Lets talk music!

Country Rhythm Outfit: 5:00 - 6:30 PM. This is a group of "seasoned" local musicians who’ve joined forces to bring a fresh twist to classic country sounds. With twangy guitars, foot-stomping drums, and harmonies smoother than a shot of Spirit Hound bourbon, this band will make you feel like you're in a seedy bar outside of Nashville and wondering how you got there.

Jake Leg: 7:00 - 9:00 PM. Jake Leg is rooted in tradition and committed to innovation, and they are blazing a unique trail in acoustic music. Featuring award-winning local musicians Eric Wiggs, Dylan McCarthy, Justin Hoffenberg, and Aaron Hoffenberg, the band blends modern progressive bluegrass with high-level instrumentals and thoughtful songwriting. Formed in 2021, Jake Leg has quickly gained national attention, earning an IBMA Momentum Band of the Year nomination and a spot on Denver Westword's "10 of the Top Colorado Bluegrass Bands" list. Their debut album, Fire on the Prairie, showcases their original sound and promises an exciting future in the bluegrass scene.


Lets talk food and drink!

We will roast a pig, so please bring a dish to share, especially vegan or vegetarian options. We will have a couple of kegs of beer and soft drinks but if you have something special bring enough to share.

We will have a pie contest pie contest. So if you are inclined, bring your best offering. There will be two categories, sweet and savory. There will be a trophy for best pie and acknowlegement for best attempt to bribe the judges.
