There’s no doubt it was another cold weekend up in Steamboat for WinterWonderGrass, but there are so many hearty, do whatever it takes, music fans that things really heated up with the likes of Railroad Earth, Trampled By Turles, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Billy Strings!

The WinterWonderGrass Grass After Dark legacy has manifested through our attendees’ experiences of their favorite bands, bearing witness to iconic, true-to-WonderGrass moments in the most intimate of settings. Heading into the final month before the seventh annual Colorado festival, we’re pleased to announce this year’s Steamboat Grass After Dark, late night show series.
First of all, before we get too far down the road, each and every person who was in Steamboat for WinterWonderGrass last weekend is to be commended. From employees and organizers to fans and musicians, this was a dedicated bunch. Temperatures plunged down into the single digits as they worked, danced, poured, and played, but those who played music up on the big stage have to be singled out as the most hardcore of them all. While many could bundle up and put on the heaviest of ski gloves to keep fingers from freezing solid, those musicians had to keep their fingers dancing on the strings, skins, and keys in a vain attempt to keep the blood flowing.
WinterWonderGrass Festival is […]
On Thursday, June 15th, the main street of Colorado’s most captivating town, was abuzz with an energy and excitement as the crowds (some there for days) made their way to Town Park for the start of the 45th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival. There is no better setting for a music festival; there is no better music for such a setting.
Southern rockers JJ Grey & Mofro bluegrass players extraordinaire The Infamous Stringdusters and songcrafters Fruition will be kicking off the first official weekend of the Red Rocks summer season this year. With three great bands it should be quite the kickoff!
The fourth annual Winter Wondergrass Festival enraptured the small town of Avon, CO during a beautiful, bluebird weekend. In years’ past, snow, ice and freezing temperatures made the festival a struggle, but never impeded its reception. The combination of the near-perfect weather and stellar lineup made this year one of WWG’s best years yet.
Sharing a common love of music and life on the road, Fruition were originally brought together by the lure of adventure. For the last six years, the Portland, Ore. string infused quintet has racked up the miles playing sold out shows in their adopted hometown and garnering new fans across the country. Joined by The California Honeydrops, who don’t just play music—they throw parties. This is a weekend of music not to be missed!
