Kraig's showmanship and mastery of dobro slide get you listening and watching, and cheering...  but his songwriting keeps you listening.

Kraig Kenning

The winner of first place honors in the recent National Slide Guitar Festival, the northwest suburban resident is no slouch as a singer and songwriter, too, as his fifth album, "Every Precious Moment," so ably demonstrates.

Kenning's deft finger picking and slide work on acoustic and steel resonator guitar is truly impressive, but so is his flair for crafting intelligent, heartfelt lyrics and memorable melodies. Call his style laid-back music played with a burning passion.

Dysfunction Junction

One of Denver's premier acoustic funk jam bands.  

 

Zebra Junction

Fun, Folly & Fearsome Sounds!

Check out their new CD Orange Porage!

Bob Tyler

Bob's a lot like my heroes, Jethro Burns.  Sometimes his humor is so outrageous, that it overshadows his mastery of playing the guitar.  Truly a funny man and incredible musician.  He's finally released an album of his fans' favorites that he's performed over the years.

 

Thom Sumbler

Thom's CD, Written on My Face, produced by Bob Tyler, features the backing of The Colorado Wrecking Crew, which consists of Tyler, John Magnie, Steve Amedee, Rich Moore and Jeremy Lawton. The result is a skillfully produced collection of songs that take you on the road.

 

Steinar Gregertsen

A fantastic musician, songwriter, and lapsteel guitar player.  Check out his site and stay tuned for his upcoming release in 2004.

Steinar is a great guy and has an ear for tone, touch and melodic slide guitar licks.

 

 

 

 

Jim Edfors

Nationwide performer with exposure from Alaska to Atlanta, Martha’s Vineyard to the Grand Canyon, Chicago and the Heartland
to the Colorado Rockies. Highlighting the central Colorado mountain resort stages since 1990.

"Edfors electrifies with an approach to the guitar that is, at the same time, both aggressive and loaded with finesse."  - Flagstaff LIVE!


 

Mollie O'Brien

"I don't think of myself as a blues singer or a folk singer or a bluegrass singer," Mollie confesses. "I think of myself as an interpreter. I've done lots of acting, and it's only when you've learned your lines and your blocking that you can go out of the envelope. That's how I learn tunes. I learn them backwards and forwards and try them in all different keys, so I can learn how far I can stretch them. You can't take chances until you really know where you are, and taking chances is what's fun."


I actually saw Mollie at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival before moving to Colorado.  I'll never forget catching Mollie, Rich Moore and Scott Nygard in Nederland - my first Colorado concert - and how exciting it was to move to a place with such incredible musicianship.

Mollie's an artist who knows how to pick songs and musicians like paints on a pallette and through her powerful voice paints, each song is a Mollie masterpiece.    - Dwight

Gotta see her live!  I also love when she throws a John Hiatt tune in the set...

Katelyn Benton

Colorado Singer/Songwriter - At age 15, Katelyn released Sycamore Street.  

 

When she performed at the Celeste Krenz and 3 Twins Christmas show with her original solo holiday song, the crowd realized they were witnessing true talent of piano composition, songwriting, and singing.  And as she walked off the stage, she showed her maturity and confidence by jumping back in as the band started with a spontaneous side by side piano jam exchange with the great John Magnie...  It was a highlight of the evening...  - Dwight

 

Dave Zobl

There are thousands of CDs recorded each year. Most of them are made to turn a buck. Although I'm sure Dave would like to at least break even on his recording studio costs, it's obvious he's making this music out of pure love. The bonus for listeners is...he's a great singer / song writer and he makes great music, from the heart. I highly recommend this CD!

Rob Anderlik

Rob is a musician who knows how to accompany a band or singer with tasteful rhythm and solos. 

Rob plays dobro, Weissenborn, and acoustic guitars.  Rob has studied dobro with Jerry Douglas and Sally Van Meter.  He has played with Czech guitar legend Slavik Hanzlik, the alt-country icon Robby Fulks and the great mandolin and guitar player, Don Steirnberg. 

 

Rob introduced me to the world of dobro and Weissenborn over 10 years ago.  Although, I quit the bluegrass dobro shortly after my two lessons with Rob, I picked up the Weissenborn 5 years later and Rob continues to be an inspiration and influence on my own music. ~ Dwight

Conscious Elliot

Denver rockers, Conscious Elliot, brings a much needed fresh sound to the Denver music scene - a sound reminiscent of the early acoustic electric days Zeppelin.

 

Trio Assai

For over five years, the Trio Assai has been constituted for promoting the plectrum instruments and show their usually unknown possibilities. The instruments of the bandurria family (similar instruments to the mandolin) are usually only known as popular instruments. The bandurria and the spanish tenor lute, together with the guitar form a classic trio with surprising musical possibilities.
