegrass/rock/jazz/americana to anybody with an open mind.
Hardwood Heart was born out of compulsion – a desire for guitarist Josh Clinger and mandolin player Jed Nussbaum to keep as musically active and exploratory as possible. What started as two songwriters swapping tunes in backyards and living rooms turned into an impressive catalog of original material and covers, woven together with creative improvisation and vocal harmonies. Together they paired up with bassist Caleb Mattis and forged a sound rooted in bluegrass but stretching into jazz, folk, blues and rock and roll. The trio used the slowdown in 2020 to focus on expanding their repertoire and record their first two EPs, showcasing the band’s intimate lyrics and tasteful instrumentation, and released their third EP, Walls & Picture Frames in June 2021.

Wild like the west, fine like an aged whiskey

Delusional dictators and amorous love songs
With a rotating carousel of only the finest musicians
They are wildly hilarious, smart, and efficient
A Jack of all trades, you will find Zoltan in movies
His musical antics are really a doozie
That is our story and we are sticking to it

Jason grew up in the small town of Labadie, Missouri which is the foundation from where he draws his songwriting inspirations. He started playing guitar at the age of 16 when he sold the pickup truck given to him as a birthday present to buy a guitar and an amp where upon he immediately began writing songs. He began his performing career at the age of 18 and earned his BFA in music at Webster University before moving out to the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in 1998 and immersed himself in the burgeoning Colorado bluegrass scene.

The Seers
2022-07-10 17:00 - 19:30 | CO
The Seers, an experimental folk-rock duo from Fort Collins, CO, have transformed their shared passion for great songs into a walking, talking, modern-day jukebox of musical versatility. With a “stunning repertoire” of over 700 covers and 100 originals spanning from alternative rock to Americana country, the Seers deliver sing-along performances that bring people closer together.
As a duo, three-piece, four-piece, and five-piece band, Seers perform at regional festivals (SXSW 2015 Colorado Music Showcase), weddings (in Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado), private events, restaurants, bars, breweries, memorials, markets, and more. With over fifteen years of collaboration, it easy to see why they’re in high regional demand: they love to play.
As prolific songwriters and aspiring recording artists, Collins and Waters have been recording and releasing albums as The Seers since 2010. Their first was an underground, stream-of-consciousness EP titled “Universal Tree.” Two eclectic rock albums followed: “The Seers” (2013) and “Cellophane Eyes” (2014). In 2016, in collaboration with Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, and Foster the People), The Seers released the indie folk EP “Signals” to critical acclaim. Their fourth release, the full-length “Better Days” is out May 13th, 2017

Nicki Sage
2022-07-02 18:00 - 20:30 | CO
Nicki Sage (Nicki Oh) is a recording artist and actress who works in the entertainment industry. Nicki has been working as a singer-songwriter, professional videographer, actress, and photographer for many years now. Nicki began playing music at a young age. She took 8 years of classical piano lessons as a child, and also participated in jazz and concert band in middle school as a woodwind player. She got her first acoustic guitar at age 14, and literally wrote a song the night that she got the guitar with just the few chords she knew how to play, having never played guitar or taken any lessons. Nicki began acting by getting involved with musical theater as a child. Her acting career began professionally back in 2015, when she started working on TV shows as an extra, and soon began booking work in commercials, as well as independent films and television shows. She is currently based in Denver, Colorado, but has worked in multiple larger markets, such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Orlando, and Nashville–where her music career started. Nicki has worked with many reputable writers and musicians. Recently, she has been working with David Archuletta’s produce, Nate Dodge, on her next upcoming release, “More Than a Memory”.
“Life is short. I think that everyone would benefit from speaking their truth, and making themselves vulnerable to the possibility of the unknown. People often mask their emotions, and want to hide in a pink cloud because they’re afraid to admit that they are human, and that it’s okay to not be okay. My music is how I express my feelings, and I’m as raw as you get. I hope that I can encourage others to not be afraid of expressing where they are at. Trust me, you will feel so much better. Secrets keep you sick.”
