We are so excited to announce that this year’s headliner will be Magoo! This charismatic quartet won both the Ullrgrass and Winterwondergrass band competitions last year and second place at Telluride. And they keep getting better and better, with awesome 3 part harmonies and terrific songwriting. Their music is firmly rooted in bluegrass, but with a range that will find them morphing a tune into a newgrass psychedelic jam a la String Cheese. Catch them while they are still playing a small show like this because you’re going to see their name on a Red Rocks bill before you know it.
These guys are an exciting Denver band on the rise with a truck load of talent. They’ve got RockyGrass award-winning dobro player Dylan Flynn, Eric Hill on guitar, Courtlyn Bills on mandolin; all singing; and A. Denton Turner holding it down on the upright bass. Don’t miss this high-energy show capping off a full 7 hours of music!
