In April she opened up for Graham Nash and David Crosby at The Paramount Theatre, late summer brought her to the mainstage of The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, and Swallow Hill Music Association presented her “Folk-Opera” Hadestown in October. Her new album, Young Man in America, will be released on February 28th.

The L2 Arts and Cultural Center on Colfax is not the type of place you would expect to see Hayes Carll play, and that’s why Saturday night’s show was so great!

Crooked Still took concert goers on a musical journey through time on Thursday night as they masterfully reinterpreted material ranging from Claude Ely’s 1934 “Ain’t No Grave” to Paul Simon’s 1973 classic “American Tune.” Each and every song was sung and played with understanding, as if the members of Crooked Still had contributed to the material when it was originally written.
