Rocky Mountain Folks Fest – August 12th-14th – Planet Bluegrass, Lyons, CO

Estimated read time 13 min read

For anyone that’s read my work on this site over the years, it’s probably no surprise to see this piece posted. This was my 16th Folks Fest and it still holds every bit of the magic of that first one all those years ago, and probably more. My wife and I started going to this glorious August event shortly after we started dating. We’ve since married and had a daughter who has been to every Folks Fest that has taken place during her lifetime. She’s grown up at Planet Bluegrass and now, at nine years old, we don’t hesitate to let her have the run of the Festival grounds over the course of the weekend.

Ah, the sweet memory of August days spent by a babbling river in Lyons Colorado. This isn’t just a locals festival, it’s a worldwide calling. People drive up from Denver for the weekend, fly in from out of state, and even from out of the country just for this event. In many ways it’s the highlight of many people’s summers and this year’s festival again demonstrated why this festival has worked it’s way into the hearts and minds of so many.

The exceptionally talented folk singer/songwriter Josh Ritter will be making two Colorado stops next week – a stop at historic Chautauqua Auditorium next Monday night and the recently saved Mishawaka on Wednesday. Ritter’s shows are always special due to his ability to convey timeless poetic narratives with warm genuine vocals and a smile. We had the pleasure to speak with Josh recently about a handful of topics and were left more excited for the show and a new album.
