The Music

Dragondeer, one of Colorado’s fastest rising acts that have turned heads across the country with a distinctive blend of psych-blues and soul will hit the stage at 2 pm. Dragondeer has shared the stage with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Shakey Graves, and Drive By Truckers. The band’s busy summer schedule has included performances at Firefly Music Festival in Dover, DE, Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI, and Electric Forest in Rothbury, MI. and has also performed at Telluride Blues & Brews, Grandoozy Music Festival and Jazz Aspen Snowmass among others.

World Class artist, Rob Drabkin, plays the stage from 3:30-6 pm. The music of Rob Drabkin is spirited in nature, light from the heart, and rocking on the six-string acoustic. His music has landed Rob national tours and sets at some of music’s most iconic venues. From Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his hometown of Denver, to tours in Doha, Qatar in the Middle East, Rob’s musicality has taken him and his guitar across the world. It’s no surprise that he and his band have become a force in the live music scene as they headline tours and support bands such as John Butler Trio, Trevor Hall, and The Wood Brothers. The blend of rock, improv and singer-songwriter will have you dancing, smiling, and falling in love with Rob Drabkin, one song at a time.
