The Bramblers
The Bramblers are a five-piece band from Fort Collins weaving together elements of country western, psych rock, funk, jam, Americana, folk, rock, and reggae. With diverse musical backgrounds and a collaborative approach to songwriting, they create a sound that’s both eclectic and grounded. Since forming in 2023, The Bramblers have been making waves across the Front Range with their groovy, genre-blurring style and a live show that’s equal parts soulful and wild.
The Quarks
The Quarks are a groove-first funk and soul quartet based in Durango, known for their rhythmic precision, deep-pocket energy, and crowd-moving live shows. Formed in 2022, the band began as a trio before evolving into a four-piece dedicated to delivering classic, roots-rich funk and jazz-inspired covers with a modern edge. Their sound is tight, soulful, and built to get people dancing.
Guitarist Jason Lemon helped launch the group after a series of local jam sessions, shaping its funk-forward direction. Bassist Kiev Simonfy locked in early to help build the foundation, teaming up with drummer Zach Olivier to form the band’s dynamic rhythm section. Keyboardist Matt Stanton joined after the group’s first Snowdown performance, adding melodic depth and jazz-influenced textures. Together, The Quarks bring an infectious energy that lights up every stage they step on.
robin davis duo
On their second studio album, Starin’ at the Mountain, The Robin Davis Duo offers a fresh and intimate perspective rooted deep in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. In a striking role reversal, Robin Davis sets aside his signature guitar work in favor of the fiddle, while Jimi trades upright bass for the earthy tones of clawhammer banjo. The result is a stripped-down, homespun sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Robin's flat-picking prowess extends to his work in reverse-supergroup Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band, where he plays mandolin alongside Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass, Travis Book of The Infamous Stringdusters, Jon Stickley of Jon Stickley Trio, and Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon. Broke Mountain re-released their album Cabin in the Hills through Americana Vibes in 2023.
The duo's first, self-titled album released in 2015 showcasing Robin on guitar and Jimi on upright bass. In 2022, the duo released their second album under the name Dreem Machine, a psychedelic grunge-grass trio alongside drummer Matt Cottle.
majik ham
Majik Ham formed in June of 2019 under the direction of Tim Sullivan. At that point, it was just the boys. The band’s first gig was playing a few songs during Tim’s set at The Cowboy Poetry Festival in Durango’s Rotary Park. That’s when the band’s first audience gave them their name. Tim asked the audience for suggestions, and one person yelled “Majik” (the boys picked the “cool” spelling as goofy kids) and another yelled “Ham”! The rest is history. The boys were soon playing at the James Ranch re-opening and then the Wildhorse Saloon. They followed with a rock n’ roll medley at the 2020 Durango Snowdown Teen Follies. Their set list and bookings started to grow and then Covid brought the world to a halt. During 'Covid time-out' Majik Ham practiced distanced, masked, outside, and then in cold, well-ventilated garages, determined to keep the music going. Now they’re back in business.
During the spring of 2022, when the boys were busy growing up and losing their soprano voices (and half of their set list!), they added their newest member, Jordan (Jordan Rainey music). She’s been the perfect addition, adding great talent, a beautiful voice, her own unique style, and lots of new songs to the Majik Ham mix.
