As we have always said: “Colombians not only eat arepas and empanadas” because Colombia has several other yummy dishes that you would love to try. That’s why, the team from “El Chuletazo Grill” is bringing mouth-watering food that will make you feel like if you were in Colombia!!”

Gaijin Street Food
2021-07-02 16:00 - 20:00
We serve Asian street food and inspired cuisine from our kawaii truck.
We hail from Baltimore but consider Longmont our home. We love the community, the people and the beer! When we first met, Brooks was a chef in Baltimore and April was in the wine industry. April had studied abroad in Japan while in college and Brooks loved Anime, Ramen and most things Japanese.
After moving to Colorado and landing pretty fast in Longmont we talked about doing a large trip abroad. Japan HAD to be on the list, also Southeast Asia for its accessibility, relative inexpensiveness and all around deliciousness. We ended up in Asia for 3+ months traveling to Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Malaysia. Realizing how broad the food scene is out there and how little we actually see of the different styles here in the states, we decided it would be cool to bring some of that back with us.

2021-06-18 18:00 - 20:30
Deliberate Kin is shaking up their tiny part of the world. Alex and Amanda Jo are a husband and wife duo, traveling full-time as musicians with their two young daughters. Although Alex has been playing guitar for 21 years, he can pick around on nearly any instrument you place in his hands. His style is a bold blend of flat-picking run-away melodies while simultaneously holding down a driving bluegrass bass beat. Amanda Jo started singing and performing at the age of 8 and went on to earn her Fine Arts degree in college. Equal parts charisma and power, her voice and stage presence have been described as mesmerizing. With nearly 50 years of entertainment between the two of them, you are guaranteed a great show! They dare to bring light and joy with them wherever they travel and they’ll gladly share it with you. Their show starts with smiles, builds you up with laughter and leaves you with hope and high-fives. Songs full of emotions, sweet harmonies and warm acoustic tones wash over you. Every story they tell is laced with humor and rings with truth and you can’t help but be encouraged and empowered because of it. Deliberate Kin’s music would be enough, but they go above and beyond to engage the audience in an energetic, uplifting show! Fans have sent messages days later, expressing how the show was exactly what they needed to make it through their week. DK believes that music is a healing art. Every person experiences it differently. They invite you to come as you are and take what you need. There is something for everyone here.

Brian Collins
2021-06-04 18:00 - 20:30
We welcome Brian Collins of The Seers for a special solo performance.
Writer, vocalist, pianist, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Collins has seen the world through music since he was six. Blind from birth, Brian’s father taught him drums and keyboard at an early age. He then learned tuba, trumpet, bass, guitar, and synthesizers. He now writes music as he swims, working out complex arrangements that he’ll later perform on drums, piano and guitar.
In 1999, Brian was studying music at UNC-Greeley, but “sight-reading” classical music required too many hours of monotonously memorizing sheet music. Deciding to re-focus on his own progressive rock music, Brian began building a career as a musical performer and writer.
Working odd jobs, Brian transferred back CSU and eventually earned a B.A. in Social Work in 2013 – the same time he was training at a Fort Collins Piano bar and beginning to see a way to sustain himself through performing music with the Seers and as a solo pianist / vocalist.
Brian has since worked professionally as a musician, and is excited to share his newest songs in creative new ways.
When he’s not doing the business of writing, performing and networking for the Seers, spends his free time swimming, writing, and taking care of his family and friends.
