   rd
   : 
   Dragondeer 
   with opener 
   Beau Thomas Band
   Denver band Dragondeer has conjured the rhythm spirits to concoct a blend of Psychedelic Blues , Retro Funk , Soul and Rock - n - Roll into a genre blur that ' s aim is to speak to souls and keep the body moving . Four good friends that brew a musical alchemy that is song centric with a proclivity to stretch things out and see where the evening leads . Heard across radio waves , through the trees at festivals like Electric Forrest , Firefly , and Telluride Blues this band keeps growing and morphing and wants you in on the ride .
     
   Dragondeer has had the pleasure to share the stage with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats , Marcus King , The Revivalists , Shakey Graves , Southern Avenue , Dumpstaphunk , Drive By Truckers , Anders Osbourne , and Jerry Joseph  
     
    Dragondeer hit the stage with their thick blues - rock sound . Reminiscent of early Led Zeppelin , The Black Keys , and electric Taj Mahal , the quartet stunned the audience with their hybrid of Mississippi Delta blues and 1960s psychedelic rock . Lead vocalist , guitarist and harmonica player Eric Halborg led the band with a rare ferocity , his deep growl and swampy harmonica blending perfectly with Cole Rudy’s raw pedal steel playing . Shocking many in attendance and quickly catapulting onto the Denver scene , Dragondeer is a growing force to be reckoned with . - Live For Live Music

   : 
   TK and the Holy Know Nothings
    with opener  
   Satellite 13
   Rejecting the influence of fleeting scenes and encroaching developers; the Laurelthirst Public House has always stayed in tune with its generations of muddy patrons carving out lives as blue - collar artists . The Thirst - - Portland , Oregon ' s oldest independent venue - - has always been a sort of misfit stronghold - - a sanctuary for the same kind of spirit that sustained local punk legends Dead Moon and outsider folk hero Michael Hurley . It has also become a lifeblood for working - class musicians like Taylor Kingman . Most nights , you will likely find the TK & The Holy Know - Nothings songwriter and lead vocalist on stage ( or at the bar ) . Ask around the place and you will quickly uncover Kingman ' s reputation as the sort of songwriter who makes other songwriters jealous , even angry . You will also hear about his hustle as both a player and writer , as those same songwriters line up to play with him . It is led to countless projects , exploring myriad concepts and styles , and making the sort of honest music that stands starkly , alongside the Laurelthirst , against the backdrop of a city quickly fading under the lacquer of gentrification .
     
   TK & The Holy Know - Nothings is perhaps Kingman ' s most beloved project . Half - dutifully and half - facetiously self - dubbed psychedelic doom boogie , the group was born out of Kingman ' s desire to create a loose , groove - heavy bar band that never sacrifices the importance of good , honest songwriting . Doing so required pulling together a local supergroup of friends , neighbors , and fellow Laurelthirst royalty , including drummer Tyler Thompson and multi - instrumentalists Jay Cobb Anderson ( lead guitar , harmonica ) , Lewi Longmire ( bass , guitar , pedal steel , flugelhorn , mellotron , lap steel ) and Sydney Nash ( keys , bass , slide guitar , cornet ) . It is a band of deeply contrasting styles buoyed by a sincere and palpable mutual trust - - one that allows them to find and lose the groove with the same ease . They build graceful , spaced - out landscapes around Kingman ' s storytelling - - his voice ragged and broken one moment and raging the next - - only to deconstruct them through a fit of manic and often dissonant rabbit holes . And Kingman ' s equally irreverent , delicate , and cerebral first - person narratives somehow merge seamlessly with it all .

   : 
   The Jauntee
    with opener 
   Hardscrabble
   In a world filled with instant gratification , gimmicky over saturation and a lack of true improvisation , The Jauntee pays tribute to music’s ability to transcend simple entertainment and cultivate a truly distinctive experience . The Jauntee has fostered a musical community based on a breadth of original material that engages fans through nightly exploration and risk taking . Averaging over one hundred shows a year , with each containing a unique set list and their own special improvisational moments , the band is constantly expanding upon what defines them and their live performances .
     
   With almost a decade’s worth of touring experience; appearances at major festivals such as Peach Fest , Catskill Chill , and Resonance; and 36 states toured with stops at national touring staples such as Brooklyn Bowl , Georgia Theatre , and the Paradise Rock Club , The Jauntee have been nurturing a fanbase of dedicated followers who are inspired by their music and willing to travel to see what the band has in store next . Fans that thoroughly analyze their music , track their set lists and passionately promote their music . The Jauntee makes each night an exciting prospect of a new shared experience with bust - outs , fresh jamming , poignant covers , and accessible songwriting .

   High Five
   Imagine that it is 1981 and you are cruising the Atlantic shores of the Hamptons with your friends . Bikinis are fluorescent , polo collars are popped , and boat shoes are rocked sockless .
