We are thrilled to present the following bands this summer:

Tuesday July 3rd- The Indulgers The Indulgers are a Celtic Rock band with a unique western twist hail from right here in Colorado. It all began with their first song “In Like Flynn”, written and recorded twelve years ago - which garnished awards and praise for Best Ethnic Song of the Year as well as the CD receiving Best Celtic Album of the Year. Now over a decade later, The Indulgers continue to create and develop an exciting new blend of Celtic rock, western and folk rhythms that move and inspire, delivering energetic live shows throughout the United States.

From solo piano performances to jazz trios/quartets, to symphony orchestra concerts, Mark has played and recorded in the U.S. and abroad. Mark is a producer, composer and recording artist, and has made five recordings (CDs) of his own and contributed to many recordings as a “side man” or composer.

Mark has a degree in Music Therapy from Colorado State University and has worked extensively using music as a therapeutic tool in achieving/maintaining wellness. He has worked with Doctors (MDs), Psychologists, and many practitioners in the healing fields bringing music to many who wish to do healing work in this way. He has recorded music for this purpose as well as presented and taught in workshops and seminars.

The four paired up to create one of the most energetic 80′s tribute bands to hit northern Colorado! RETRO does a set to 80s Top 40 rock, pop, old school and hair-rock, all with accompanying outfits to match the decade. RETRO brings more than just music; they completely transform the atmosphere with props and audience participation that will get an audience of any age out of their seats and onto their feet.

Wednesday July 25th- The Wendy Woo Band The Wendy Woo Band loves performing catchy, upbeat songs that get everyone of all ages up and dancing! From the pop rock sound of “Out of My Head Over You” to the acoustic rock feel of “Down and Dirty,” a song that demonstrates Wendy’s ability to tap on her guitar in a rhythmic way, their shows are not one to miss. The Wendy Woo Band has the versatility to play any show as a five piece or down to a single player, Wendy Woo. A duo is formed with Wendy and Robin Hoch or a trio with Wendy, David Derby and Mitch DeZwarte. These five can come together or another member can be added for a five piece. This is possible because of the musicianship of the band’s members. Wendy plays
