The 1up – Colfax, the club-style live music venue with 50 arcade games and 19 pinball machines, has developed a reputation for hosting some of the best super jams in Colorado. In March, it will host another that is sure to thrill those with an ear for bluegrass.

Denver Bluegrass Generals, which is led by Chris Pandolfi and Andy Hall of The Infamous Stringdusters, will perform for two nights on March 27 and 28 with an all-star lineup. Featured in the lineup is Grammy Award winning multi-instrumentalist Sam Bush. The remaining ‘Generals’ in the lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.

Alternately known as the ‘King of Telluride’ and the ‘King of Newgrass’, Bush has been honored by the Americana Music Association and the International Bluegrass Music Association. He has helped to expand the horizons of bluegrass music, fusing it with jazz, rock, blues, funk and other styles. Though he is best known for jaw-dropping skills on the mandolin, he is also a three-time national junior fiddle champion and Grammy award winning vocalist. Bush is the co-founder of the genre-bending New Grass Revival and an in-demand musician who has played with everyone from Emmylou Harris and Bela Fleck to Charlie Haden, Lyle Lovett and Garth Brooks.

Hall who works magic on the dobro, has toured and/or recorded with icons like Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton and Charlie Daniels

Pandolfi, a master on the banjo, studied with Tony Trischka, earned a Bill Vernon Memorial Scholarship, recorded a solo album (The Handoff), and toured with the New England Bluegrass Band, the Grammy-nominated Russian country-bluegrass group Bering Strait, and former Leftover Salmon mandolinist Drew Emmitt.

Opening Friday night will be Rocky Grass band winners Caribou Mountain Collective. Saturday will see California Jamgrassers Poor Man’s Whiskey kicking things off.

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
