Sugar Britches

Sugar Britches are the dynamic duo of Brian Johanson and Josh Long, singing high-brow honky-tonk with eclectic guitar stylings and clever lyrics. They have released their first album, Don't Make Her a Mixtape Yet You Idiot in 2019 and have been playing non-stop along the Front Range of Colorado and beyond.

They won Best New Band of 2018 from the Fort Collins Musicians Association, and were nominated for Best Country Band in 2019 by the Denver Westword. In 2019 they opened for The Reverend Horton Heat, Hymn for Her and Pokey LaFarge in regional theaters. They have played the 2019 Denver Westword Music Showcase, Bohemian Nights at New West Fest and various festivals throughout Colorado.

Treeo

Elevating music to new heights, Tree-o features three musicians — cellist Russick Smith, violinist Karen Lauffer, and mandolinist Kevin Larkin – who hold concerts in the forest, high among the pine boughs and branches. They perform original 'Campfire Classical' melodies while perched in the trees. Tree-o strives to make chamber-folk music a whimsical yet powerful experience that brings together people of all ages and from all walks of life. The members of Tree-O enjoy performing in an unexpected location, which amplifies the magical experience of live music performance. In addition to connecting to other music appreciators, people who attend Tree-O performances have the opportunity to connect to and appreciate Mother Nature.
