No stranger to the festival scene, Dawes will be touring several fests on the strength of last summer's Nothing Is Wrong. Stops at the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Fest, Australia's Bluesfest, Coachella, and Floydfest will all precede their August visit to Lyons. Their latest video from is Nothing is Wrong is the lead track "Time Spent in Los Angleles".

Darrell Scott has a new one that Wendy Wham has raved about, and if you haven't seen either Peter Himmelman or Lyle Lovett AND His Large Band - you're in for an experience. The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival is August 17th through the 19th. Grab your tickets, stare some more at thelineup, and start pining for the summer.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
