Ryan Dart
2022-04-29 18:00 - 20:30 | CO
Farmer. Father. Musician. Painter.
Ryan Dart’s music encompasses the worlds that he lives in. You can’t sing about needing rain, unless you really know what it means to need rain. The new album, Drifters Heart, showcases his earnest and heartfelt songwriting, stripped down to its core and presented honestly. Recorded in Austin, TX and Boulder, CO, the album is a departure from some of Ryan’s earlier, more rock leaning offerings. Yet, it still retains all of the qualities common throughout Ryan’s music – genuine lyrics, vivid imagery, and an authentic take on American music.

West Side Joe
2022-04-09 18:00 - 20:30 | 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.

Drifting West Trio
2021-11-27 18:00 - 20:30 | CO
Drifting West is a quartet from Ft. Collins, CO. All the members of the band moved from somewhere or another back east. All those influences were put in a band. Drifting West called the sound that came out “Mountain Rock”.

What is Mountain Rock? Drifting West’s sound can be found somewhere between the Celtic tradition of Appalachian Bluegrass & the blues of Southern Rock, between the jam oriented feel of New England & the structured voice of Seattle, between the Newgrass of the Front Range & the twang of cornfield Country.
