Swallow Hill Music Association promotes the joy of learning and listening to roots music. One of the most beloved physical parts of Swallow Hill is the Café stage. It was THE original stage from the Denver Folklore Center Concert Hall days, and has hosted a plethora of iconic talent, from Utah Phillips to Taj Mahal, from Joan Baez to Doc Watson and many, many more.
Deeply rooted in old time, folk and traditional American music, The Mile Markers are a home grown folk group from Denver, Colorado. The Mile Markers play music for the new depression featuring the songwriting of Julie Stratton, guitar and Bevin Foley, fiddle with Sal Clark, banjo and Nicki Handy, Bass. Their music celebrates love and loss equally; it is music that rejoices in both the joys and sorrows of life. In a time of economic crisis when people are surrounded by all types of loss, The Mile Markers take a minute to remind us that tomorrow is a new day. Hope is in the future. With an uncanny ability to draw the listener into a very intimate landscape the music of The Mile Markers is the music of rejuvenation that reminds us that we are all in this together. Their live shows create an atmosphere of celebration, reviving the spirit by singing songs and dancing the night away.
After many years of playing acoustic music together, the She Said String Band formed and has provided a sweet relief along the Front Range bluegrass scene. The band features Sal Clark on old time, claw hammer banjo, Julie Gussaroff's singing, beautiful songwriting, and mandolin chops, the tunes, vocals and guitar picking of Allison Weiss, and Ashley Authement on upright bass. Like a breath of fresh air, the harmonies developed within their songs are as equally charming as their enthusiasm for picking!,
Don't miss this exciting event!
