Jenny Don't and the Spurs have spent over a decade forging their own path in music, pioneering a unique brand of high-energy Country Western that captivates fans from the traditional Western scene to the raw energy of garage rock. Their captivating stage presence, infectious enthusiasm, and extensive discography have garnered them a global following, leading to tours on continents rarely visited by country bands.
 Jenny Don't, known for her strong-willed and independent nature, embodies the authentic outlaw spirit of Country Western music. Her songwriting, influenced by the contrasting landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern desert, forms the bedrock of their sound. The band skillfully merges their garage-rock origins with a distinct western flair, characterized by driving tempos, gritty fuzz tones, and a high-octane, rockin' western delivery that sets them apart from the herd. Their music authentically captures the outlaw spirit, with hints of gritty surf like Dick Dale, while paying homage to classic country legends like Johnny Paycheck and George Jones.
Now with Buddy Weeks on drums, the band continues to showcase their resilience and fresh energy. Bass player Kelly Halliburton and lead guitarist Christopher March, whose reverb-drenched tones echo the haunting allure of the desert night sky, round out the core. Jenny Don't and the Spurs are dedicated to crafting memorable and authentic music, pulling from a variety of genres to emphasize authenticity over conformity. As Jenny says, "We've got a lot of open road ahead of us." 
Much like the rhinestones on their custom outfits, handcrafted by Jenny herself, the band shines brightly, illustrating their dedication to creating memorable and authentic music.

For the past decade, Tylor & the Train Robbers have been blazing trails, carving a path through the heartland with their roots country and Americana music. With boots worn thin from relentless touring, they've crisscrossed the country, honing their craft and delivering electrifying performances, leaving a trail of devoted fans in their wake.

Brothers Tylor Ketchum, Jason Bushman, and Tommy Bushman form the core of this musical powerhouse. Tylor, the eldest, takes the reins as the band's frontman, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter, weaving stories through his lyrics.

“Ketchum has a voice laced with the same western gravelly baritones that tend to stand out as “Western” but his approach is decidedly more rock than country, and his delivery still touches on poetic.” - Josh Crutchmer

Jason, on bass and backup harmonies, and Tommy, on drums and vocals, provide the steady heartbeat and backbone that defines the band's signature sound. Antonio Vazquez’s Electric Guitar chops add layers of depth and emotion to their music. Rounding out the Bands sound, Antonio Vazquez melds it all together with his melodically proficient Lead Guitar style.

“Perhaps no band combines what Western roots music has always been and what it will become quite like the Train Robbers. It is this combination of tradition and fresh take that makes them a must-listen.” - Josh Crutchmer

Float Like a Buffalo is a Denver-based 6-piece, 9-instrument, high-energy Funk Rock band. Our style is rock with funk, ska, reggae, and jam influences. 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, together since 2016, has become a regional funk/jam sensation over the past several years, playing sold out and near-sold-out shows at major Colorado and national venues like Red Rocks, Cervantes, The Bluebird Theater, Gothic Theatre, Levitt Pavilion, Summit Denver, The Lincoln Theatre (Cheyenne, WY), George’s Majestic Lounge (Fayetteville, AR), and Meteor (Windsor, ON)  – and taking the crown for Best Funk Band in Denver in Westword’s 2019 Music Awards.   

In early 2019, Float Like a Buffalo released their freshman full-length album, Back From Nowhere, at a near-sold-out release party at the historic Gothic Theatre. The band followed this rocket start to the year with shows at Red Rocks (Local Set), The Marquis Theater, Levitt Pavillion, and Westword Music Showcase. In the summer of 2019, Float Like a Buffalo made their debut on the Red Rocks Main Stage as an opener for Face Vocal Band. They also received the award for Best Funk Band from Denver Westword and were listed among the Top 30 Rock Bands in Denver by 303 Magazine.  In August 2019, Float Like a Buffalo released their new single, Gone By Morning, and the Music Video to go with it, at a packed party at The Gothic Theatre.  

Following that, they had the opportunity to play directly ahead of Sting at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience (sold out) and to open for Big Sam's Funky Nation and Dragon Smoke (feat. members of Galactic and Dumpstaphunk).  

Float Like a Buffalo started 2020 off with a sold-out Single Release Party at Denver's historic Bluebird Theater and a big win at Summer Camp On the Road Tour Battle of the Bands, securing their spot at Summer Camp Music Festival later in 2021. The band worked hard during quarantine, and released a new single, Sunday Afternoon, which was 100% recorded, mixed and mastered by the band members in quarantine, the music video for the single, and a fan music video for their original song, Stay Alive. The Band also completed The Yard Ahead Tour, a live + live-stream hybrid concert experience sponsored by Breckenridge Brewery. In October 2020, Float Like a Buffalo sold out a 2-night run of socially distanced shows at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. Following that, the band also sold out two nights at The Soiled Dove Underground for their Vertigo EP Release Show. 

In 2021, Float Like a Buffalo made strides into the national scene, entering the national festival circuit at Summer Camp Music Festival and touring the nation throughout the year, culminating in a 5-week tour through the midwest, Texas, and the South.  The band steamed forward in 2022, appearing on festival lineups across the nation, opening for legendary bands such as WAR at The Lincoln Theater in Cheyenne, Wyoming, marking their largest out of state venue show to date, and touring across the entire United States to warm receptions in cities like Dallas, Bozeman, San Diego, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Lincoln and more.

In 2023, Float Like a Buffalo completed their first International tour in celebration of their sophomore full-length album, Day Late, Dollar Short, touring successfully across the midwestern United States, Canada, and New York. Summer 2023 brought a packed festival lineup for the band, who shared the stage with Lettuce, The Motet, Pepper, The Main Squeeze, Paul Cauthen, Sam Bush, Eminence Ensemble, Evanoff, LowDown Brass Band and many more. 

Cole Clark and High Horse traverse the States playing traditional country/western and rowdy honky-tonk music. From Hank Williams to Dwight Yoakam, they cover the vast landscape of Country. Borrowing from the ways of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen and hailing from Arizona, High Horse is an inspired honky-tonk bar-band.

Cole sees Honky-Tonk as a niche type of variety band. “To cover the bases of country music, you can play everything from blues, to jazz, to bluegrass, to rock, to cajun music - country takes on so many flavors. In any given show, we’ll have swing, shuffles, waltzes, train beats, rockin’ anthems, sad songs, and rowdy, silly, showy tunes like ‘Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette’ and ‘Hot Rod Lincoln’. Hopefully some fiddle and pedal steel, too.”

High Horse has opened for Easton Corbin, Ricochet, and Justin Jeansonne. They're in steady rotation at the historic country bars around Phoenix, including Handlebar J in Scottsdale, the Dirty Drummer in Phoenix, and Harold's Corral in Cave Creek. The band was formed through Cole’s connections with musicians at Horse and Hyde, hence the name honoring the founding place. Every show invites the audience on a spirited, twangy journey through a uniquely American tradition.
