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.

Redd and The Paper Flowers
2025-09-13 18:00 - 20:30
On tour from Knoxville, Tennessee…
In the heart of Knoxville’s bustling music scene, Redd Daugherty’s story was a melody drifting through the city’s night air. By day, she molded young minds in the classrooms of L&N STEM Academy; by night, she painted her emotions with the strokes of her guitar strings. Starring on American Idol drove her passion even further, and the seeds of something wonderful began to grow. The stars aligned when she met Gavin Gregg, Katie Adams, and Colleen d’Alelio, kindred spirits in the realm of music. Together, they became the harmonious collective, Redd & the Paper Flowers, a band whose name evokes the delicate yet resilient nature of their songs. Each member brought a unique flavor to the mix, creating a sound that was as diverse as the city that inspired it. As the buzz around their new 2023 album grows, the anticipation mirrors the energy of their live performances— a spirited fusion of eclectic sound, warm melodies, and rhythmic mastery. Check out some tunes below!

Flapjack Day
2025-09-01
Free flapjacks, breakfast beer flights, vintage cars, 50’s dress, support for the Berthoud Historical Society and the Flapjack Queen Contest.
FLAPJACK DAY HISTORY
In 1948 the Town of Berthoud created “Flapjack Day” to be celebrated on Labor Day to bring neighbors together and visitors from afar to enjoy one of the simple pleasures in life… flapjacks.
From 1948 to 1958 the local Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce hosted Flapjack Day in Berthoud Town Park that drew hordes of people to “The Garden Spot.” On the first Flapjack Day (1948) an estimated 1,000 persons descended on Berthoud to devour 5,000 free pancakes. By 1949, The Berthoud Bulletin announced that 3,700 visitors from 21 states downed a whopping 7,400 flapjacks. Over its eleven-year span, Flapjack Day grew to include the crowning of a Flapjack Queen. spike-driving, swimming and diving contests, a baton twirling competition, pet-and-doll parades, a pig catching scramble, a tractor driving challenge. The last Flapjack Day was held in 1959 when the Chamber of Commerce decided to cancel; the event due to the high cost of hosting such a spectacle.
City Star Brewing brought this annual tradition back to life in 2015: giving away 1,000 flap jacks, raising $1,000 for the Berthoud Historical Society, and crowning the first Flapjack Queen in 50 years – Caitlin Ascher.
