July 2nd – Float Like a Buffalo
Float Like a Buffalo is Horn-driven Ska-funk-reggae-rock. Nods to the funk of Lettuce and The Motet, jam of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, rock of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chicago Transit Authority, soul of James Brown, & high-energy guitar licks of Jimi Hendrix all combine to make a unique sound that’s impossible not to dance to.
The band has become a regional funk sensation over the past five years, playing sold out and near-sold-out shows at major Colorado venues like Red Rocks, The Bluebird Theater, Gothic Theatre, Levitt Pavilion, and Marquis Theater – and taking the crown for Best Funk Band in Denver in Westword’s 2019 Music Awards.

Join the EMO KIDS for hours of your favorite emo hits at one of their next shows.

July 30th – Tanner Laws Band
Country
Born and raised in the mountains of Western Montana is independent country artist Tanner Laws. Priding himself on his authentic approach to storytelling, Laws first discovered that passion while pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering. While the rising singer-songwriter followed through to graduation and began working in the chosen field, he eventually stepped away to wholeheartedly chase a career in music. Finding inspiration from artists such as Marty Robbins, Tyler Childers and Turnpike Troubadours, his sound is uniquely his own and reflects his deep love for the outdoors and the rugged charm of performing in bars and rodeos. With a growing catalog, he delivers a traditional country style grounded in authenticity and marked by a distinct originality. Already opening for Clint Black, Colby Acuff, Corey Kent and Braxton Keith, amongst others, Laws is here to stay - and definitely one to watch.

August 6th – The Galentines
Rock
The Galentines are an all-girl indie-rock band who are the very heart of the local music scene in Boulder, Colorado. They are known for their stunning harmonies blended into epic instrumental solos that remind the listener of classic rock bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd, while maintaining their punk edge with biting lyricism. Their music “celebrates the complexity of womanhood, capturing all of its challenges and triumphs” (Medium), while breaking the barriers that define the female experience. Encompassing multiple genres, including indie, punk and rock, the girls just released their heavily anticipated single Eden, which is now available on all streaming platforms.
