Extending a creative arc without comparison, he strikes a deep emotional chord on his 2024 full-length album, Better Will Come “Everyone wants to get better in some way,” he states. “The album highlights my own personal experience of growing, and you can potentially relate your story to what I went through. I learned a lot of hard lessons, but I made a conscious effort to grow in every way—not just musically, but physically, mentally, and spiritually. I did a lot of inner work, and I channeled these experiences into the music. If you pursue self-improvement, life improves around you too.” https://www.flamingosis.com DJ Harry DJ Harry has toured US/Canada with acts including Mark Farina, DJ Dan, Doc Martin, James Brown, The String Cheese Incident, Galactic, Spearhead, Particle, etc and has played festivals from Jam Cruise to Bonnaroo.

Taking inspiration from alternative masters like RJD2 and Pretty Lights, the Vermont-born and New York-based artist went from fiddling around on Garageband to conquering the world of electronic soul, playing major festivals and huge gigs on the same bill as the artists who inspired him. Wythe opened for Pretty Lights at Red Rocks all the way back in 2013, and he’s played the historic venue multiple times since in support of STS9 and ZHU while also landing slots at Camp Bisco, Hulaween, Electric Forest, and more. But for Wythe there is a musical apparatus that enthralls and defines him far more than any computer program. A sonic vehicle through which he can travel anywhere he wants to go. Whether he’s driving towards an escape from reality or going further within himself in search of growth and maturation. An instrument that has been a source of respite, joy, excitement, and insight since he was only 10 years old: the guitar.“Guitar is my thing, straight up,” Wythe says. “Guitar is a part of me at this point.” And in this coming phase of Marvel Years, listeners will get to explore that part of Wythe alongside him. He’s going deep. Making the music he’s always wanted to make. Giving his fans a true and honest reflection of who he is as an artist like never before. The inspirations of the new era are legends like Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmour, Santana, and John Mayer. “Louie Letdown” refers to a Denver Based Rapper & Producer . His work is available on platforms like SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple Music. “Letdown.” is a different artist, Blake Coddington, who is a Nashville-based alt-rocker known for his music about mental health, while “Louie TheSinger” is another artist with a different background. Other possibilities include Louie DeVito (a DJ) and Louie Shelton (a guitarist), or even the song “Louie Louie”

Animas City Theatre Presents Phyphr with 5AM Trio & McWavy Friday January 16th 2026 $30 / $35 / 21+ No Exceptions Including Minors with Legal Guardian $40 Two Night Pass for Friday January 16th & January 17th Phyphr is creating a buzz with his unique blend of electro-soul and funky electronic songwriting. Merging live guitar performances with electronic production, Phyphr brings a vibrant mix of instrumentation and original vocals to the forefront. His musical journey has led him to share stages with renowned acts such as The Floozies, Daily Bread, Manic Focus,SoDown, SunSquabi, and Maddy O’Neal. Originally from the east coast and now a Denver resident, Phyphr is adding his own twistto the Mile High City’s electronic sound. His dynamic performances have graced festivals including Summer Camp, Cascade Equinox, Hulaween, Gem & Jam, Dreamscape, and Sonic Bloom. Phyphr’s impact has been recognized by various publications, including 303Magazine, River Beats Dance, Electric Hawk, This Song Is Sick, EDMTunes, and T.H.E Music Essentials. Pulling threads from dance music, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and beyond, 5AM Trio blurs the lines between electronic production and live instrumental improvisation. What began as producer/keyboardist 5AM’s vision to merge high-fidelity electronic sound design with the spontaneity of a band has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble featuring the dextrous drumming of Aaron Harel (ZONE Drums) and the guitar wizardry of Keith Wadsworth (Wax Future). Their shows hit with club-level sonic precision while delivering the fire and interplay of a full-on jam session. The Trio’s genre-defying sets have lit up major stages from Red Rocks to Sonic Bloom, Elements, Summerdance, Resonate, and Secret Dreams, sharing bills with innovators like Papadosio, CloZee, Opiuo, Lab Group, Break Science, Lotus, and Tiedye Ky. But beyond the festivals and flashing lights, 5AM Trio thrives on human connection. They celebrate community—shouting out connection and sobriety,, donating a portion of every shows’ revenue to tree-planting efforts, and encouraging audiences to create their own art in any form. With a combination of r&b/psychedelic soul vocals, keyboards, saxophones, and eclectic instrumentation, McWavy’s live performance enchants audiences by connecting on an emotional level through colorful layers and genuine lyrics. Often compared to Tash Sultana and FKJ, McWavy has a unique sound that is brought to life from real experiences and felt in the truth of her words. You can expect the unexpected from this particular underdog, you never know what surprise is coming next! McWavy has shared the stage with a broad range of national/global acts such as: GRiZ, CloZee, Daily Bread, The Floozies, Michal Menert, Pretty Lights, Vincent Antone, Break Science, CARRtoons, BadSnacks, Late Night Radio, Manic Focus, Tripp St, SoDown, Anomalie, Freddy Todd, Exmag, Artifakts, The Russ Liquid Test, Jason Leech (tour), Honeycomb, Josh Teed (tour), Marcus King, and Marvel Years.

From the favelas in Brazil, Femi Kuti’s Shrine in Lagos, Tokyo’s bluegrass clubs, Ayahuasca ceremonies in Central America, Gamelan performances in Bali, desert festivals in the Australian Outback, and the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s modernized new capital Astana, the band spreads its message by building bridges across musical cultures in their own unique way. Dirtwire plays an array of instruments both ancient and modern, including West African kamale ngonis, jaw harps, space fiddles, whamola basses, Rickenbacher electric 12 string guitars, bowed Banjos and mouth harps from around the globe, all interwoven into modern laptop beat creation. Hailing from the underground west coast electronic bass music scene Dirtwire finds itself at the forefront of experimental electronic music production mixing in their wide array of world instruments with sampled beats and 808’s. Dirtwire’s live shows are a communal psychedelic journey, ranging from down home boot stomping get downs, to bass and blues electronic mashups, to ethereal cinematic beat driven soundscapes. Woven into each is the exploration of where live instruments meet computer production, and where tradition meets experimentation. Will Evans pulls everyone into his embrace. He musically accesses a space without boundaries where all are welcome to commune openly and move freely. Through quotable folk-inspired lyrics, breezy grooves, and roots energy, it’s as if he’s giving you permission to be that pure self you can’t always be at work or even at home…The Rhode Island-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist also puts his words into action via his “Kind Folk” fan community, activating small acts of kindness, charity, and goodwill in tandem with performances nationwide. After generating over 50 million streams independently, he inspires once again through a series of 2024 releases and much more to come.

An Evening with Keller Williams
LIMITED TICKETS AT ANIMAS TRADING COMAPNY Animas City Theatre Presents An Evening with Keller Williams Road to Tico Time Bluegrass Festival Thursday March 5th 2026 Doors 7:00pm – Keller Williams 8:00pm Tickets $40 – Show 21+ No Exceptions Including minors with legal guardian Tickets on Sale online Friday November 7th at 10:00am – Limited Paper Tickets available at Animas Trading Company on Friday November 7th (Cash Only w/ $1 Fee) SHOW IS STANDING ROOM ONLY W/ LIMITED SEATING IN OUR BALCONY www.kellerwilliams.net Virginian, Keller Williams, released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS, ADD, SPEED, CELL, DROLL and now DEER. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo. His stage shows are rooted around Keller singing his compositions and choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer and drum samples; a technique called live phrase sampling or“looping”. The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or ADM.” Keller’s constant evolution has led to numerous band projects as well; Keller & The Keels, Grateful Grass, KWahtro, Keller and the Travelin’ McCourys, Grateful Gospel, More Than A Little and most recently DeadPettyKellerGrass. You can even catch him from time to time going back to his troubadour roots with his “Shut the Folk Up and Listen” series. Keller can be found playing clubs and festivals with these projects and his tried and true solo looping show, always changing things up and keeping moving.

Growing up in the mountains of Colorado, the daughter of a Turkish bouzouki player father and ski bum mother, Ariel blossomed in the bluegrass scene she was surrounded by; always inspired by the mighty outdoors and power to be a wild woman. In 2019, Ariel released her first two singles Midnight Sun and Happy- both with their own unique style honoring all sides of her identity. Ariel later went on to release her debut album Wild Woman in 2022, an homage to her unique wild side, how she has navigated her early 20’s, relationships, and discovering her values as a woman. Ariel draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists; Brandi Carlisle, Norah Jones, and Colter Wall-to name a few. https://danaariel.bandzoogle.com Ely CartwrightFrom his midwestern roots to his home in the Southwest, Ely Cartwright explores the beauty and loss of everyday life in the pursuit of connection. Described as falling “somewhere between indie-folk and the singer-songwriter sounds of 1970s Laurel Canyon,” Cartwright has spent the last twenty years honing his craft as a songwriter and storyteller.https://www.elycartwright.com/
