Cooking Up Southadelic Positive Jams

Based in Evergreen, Colorado we have access to an incredible Front Range music scene. We cook up our own tasty jams with beautiful harmonic vocals and talented musicians that hit the essence of covers, but then we add spicy twists and turns as we weave in and out of other songs, including our original music. We often move between Widespread Panic songs or start a Dead song, but end in a Phish or Talking Heads song, or something more obscure. Oh, and then there is our bluegrass influence with songs by GSBG, The Dusters, Leftover, and even Billy Strings. Our female vocalist will impress you with Fleetwood Mac and Paul Simon tunes. Always fun and always looking to engage the audience. Jam+

Covid Kick Off

While we have each played for 20+ years, we formed in the fall of 2019 and cut our teeth at the local Open Mic scene. We practiced (safely) together through COVID and were dialed in just as the music scene re-opened. This time together was great for our chemistry and we are grateful for each other.
