We are a youthful Grateful Dead Tribute band from Boulder. As a group in our early 20s, we provide an energetic and refreshing sound to the timeless music of the Dead. While attracting new listeners we equally impress the most experienced Dead Head. We've built a strong following in the front range and have packed out the Little Bear in Evergreen 3 times in 2025. We feel we would be a phenomenal energetic closing act for Elevation Celebration. (Also a few of our members are from Conifer/Evergreen and would be very joyous to share our sound to their home communities)

LEE & Co. is a rock band from Denver, Colorado playing... "The Music from the early days of Rock'N'Roll"

"When you experience Teresa Storch Band, you first feel the solid, rhythmic energy: the pulse of a meditative ballad or the infectious groove of a jam-rock tune. Next you notice the catchy, guitar-laden melodies. As your ears dig deeper you’ll find the lyrics pulling at your heart and soul. This is what happens when a singer/songwriter from the Boston area creates music with an electric guitarist from the New Jersey jam scene. Teresa Storch Band grew organically from the meeting of (now husband and wife) Teresa Storch and Peter Lacis. Storch’s soulful voice and lyrics combine with Lacis’ soaring and complex guitar arrangements, creating an original, genre-pushing rock sound with jam and roots origins. As the Teresa Storch Duo, Storch and Lacis have toured internationally, performing at festivals in Scotland and Ireland. Their forthcoming album will be released in January 2024. Teresa Storch Band includes musicians from the vibrant Boulder area. Most recently bassist Chad Mathis and drummer/recording engineer Chris Wright (both from Billy Shaddox, Antonio Lopez Bands) joined. In 2020 the four began recording a full length album with drummer Travis Moberg (Sylva, Dang’o) and producer Tony Dickinson, who tours with the rock-arena show Trans-Siberian Orchestra and is the creator of Sylva."

Yes indeed. Tyron Benoit continues to make a name for himself on stage after stage, with a growing list of festival invitations. He is most certainly known for his bawdy, hard-driving music, frequently punctuated by the distinct Louisiana stamp of dance-floor packing accordion, alongside growling electric guitars and an unstoppable rhythm section… But he's also a true singer/songwriter with an array of tender ballads about life, love, and loss. He served in combat as a United States Marine, is a devoted family man, and writes music from the heart. His stage presence alternates between a fiery revival tent preacher - and a soulful troubadour. His energy is electric and his range is wide, but there is a common thread that weaves through his music that is familiar as a Thanksgiving family meal or a rockin' house party. And the fan base just keeps growing...
