ABOUT SUSTO STRINGBAND

Genre: FOLK / Country

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC

Justin Osborne has been performing as ‘Susto’ since 2013, when he formed a collective of fellow musicians and artists in coastal Charleston, South Carolina. Now a bona fide emissary of alt rock and treasure to the indie crowd, a lifelong calling coupled with a cosmic push of serendipitous happenstance led to his latest venture: ‘Susto Stringband’ joined by Americana vocalist Clint Roberts, clawhammer banjoist Helena Rose, and upright bassist Joey Brown (now Holler Choir).

Lightning struck as an immediate connection and artistic chemistry captured a new sound and visualization that unfolds on Susto Stringband’s debut release from New West Records, simply titled “Susto Stringband: Volume 1.” Nine of Osborne’s ballads, refrains and heart wrenching confessions, now drenched in the singular Appalachian sound of Holler Choir’s verdant harmonies and stringed arrangements. Still, steeped in the emotive punch of the traditional string band sound, Susto Stringband presents an Arcadia like vision of pastoralism and and harmony with nature, but with Osborne’s lyrics, there are landmines to dodge and mountains to climb.

ABOUT THE LAST REVEL

Genre: Folk / Country

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY

Much like their sorrowful, purposeful melodies, the members of The Last Revel contain this thick thread of self, and of place, when it comes to the underlying trait in the sounds and scope of their intent, onstage and in the studio — survival mode.

“Honestly, I don’t know if we would’ve been able to do this career for as long as we have without persistence,” says guitarist Lee Henke. “By living in a challenging place, it’s definitely conditioned us to have a high tolerance for discomfort, a certain toughness to push ahead.”

That sentiment of tenacity and passion lies at the heart of The Last Revel’s latest album, Gone for Good. Produced by Trampled by Turtles lead singer Dave Simonett, the record is a multilayered ode to the life of an artist, life on the road, and what it means to be a human being in uncertain times.

“This is a step in our careers that feels like there’s no going back,” says banjoist Ryan Acker. “There’s a level of commitment now that, just a couple of years ago, we didn’t fathom we could take on. The boat is off the shore and you can’t see land anymore — we’re in it now.”

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Americana/indie-folk outfit harkens to the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of what it means to pursue your dreams in real time. The foundation of which is conjured by a deep appreciation and genuine respect for the vast landscape and sometimes-harsh realities of what it means to emerge from the Midwest.

“We grew up in the Midwest and we’ve all kind of stayed in this region of the country,” Henke notes. “This place has imprinted itself on who we are, and that challenge of life here is part of who we are now.”

Alongside Henke and Acker is fiddler Vinnie Donatelle. When the ensemble finds themselves behind the microphone, it’s the culmination of their vocal talents that truly showcases the mission of The Last Revel — harmony.

“There’s no better feeling [when we’re singing together],” Acker says. “And it makes you understand something primal, these melodies and these harmonies. It’s internal and it’s really powerful to sing your heart out with the people you love and your best friends.”

The seeds for The Last Revel were initially planted when Acker and Henke met in college in Wisconsin and started jamming together. Following graduation, the duo eventually headed for Minnesota, crossed paths with Donatelle, and started putting together a musical project. By 2011, the group was formed in Minneapolis.

“The name comes from the idea of saying, ‘One last go, one last celebration,’” Henke recalls. “It’s treating every show like it could be the last one kind of makes it extra special each time. It’s become a mantra through all the hardships we’ve been through — it’s crazy we get to do this, so let’s act like it might be the last one.”

“It feels like a miracle,” Acker adds. “This is a career where, hell or high water, this is what I’m doing. This is something we feel genuine about creating and sharing with people — there’s no other option.”

Early on in the band’s tenure, The Last Revel was clocking in around 200 shows each year, and did so for several years. Burnout was real, with the act deciding to go on hiatus in 2019 to recalibrate and reenergize what it is within the group that remains steadfast.

“I tried to quit music. And then, the moment I accepted [I was done], I wrote five new songs the next day,” Henke shakes his head in awe. “There’s always been a real therapeutic element to writing music for me. And it goes beyond that now, where if I don’t write for [a while], I feel pent up — there’s something that needs to come out.”

A couple years went by, with Henke and Acker eventually circling back to one another. The musical chemistry and unbreakable camaraderie was still intact, with each thinking the same thing — let’s give music another shot. To note, Gone for Good is The Last Revel’s second album since reuniting in 2021.

“We spent so much time together in our twenties and thirties where, even as friends, let’s just get back together and see how it feels,” Acker says. “Let’s just record some music and release it.”

“The first step was all about just reconnecting — to hell with anyone else giving a damn about the music,” Donatelle adds. “The only important thing is playing some music together.”

When The Last Revel released Dovetail in 2023, the reunion album sparked wildfire, whether it was with longtime, loyal fans of the band or newcomers coming across the group by mere happenstance. Now back on the road on the stage, the bandmates were happily surprised by the unexpected response by sold-out gigs wherever they toured.

“It kind of took us off-guard,” Acker says of the fan response. “And it’s become this reciprocal, motivating thing now. People didn’t forget about us, and many more discovered our music over COVID than we had anticipated — the music we made is continuing to reach people.”

“That initial response was so powerful,” Donatelle adds. “But, on the other end of things, [the music] was never about any of us individually. It’s about the way that people connected to our music and just the way the music had a life of its own outside of us.”

Reflecting on Gone for Good, Acker feels a real, tangible, more so positive shift in what it is The Last Revel aims to do moving forward. It’s this collective realm of collaboration, all in hopes of connectivity not only between the bandmates, but also the audience itself night in and night out — from coast-to-coast and back around to Minnesota.

“And I think that shows up more on this record than ever,” Acker says. “We’ve finally clicked on what the band’s purpose is, the ethos behind all of this — we’re figuring out how to be ourselves and be happy through the music.”

ABOUT BOTH SIDES NOW

Genre: SINGER/SONGWRITER

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM

“Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff…”

With these words, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now – a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as A Case of You, Hallelujah, Big Yellow Taxi, Suzanne, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s, and of right now — offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.

Artist Bios:

Robbie Schaefer

Robbie is a rabbi, singer-songwriter and theatre/film artist. The guitarist and songwriter for the indie folk band Eddie From Ohio has several solo releases as well, including the 2023 single Under the Sun.

He is the founder of Lamplighters, an online community that cultivates small-batch, relationship-driven, inclusive Judaism.

He is also the founder of OneVoice, an international non-profit that unites and empowers youth through music and the creative arts. The organization was active from 2011-2023 and completed projects in Tanzania, Nicaragua, India, Greece, and Israel.

Robbie has shared the stage with Jason Mraz, Sara Bareilles, Josh Groban, Keb ‘ Mo, and Emmylou Harris, among others. His first work for musical theater, Light Years, which explores his relationship with his father, a Holocaust survivor, saw its world premiere at the Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre in 2018. The musical is now a feature film entitled Burst The Silence (Rolling Pictures), which is due for release on streaming platforms in 2025.

He is currently at work on a new musical, The Blue Poppy, an Irish-Jewish ghost story written in collaboration with Scottish playwright Grace Barnes, and Songs From The Wilderness, a new album of Jewish musical midrash (interpretation), due for release in early 2026.

Also, he likes olives. A lot.

Danielle Wertz

Danielle is a storyteller, collaborator, jazz musician, composer and arranger. Her voice—described by DownBeat Magazine as “evocative… remarkably intimate, expressive and poignant”—has earned her an international following as a jazz artist and growing recognition across disciplines.

​Wertz began her career deeply rooted in the jazz tradition, gaining early acclaim as the youngest semi-finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition and runner-up in the 2017 Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition. After releasing two small ensemble albums as a bandleader and a third with Denmark’s Nordkraft Big Band that critics called, “a triumphant collection,” Danielle has affirmed her singular voice in contemporary vocal jazz and continues to expand her presence in genre-blurring large ensemble work.

After completing her first European tour as a bandleader in the fall, Danielle remains an avid collaborator internationally and at home in the NYC creative music scene. She is looking forward to being the featured artist on two major interdisciplinary projects in 2026: a Harriet Steinke original work commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects, and a crossover jazz opera composed by Ben Morris with a libretto by Gina Stevensen.

Also, she loves chocolate. A lot.

ABOUT GREGORIAN PURE CHANTS

Genre: CHOIR

WEBSITE

For 25 years, GREGORIAN have thrilled millions of people worldwide with their choreographed shows and their ability to switch seamlessly from classical chorales to pop and rock songs. Their concerts have set new standards.

With over 2,000 shows in 36 countries and more than 11 million albums sold, GREGORIAN are the most successful choir in the world.

In Spring 2026, GREGORIAN will continue with their PURE CHANTS World Tour in the USA.

Frank Peterson, the creator and producer of GREGORIAN says: “Our Pure Chants concerts bring the most popular GREGORIAN classics in an atmospheric and tranquil sound environment. Pure Chants concerts are extremely peaceful, yet spectacular and unite the audience with the most beautiful melodies in the world.”

The idea for GREGORIAN was born when Frank Peterson visited the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Spain in 1989. Wandering through the medieval monastery and castle complex and listening to contemporary music on his Walkman, he found the inspiration for the sound experiment of mixing ancient Gregorian music with modern music.

Peterson first realized his idea with Michael Cretu and the worldwide sound phenomenon “Enigma”. Their first album “MCMXC a.D.” was released in 1990 and quickly became a worldwide success.

“MCMXC a.D.” was number 1 in 41 different countries and went 57 times platinum and 45 times gold. It is considered as the most successful German album of all time worldwide.

At twenty her first co write was released with a chart placement for the Spanish artist Princessa. From there she went on to collaborating on the first written track for Gregorian titled Moment of Peace. This track went on to receive platinum awards around the world and Amelia began touring with them as the only female.

Between yearly tours with Gregorian and co writing many, many tracks for them, Amelia has toured the world with Sweetbox, Albert Hammond and Sarah Brightman as a vocalist.

ABOUT DONAVON FRANKENREITER

Genre: FOLK / BLUES

WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / TIKTOK

For nearly two decades Donavon Frankenreiter has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. Born in Southern California, Donavon spent most of his youth chasing waves, turning pro at the age of 16. These days instead of surf competitions, it’s concert halls that bring Frankenreiter to town, where he entertains audiences with his unique blend of laid-back grooves, philosophical lyrics and soulful delivery. This year, Frankenreiter is releasing his first studio in 9 years, out September 20, 2024. The album, entitled Get Outta Your Mind, marks the 20 year anniversary of his self-titled debut album.

ABOUT THE SUNDAY SPINS

THE SUNDAY SPINS is a vibrant vehicle for sharing analogue appreciation with friends in hopes of making new ones in the process.

The brainchild of California based photographer and record collector/selector, Adam Walker, THE SUNDAY SPINS started as a casual way to bring light through dark times through LIVE stream sessions. No plan. No agenda. Just music and connection. It was a way to bring a little light through the speakers, for myself and for anyone who happened to tune in.

Over time, it grew— and it’s still growing. The streams turned into real-world gigs. Into trips built around crate digging, documenting records stores, music scenes, and mixing it up with people who live and breathe this stuff all over the world. What never changed was the feeling. That moment when a track—wax or not—makes the hairs on your arm stand up and everything slows down for a few minutes.

Join us for the premiere of an original musical composition created entirely by local student musicians. This performance is the culmination of the Aspen Music Festival and School and TACAW’s first Collective Composition Workshop.

About the Program

The Collective Composition Workshop invites students in grades 4-12 to come together for an intensive, week-long creative process. Centered on student voice and leadership, the workshop encourages participants to explore themes that matter to them and to express their experiences through sound. Guided by professional musicians who have honed this educational approach with young artists nationwide, students nurture their innate creativity and build confidence as collaborators while composing an original piece of music together.

Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, this year’s creative process was inspired by the America250 youth essay prompt: “What does America mean to you?” The resulting composition belongs entirely to the students and often reaches beyond what they typically encounter in traditional music lessons. This performance showcases that artists of all ages and abilities can contribute meaningfully to the future of American music.

ABOUT SWEET JESSUP & THE DIRTY BUCKETS

Genre: FOLK/AMERICANA

WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM /FACEBOOK / SPOTIFY

ABOUT BOTTLE OF FOOLS

SWEET JESSUP and the Dirty Bucket’s debut album synthesizes the vibe of what you are going to get at a live show–syncopated folk blues fun, light-hearted lyrics, and an unpredictable modern barn stomp. The song “God Damn” is a fiery commentary, while “Interstate Gospel Fate”takes us down the road of long distance love and untimely car trouble. “Drink this in” celebrates the organic panoply of life and “Flibbertygibbets,” well…should we really say more? Dive into this album to celebrate, sing, laugh at, and reflect on our tragic beautiful flaws.

Nine songs riff on the modern experience with a contemporary folk, perspective and an indie sensibility and “new timey” in nature–acoustic guitar, singing saw, cornet, bucket drums, cheeky lyrics, violin, and bass.

Recorded at Cool Brick Studios, the band collaborated with a variety of local musicians to bring a full-bodied aroma to the album. Pat Fagan adds deep accents with his euphonium. Jodi Henderson lightens things up with her playful clarinet. Sweet Jessup’s show this year will be one of their best as they bring three years stylized collaboration, jams, and original tunes to make you shimmy shake with their gritty folk story telling and acoustic blue driven mountain rag tunes.

ABOUT SWEET JESSUP & THE DIRTY BUCKETS

Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets have one trashy jam sound. Literally, the percussionist plays old used buckets and thrift store treasures. Bluesy, groovy, folksy, clanky, and dancy, Sweet Jessup draws inspiration from American root blues, folk, and ragtime traditions. We play all original songs that are catchy, fun, and upbeat. Come out to dance with us!

ABOUT PATRICK FAGAN

Patrick Fagan is based in Carbondale and performs throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians.

He regularly performs as part of the Bruell Fagan Duo with Marc Bruell, and he has played in the blues band Electric Lemon. During Oktoberfest season, Patrick travels across Colorado with Those Austrian Guys. When he is back east, he joins the Honk Family Band for street festivals in Boston and New York.

ABOUT DAR WILLIAMS

Genre: Folk

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY

“It’s a highway, filled with deep, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast,” says Dar Williams, describing modern life. On her 13th album, Hummingbird Highway, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.

On the title track, Williams sings from the perspective of a child speaking to her peripatetic and sometimes struggling parent. Blooming columbines, china blue teapots, and cinnamon bark number among the “treasures” in her life, despite the “pirates” that she imagines populating her worldly parent’s life. “The pirates can be all sorts of things living inside and outside your head. The child, for better or worse, knows that there is joy, unpredictability, and instability on the home front. She’s rooting for the joy.”

Since 2013, Williams has been leading songwriting workshops where she teaches students to let songs find their own trajectories. While writing the breezy bossa nova “Tu Sais Le Printemps,” (single release 7/29/25) Williams questioned why she was writing a light, flirty song amidst many gloomy news stories. “I was having coffee with some of my fellow retreat leaders and Beth Nielsen Chapman, telling them about my ‘frilly’ song, and Beth said, ‘That’s just what I want to hear right now!’ It was a nice moment to follow my own advice and let the song find its way.”

With help from Williams’ collaborators, the other songs found their paths as well. Mainly produced by Ken Rich at Brooklyn’s Grand Street recording (with two tracks produced by Dave Chalfant in Western Massachusetts), the Hummingbird Highway sessions were a microcosm of the interdependence that provided inspiration from inception to full production. These songs are ecosystems that thrive on co-creation. Daisy Mayhem brings roots-rock energy to the bluegrassy “Put the Coins on His Eyes,” while long time touring-mate and collaborator Bryn Roberts creates both the hooks and immersive sonic landscapes of every musical genre. Simpatico “studio magic” can be heard in the happy rowdiness of the Richard Thompson cover, “I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight,” as well as in the contemplative “Sacred Mountain” where Williams wraps a halting melody around the narrator, a Buddhist who struggles to reconcile inward contemplation and political action. Through gray skies, snow pigeons, and petitions to stem industrial pollution, the character moves through shifting mindsets to work towards “what we see; what we breathe in time.”

Williams sees and breathes the way people connect with one another, as chronicled in what she calls her “take on urban planning,” What I Found in a Thousand Towns (Basic Books, 2017). “I traveled and watched how other people created these cool things like town-wide science fairs and hilarious celebrations of potatoes and chili, often going hand-in-hand with providing serious resources like food banks and free clinics,” she recalls. Along the way, she’s seen the devotion of strong unions (as in “Put the Coins On His Eyes”) and congressional reps alike. “Maryland, Maryland” was inspired by conversations with her friend, Rep. Jamie Raskin, about what a new state song would include. “In the end, my definition of a Maryland song was song about Jamie, who is a proud, patriotic son of the state.” As Williams continuously takes in the social landscapes of towns and cities, she has also taken them home, helping to start a thrift sale, chairing a community board, and helping to organize group sings in her New York hometown. “For someone who’s seen a lot of pavement and airports along with all the great places where I’ve played, it’s especially nice to come home,” she says.

As hummingbirds and folk singers fly, they gain perspective and not just distance. She finds that wise perch on “Olive Tree,” a single out on August 26. With production of stirring percussion and twinkling keys, she considers everything that’s led up to our current moment. Williams observes “all of these strangers and friends” talking about world events at parties and dinner gatherings and thinks back to all the iterations of those conversations from Aristotle on. In a moving verse, she conjures a time in 1913 when California Berkeley scientists planted an olive grove in the United States and imagined the generations who would meet in the olive trees’ shade for “over one thousand years.” When Williams promises “I’ll meet you here under an olive tree,” we all know that both she and we will, wherever and whenever we continue to foster olive trees and a human-scale, deeply-rooted democratic society.

Longtime listeners know that Williams and her music are always up for those kinds of conversations that glimpse the brightest colors, woven into the larger context of time. “As I’ve gotten older, I feel more comfortable holding a lot of different threads in my hand to create more complicated patterns. Time has given me a better ability to hold a bunch of colors and temperaments and see what happens, where they become interesting new stories and also where I need to stop and untangle the themes and characters. It’s daunting, and I’ve learned that, you know, daunting is fine, just keep going.”

ABOUT RUTH THEODORE

Distinguished british artist and ‘original folk voice’ Ruth Theodore has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed studio albums for over a decade.

Having started her career as a street busker on England’s south coast, Ruth is now signed to Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe records and sharing labels, stages and studios with iconic international artists, as a performer, writer and recently co-producer, making her critically acclaimed music alongside long term collaborators; Tony and Grammy award winning producer and bassist Todd Sickafoose, and Swiss-American virtuoso percussionist Mathias Kunzli.

Ruth’s music is inspired by lived experience which makes her a folk singer in essence, but there’s a strong sense of playful rebellion in her delivery that embodies hints of 1920s vauderville theatre, buckets of indie punk rock attitude and the relentless lyrical energy of a beat poet.

Busking and performing in bars from the age of 14 and then self releasing her first three records on DIY label River Rat Records, Ruth has led a nomadic existence, living between river boats, squats, and artist workshops in East London up until 2020 when she moved to co-run a music venue in the south of England. Theodore’s music reflects her naturally transient personality.

Over her career Theodore has carved a unique and instantly recognizable style that has seen her described as an “Original Folk Voice” in the Guardian; “A master of the long-form” and “An Institution” in FATEA magazine. As well as inviting record deals with London based label Aveline Records and current US based label Righteous Babe Records.

Ruth’s music and lyricism effortlessly pushes the boundaries of gender and genre.

Theodore is currently working on her 7th studio record and can be found touring the UK, USA and EU both solo and with her dynamic four piece band.

ABOUT JOSH RITTER

Genre: SINGER/SONGWRITER

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC

Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released eleven studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed ‘Fever Breaks’ of which NPR Music praised, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation, often within a single song.”

His twelfth studio album ‘I Believe in You, My Honeydew’ is out now. Two-plus decades into his celebrated career, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs.

The Book of Gold Thrown Open tour is meant to encompass the whole of Ritter’s career, versus focusing on any one studio album.

In addition to his work as a musician, Ritter is also a national best-selling author, having released two novels to date: 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All and 2011’s Bright’s Passage. Released to critical attention, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.”

“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip, but his hand has never felt surer.”

– NPR Music

“Harking back to Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.”

– The New York Times

“Mysterious, melancholy, melodic…and those are only the M’s.”

– Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly

ABOUT MARFA

Genre: Country / AMERICANA

WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM /FACEBOOK / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC / TIKTOK

Forged in Colorado with western influences and a shared appreciation for the Laurel Canyon music scene, Marfa delivers an unmistakably authentic Americana-Rock sound that is as familiar as your favorite pair of jeans and as fresh as the morning Rocky Mountain air. The duo (Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall) first introduced their classic-meets-contemporary musical style through their debut track “66,” produced by GRAMMY Award winner Nick Waterhouse (Leon Bridges, Jon Batiste) and recorded at Los Angeles’ legendary EastWest Studios, the same room that gave life to Pet Sounds and California Dreamin’. Momentum continued with the fan-favorite “Daisy,” now climbing at radio (#4 at Americana and #39 at AAA). After becoming the first act to sign with Ascend Music (a division of Big Machine Label Group) in July 2025, Marfa released “Little Miss Two Time,” which KCRW’s Today’s Top Tunes praised as “music that ties Laurel Canyon to West Texas,” calling their sound “a proverbial hay bale of beautiful harmonies and foot-stomping good times.” Now with “American Lonely” and “Little Lowdown,” the duo continues to bring “Denver Americana to the masses” (Westword) as they invite listeners into their expansive sonic imagination. Recently named “Best Breakout Folk Duo” in Westword’s Best of Denver 2025 issue, Marfa is quickly emerging as one of Americana’s most compelling new acts, now bringing their roots-meets-rock live show on the road this fall with Southall, The Mavericks, and Kashus Culpepper.

ABOUT CAYDEN WEMPLE

INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC

Cayden Wemple is a Los Angeles based Indie-Emo-Folk singer-songwriter. Born and raised in San Luis Obispo, Wemple picked up guitar at an early age and has been enamored with the instrument ever since. His interest and dedication to songwriting came years later, gathering musical inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver, Bright Eyes, and Phoebe Bridgers. He attended the University of Colorado – Denver, where he studied songwriting and music business. During college, Wemple played in an Emo band, Keep Off the Grass – a project that he spent the better part of 4 years writing and playing shows for. After the band dispersed, Wemple began writing his own songs again – this time marrying his Indie/Folk roots with his newfound appreciation for Emo music. In the Summer of 2022, he recorded a group of singles and started posting them on TikTok, eventually garnering attention and leading him to release his debut single “not to catch you by surprise.” Shortly after being released, the song received editorial support from Spotify, landing on Fresh Finds Folk. Since then, Wemple’s music has continued to find success across streaming and social media platforms, leading him to be discovered and signed by R&R (records) and Interlude Studios (management). Coming off the release of his recent EP (‘Roommates’), as well as having new collaborations with artists such as Runnner, Shallow Alcove, Grace Gardner, and Khatumu out in the world – Wemple’s passion and energy for his craft is at an all-time high. With more unreleased music in the pipeline and a steady stream of live shows on the horizon, there is much to look forward to from Cayden Wemple.

ABOUT JONATHA BROOKE

Genre: SINGER/SONGWRITER

WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / APPLE MUSIC

Jonatha Brooke is what happens when literate songwriting meets fearless innovation, a singular voice in modern music whose work is as much chamber poetry as it is folk-pop. Trained in the rigor of classical composition yet born with a Broadway-bound belt and a novelist’s eye for character, she weaves deeply personal narratives with a rare melodic sophistication. From her early days with The Story to her solo triumphs, Brooke has quietly carved a niche where the emotional intelligence of Joni Mitchell meets the musical wit of Stephen Sondheim, all wrapped in a voice that aches, sparkles, and soars, often within the same phrase.

A true interdisciplinary artist, Brooke has not only penned a poignant, one-woman musical (“My Mother Has 4 Noses”), but she has also collaborated with luminaries like Katy Perry, Joe Sample, and the late Woody Guthrie, whose unpublished lyrics she set to music with the reverence of a curator and the daring of a jazz improviser. Whether commanding a stage with nothing but a guitar and a spotlight or orchestrating a lush studio album, Jonatha Brooke is never simply performing; she is sculpting emotion in midair, conjuring stories that linger like the final notes of a well-loved sonata.

ABOUT PROACTIVE & PREPARED: WILDFIRE IN THE ROARING FORK VALLEY

TACAW is pleased to partner with the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen Public Radio on an event designed to increase awareness and preparedness as wildfire season approaches.

Colorado is experiencing its warmest year in 131 years of record, and one of its driest. The Roaring Fork Valley sits at the epicenter, among the hardest-hit areas in the state for severe drought. With snowpack now peaked at historic lows, climate scientists are drawing comparisons to years that defined what catastrophic wildfire looks like in Colorado. This spring, wildfire risk across the our valley is as serious as it has ever been.

On May 6, TACAW is partnering with the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen Public Radio to bring our community together for a direct conversation about what these conditions mean for our valley, what local fire departments and researchers are doing about it, and what each of us can do to protect our homes and our neighbors. The evening begins with a community preparedness fair, followed by presentations and panels featuring climate scientists, local fire chiefs, and researchers whose work is focused specifically on this region.

If you’ve been wondering where things actually stand, this is the event to attend.

The evening is organized around three questions:

What are we facing this season?What is being done about it?What happens when fire comes?

Drawing on the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley’s work in fire behavior modeling and fuels mitigation, Aspen Public Radio’s deep ties to this community, and ACES knowledge of historic environmental science, the program brings together the people best positioned to answer those questions — climate scientists, local fire chiefs, researchers, and emergency response leaders — in one room, for one conversation.

PANELISTS

Moderator – Heather Sackett

Heather is the managing editor at Aspen Journalism and the editor and reporter on the Water Desk. She has also reported for The Denver Post and the Telluride Daily Planet. Heather has a master’s degree from CU’s Center for Environmental Journalism and her reporting has been recognized by the Colorado Press Association.

Christina Medved

Christina Medved is Director of Community Outreach at Roaring Fork Conservancy. She has waded into many rivers across the U.S., Peru and Costa Rica, in search of macroinvertebrates. In the last 28 years, Christina has taught thousands of people how to identify these aquatic organisms (fish food!). Christina was born and raised in Cleveland and did a lot of spin casting with her family on the many lakes and ponds that make up Northeast Ohio. (To this day she still believes her big brother is the best angler she knows!) She was used to catching bluegill and bass, but it was when she moved to Colorado that she started putting her aquatic insect knowledge to the test with fly fishing our world-class rivers. Her favorite fly to tie and fish with are her very own Wooly Buggers. As a certified teacher-trainer of the National Fishing in Schools Program, Christina has taught hundreds of youth and adults how to fly fish through RFC’s fly fishing camps and clinics over the last 9 years.

Lincoln Neiley

I grew up here in the Roaring Fork Valley. My dad taught my brother and me how to fish when we were very young. Fly fishing was something we would do every chance we had. We did many trips to the Bighorn, the Green, and many floats down the Roaring Fork. I graduated high school in 2004 and took a job working for TIm Heng at the Taylor Creek Fly shop in Basalt. I learned a ton that summer. One of the things I learned was that guiding was more fun than selling flys. I got my first drift boat the following spring, and started as a guide. I was at the shop for 17 years. In 2022 I renewed the oufitters license that my dad had created in 1988. I am the Owner of Thunder River Outfitters and we take people float fishing on the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers. I feel fortunate to have incredible guides that I get to work along side: Mike Thomas, Jeremy Stott, Matthew Thomas, and Ed Dieson just to name a few. Getting in a drift boat for a day on our local rivers always puts a smile on my face and helps me remember just how lucky we are to have this incredible fishing in our back yard.

Scott Spooner

“Spooner” hails from rural Missouri, where he began his so-called career at an early age fishing for perch, catfish, bass and crappie. After he was introduced to the skiing scene in Crested Butte as a youngster, Colorado’s siren song pulled him westward once he was old enough to fly the coop. After working in the restaurant industry for over 26 years, Scott began a new career in the fly fishing industry in 2007 and never looked back. Whispered rumors of rainy summer day Fryingpan hatches drew him to the Roaring Fork Valley, and the myriad year-round fishing opportunities keep him rooted here. Now manager of Taylor Creek Fly Shop, he tends to be mostly an indoor cat versus outdoor at this point, but occasionally still guides when his schedule allows. Spooner produces the annual “Fly on the Wall” newspaper and is a weekly columnist in the Aspen Times and Post Independent with the popular “On the Fly” column. He is the Guide Coordinator for the Western Slope’s Casting for Recovery program and enjoys fishing the Louisiana marsh for redfish, hosting bonefish trips to Christmas Island, genealogy, tying flies, float fishing, and entomology.

ABOUT SUN JR.

Genre: ROCK

WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM /FACEBOOK / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY

Sun Jr. is the sons of the sons of the founders of rock n’ roll, part blues, part country, blended together to make the sound that changed the world. Like the acts from Sun Records, but with almost a centuries worth of influences and genres to bend.

On the family tree of The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and The Doors, and raised under the influence of their kindred cousins, My Morning Jacket, Sturgill Simpson and Wilco, the sound feels both familiar and original at the same time. [Try Sun Jr. Radio on Spotify] Yet out of their chemistry, love of improv and unique configuration of pedal steel, banjo, electric guitar, bass-organ, and drums, the band spins Rock n’ Roll in a way that is both classic and indie.

Never allowing the song structure to harness the impulse of the moment, Sun Jr. creates a wall of sound through their unique tapestry of folk, Americana, and rock, melded with swirling psychedelic effects, or what we call Psych-Mountain Rock. Effortlessly slipping through the ebb and flows of ethereal space ballads, dark surf waltzes, and swampy foot-stomping jams, the band plays the moment more than the song.

Layered above and within the song, dynamic dual vocals Jim Heekin and Matt Kubis both compliment and contrast one another, as Jim’s rumbling twin-engine aircraft echos between desert canyon walls, Matt’s banished angel calls out into the still mountain night. More an experience than performance, tune in and drop out with Sun Jr. and you’ll be reverberating in the glow of the little sun for days and nights to come.

Formed in 2013, and hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Sun Jr. has played in highlighted venues including Mackey Auditorium, The Boulder Theater, The Aggie, E-Town, The Skylark Lounge, Cervantes’ Next Door, Lulu’s Downtown, Roots Music Project, The Velvet Elk, The Lariat, and Big B’s Delicious Orchard.
