Upcoming Shows:
June 18 – Max Mackey www.maxmackey.com. Max has been playing with the Max Mackey Band, bringing his version of Genuine. Americana. Rock. to venues all over Colorado. With the band’s vocals driving an Americana sound, Max’s swirling guitar pulling listeners into creative spaces, and their genuine grass roots energy right up front, the Max Mackey Band is not to be missed. Max can also be found playing solo with his trusty Martin guitar ‘Grace’. “Solo shows are an opportunity to strip down sonically and play the music differently,” says Max. “I get to explore my voice and allow a vulnerability in playing that comes from a nowhere-to-hide space.” Max’s solo shows are intimate, expressive, and make for a damn great time.
June 25 – Jared Nels – https://jarednels.com/. Jared Nels is a professional musician based out of the Santa Barbara / Ojai region in Southern California. He is a lifelong musician and specializes in bluegrass, country western, blues, and rock.
