These performers will explore the theme of “Emergence” in a powerful presentation that kicks off the evening at sunset, doors open at 8pm.

Born in a distillery in Durango, CO, Stillhouse Junkies play a delirious, head-spinning mixture of original roots, blues, funk, swing, and bluegrass music. With all three band members sharing vocal duties and swapping instruments, the Junkies conjure a wide range of tonal landscapes that pay tribute to the iconic sounds of Gillian Welch, the Allman Brothers, Tim O’Brien, the Wood Brothers, John Hiatt, and countless others while breaking new musical ground with their genre-bending original material.

Birds of Prey

Saturday, Birds of Play & Friends will be featured at TRANSFERGRASS. Doors open at 6pm, music starts at 7:30pm. Click here for tickets.

These multi-instrumentalists and dearest of friends effortlessly weave together a unique tapestry of blues, bluegrass, folk, and funk into a glorious blend of humor, honesty, and harmony.
