Many Mountains
2025-09-21 17:00 - 19:30
Forming in Colorado as Many Mountains in 2013, Katie Rose Nelson and Dustin Moran bring a genre-bending sound to folk-rock.
Various influences trickle through their music to create something fresh yet familiar. Their songs are interlaced with vocal harmonies and leads that alternate between the two songwriters, creating a rich and lasting sound with lyrics that reflect on the relationship we have with ourselves and others – bringing truths to the table, facing who we are, and the constant state of becoming. Dustin adds textured and ambient electric guitar over Katie Rose’s rhythmic acoustic, often improvising with jazzy temperance.
Having shared the bill with acts like Gin Blossoms, Paul Cauthen, Dylan LeBlanc, and Valley Queen their sound transcends ordinary genre limitations.
Supported by the sonic landscape they create, you’ll be on a journey with Many Mountains.

Jeff White
2025-09-12 18:00 - 20:30
There’s something about the music one hears when in “the islands” it can be the perfect soundtrack to watching the waves roll in, drink in hand, sunburned feet buried in the cool sand it’s calming, fun, and carefree. Jeff White is the purveyor of such music. It is one of life’s greatest ironies that a young man who has been both struck by lightning and bitten by a shark can produce such dulcet tones and irie vibes.
White has been a veritable beach bum since his birth in Florida where he grew up in a small island community. The island experience is imbued in his soul and it is conspicuous in his music. Proficient on bass, guitar, keys, drums and percussion, White credits such influences as Sublime, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Jack Johnson, Barrington Levy and Paul Simon. No neophyte to touring, he has delighted audiences with his brand of “acoustic roots soul” in 47 U.S. states, several Central and South American countries and many Caribbean islands. After 18 months of traveling abroad, Jeff began planting his roots in the Rocky Mountains and is now based in Denver, Colorado.
Jeff is the creative brain behind established touring groups Jeff White & Soul Taxi , as well as the Casual Strange . Jeff performs as a soloist when not on stage with his bands. He uses a Boss Loop Station to Seamlessly record tracks on the Fly, creating his signature sound. Jeff proudly plays Breedlove guitars and Uses D’Addario strings exclusively

Christy says ” We want to make sure in our shows that the next song is always something different from the last one!”
McLeod Nine have toured extensively in USA playing festivals, listening rooms and theaters and have traveled to Ireland over 20 times and studied traditional Irish music and dance at The University of Limerick.

Made from yeast-leavened dough (not a batter) and specially imported Belgian pearl sugar, this mouth-watering piece of heaven is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Baked at the perfect temperature, the sugar pearls melt on the inside and caramelize on the outside for a sweet, delicate crunch. Believe us, this waffle is sweet and moist enough on its own—no syrup necessary!
