The Norse God of winter is coming back to Golden!  The second-annual UllrGrass music and beer festival will be held in the Rocky Mountain foothills of Golden, CO Friday January 29 – SundayJanuary 31, 2016. It’s a magical weekend when the Norse God of snow comes to our little western town to raise his drinking horn to craft beer, great music and a crowd that knows how to have fun in winter.  The event is held in at multiple indoor and outdoor stages in downtown Golden from Parfet Park to the Buffalo Rose.

The event includes something for nearly everyone kicking off with the UllrGrass Parade, followed by a festival complete with premier musical acts from Colorado to Nashville, a kids activity area, food vendors, artisan vendors, musician workshops and more. Golden is a vibrant, active, healthy community with a love of the outdoors and UllrGrass provides an opportunity to get outside and enjoy our town – even mid-winter. Taking in the views from Parfet Park of the unique natural beauty of Golden while listening to the toe-tapping rhythm of a bluegrass band is awe-inspiring.

For year two we’re excited to welcome back our good friends Head for the Hills, headlining the festival on Friday night with Luke Bulla, Rapidgrass Quintet, Saturday Night features the Kyle Hollingsworth Band with Coral Creek and the Railsplitters.  Sunday the festival finishes with a bang with Vince Herman & the UllrGrass All-Stars (featuring Andy Thorn, Luke Bulla, Bill McKay, Tyler Grant, Sam Grisman and Silas Herman), closing out the festival in Parfet Park on Sunday afternoon.   Also rocking the various stages at Parfet Park and The Buffalo Rose will be Luke Bulla Band, The Railsplitters, Caribou Mountain Collective, Gipsy Moon, Chain Station, Uptown Toodeloo String Band, Delta Moon, Thunder and Rain and more..

Longtime Golden residents and musicians Chris and Susannah Thompson founded the festival in 2015 as a passion project to bring a unique live music experience to their beloved home town.   Thanks to the support of the City of Golden, local businesses, and more than 100 Golden volunteers, the event has been an outstanding success

Get your Ullr horns on and come be a part of it!

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.
