SUMMARY:Son Little With Tonina - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Son Little’s live show brings his music into a different kind of clarity- raw\, expressive\, and always evolving. Whether solo or with a full band\, he moves fluidly between deep grooves\, stripped-down intimacy\, and moments that feel completely improvised yet emotionally precise. It’s a performance style shaped by instinct and connection\, grounded in the richness of his voice and the depth of his songwriting. \nOver the past decade\, he’s cultivated a sound that draws from soul\, blues\, folk\, hip-hop\, and R&B – without ever settling fully into any one space. That spirit carries into the room when he performs\, offering something that feels both familiar and entirely his own. Audiences are pulled into songs built on texture and vulnerability\, delivered with equal parts grit and grace. It’s not just a setlist – it’s an experience. \nFollowing a run through the UK and Europe supporting Larkin Poe\, Son Little is back with a new wave of music and a fresh stretch of tour dates for winter and spring. His new album CITYFOLK is set for release in March 2026\, with recent singles “in orbit” and “be better” offering a first look at what’s to come – both onstage and beyond in the months ahead. \nTonina is a St. Louis-raised\, Brooklyn-based vocalist\, bassist and writer who brings a rich blend of Jazz\, Folk\, and Latin boleros into her music\, deeply influenced by her Sicilian and Black American heritage and passion for storytelling. \nHer artistry spans singing\, bass playing and songwriting creating an innovative sound that blends tradition with contemporary edge. She has garnered acclaim on NPR’s favorite new artists list and former President Barack Obama’s annual favorite songs list. \nShe performs solo and with her quartet on stages worldwide\, showcasing her multilingual repertoire in Sicilian\, English\, and Spanish. With over 5 projects\, Tonina is steadily building a reputation for their unique fusion of Black\, Latin\, and folk traditions\, and her upcoming projects promise to explore new sonic territories\, continuing her journey as one of music’s most exciting rising voices.

SUMMARY:Circles Around The Sun - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles-based instrumental supergroup Circles Around The Sun is a contemporary instrumental rock band\, initially formed in 2015\, when Justin Kreutzmann\, son of Grateful Dead drummer Bill\, invited founder Neal Casal to compose the intermission music for the Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts. \nAs those shows celebrated the band’s 50th anniversary\, Circles Around The Sun’s earliest compositions Interludes For The Dead were designed to reflect the Dead’s overall spacey\, improvised\, and groove-laden feel. \nThe response was so positive that they continued on with a follow-up project\, Let It Wander\, in 2018. This record was less influenced by the Dead and more free-form\, delivering on the roots influence of jazz-funk\, soul\, and fusion. \nThe band underwent a fundamental transition in 2019. After completing the Meets Joe Russo EP and a third album\, their guitarist Neal Casal died on August 26\, 2019. He left his bandmates a note asking for them to continue in his absence– to continue recording\, touring\, and playing together. The band decided to carry on with a rotating cast of guitarists\, landing on John Lee Shannon as the permanent replacement. They continue the legacy to this day. \nCircles Around The Sun is a first-of-its-kind band that has continued to trail-blaze the instrumental cosmic disco space for nearly a decade\, shapeshifting through several iterations. Not just spiritually but actually and tangibly linked to Grateful Dead history\, the band’s music shares shelf space with post-rock\, psych-rock\, jazz-funk\, and good old fashioned psychedelia\, while their recorded output has included collaborations with such diverse luminaries as Joe Russo\, Billy Strings and Mikaela Davis. Original instrumentals form the bedrock of CATS’ live show\, taking fans on a whole different journey every time. \nMeet the CATS: Adam MacDougall (keys)\, Dan Horne (bass)\, John Lee Shannon (guitar)\, Mark Levy (drums)

For more information on Jazz at Lincoln Center\, please visit www.jazz.org. \nWYNTON MARSALIS\nWynton Marsalis(Music Director\, Trumpet) is the Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center(JALC). Born in New Orleans\, Louisiana in 1961\, he is the son of renowned jazz pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis\, Jr. Marsalis was gifted his first trumpet at age six by Al Hirt; soon thereafter\, he began playing in New Orleans’ famed Fairview Baptist Church Bandled by banjoist Danny Barker. However\, it wasn’t until he turned twelve that Marsalis began to formally train on the trumpet and perform in bands throughout the city\, from the New Orleans Philharmonic and New Orleans Youth Orchestra to funk bands\, concert bands\, and small jazz ensembles. As a teenager\, his passion for music rapidly escalated. In 1979\, at the age of seventeen\, Marsalis moved to New York City to study classical trumpet at The Juilliard School. Yet he quickly entrenched himself in New York’s effervescent jazz scene\, launching his career with the legendary Art Blakey &The Jazz Messengers. At just nineteen\, Marsalis hit the road with his own band—he has been touring the world ever since. From 1981 to the time of this writing\, he has performed 5\,328 concerts in 856 distinct cities and 66 countries around the world. \nWynton Marsalis’ core beliefs and foundation for living are based on the principles of jazz. He promotes individual creativity (improvisation)\, collective cooperation (swing)\, gratitude and good manners (sophistication)\, and facing adversity with persistent optimism (the blues).

SUMMARY:MATTEO BOCELLI
DESCRIPTION:Falling In Love is an album rich in romantic yearning and vulnerability\, with passionate showpieces like Amnesia d’amore and the cinematic\, emotionally-charged pop ballad entitled If I Can’t Have You. Every track combines a power of classical tradition with modern storytelling. \nFalling in Love was recorded in his hometown of Tuscany with producer Martin Terefe (Shawn Mendes\, Jason Mraz) and a world-class ensemble. The album connects Matteo with his roots while also capturing the spirit of timeless romance.  Falling in Love marks a new era for Matteo\, blending his classical\, Italian heritage with modern pop for a taste of ‘la dolce vita’ – the album is steeped in the romance and elegance only Italy can provide. Order the album HERE. \nMatteo co-wrote all of the album’s original songs\, collaborating with acclaimed songwriters including Terefe\, Toby Gad (Beyoncé\, John Legend)\, Iain Archer (Snow Patrol)\, and Johan Carlsson (Ariana Grande). The result is a collection of songs that explores love\, vulnerability\, and connection\, all while showcasing his skill not only as a vocalist but also as a pianist and musician. \nMatteo has collaborated with stars like Ed Sheeran and Sofia Carson\, and performed for some of the biggest names across the world\, including King Charles III\, President Biden\, The Kardashians\, and even opened for Lionel Richie. He recently performed alongside his father during Snoop Dogg’s Holiday Halftime Party on NFL Christmas Gameday On Netflix. \nHe maybe a global heart-throb but love\, for Matteo\, isn’t a gimmick – it’s a philosophy. ‘Love is a universal language. There’s not just romantic love\,’ he says. ‘There’s heartbreak\, family\, childhood\, love for friends and even animals – even the love that changes as you grow.’ In an age of dopamine loops and disposable love songs\, Matteo’s music is about craving\, not clicking; desire\, not immediacy. It embodies a powerful counter-movement: Bring Back Yearning – a call to revive the emotional depth\, longing\, and bittersweet anticipation that modern life often eclipses. \nFalling in Love is a love letter to that feeling — to the slow burn of desire\, the ache of heartbreak\, and the beauty found in emotional sensitivity. Original songs like Glimpse of Happiness\, inspired by waking up to birdsong in Tuscany\, reflect Matteo’s philosophy that happiness is fleeting but found in small\, beautiful moments\, while the upbeat track Love Like This celebrates joyful intimacy\, capturing the lighter\, exuberant side of the album’s emotional journey. \nWhen your father is the legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli – the voice that has wowed the world for over three decades – stepping into the spotlight isn’t just a career move – it’s a birthright\, a burden\, and a generational breakthrough which has taken Matteo from heir to innovator. Just as Ferrari embodies Italian excellence on four wheels\, the Bocelli name is synonymous with the country’s rich culture. The Bocellis are no ordinary family. Home for them are the rolling Tuscan hills and vineyards\, evoking the quintessential Italian dream of sun-soaked afternoons. But behind the star-studded scenes\, Matteo’s life is far from the glitz of the stage. He treasures the company of close friends\, playing FIFA and even fixing cars together. ‘They don’t care who I sing with or to\,’ he laughs. ‘They just want to win the game.’ \nThis is Matteo Bocelli – the multi-skilled artist\, the down-to-earth\, yet romantic dreamer\, the heir to a timeless tradition. Like Shawn Mendes stepping onto a global stage\, or Enrique Iglesias re-defining romance for a generation\, Matteo is set to become a universal favourite – a modern icon with an old soul\, a bridge between old-world passion and new-world sophistication.

SUMMARY:EGGY
DESCRIPTION:Eggy is redefining the modern jam band experience with a blend of rich songwriting\, exploratory improvisation\, and magnetic live energy. The Connecticut-based quartet—Jake Brownstein (guitar\, vocals)\, Dani Battat (keys\, vocals)\, Mike Goodman (bass\, vocals)\, and Alex Bailey (drums\, vocals)—has built a reputation for emotionally resonant songs and live performances that turn every set into an unpredictable\, communal experience. \n2024 marked a breakout moment for the band with the release of their sophomore album Waiting Game\, a refined studio statement co-produced by White Denim’s James Petralli. The album propelled Eggy into their largest headline touring year to date\, while earning standout performances at major festivals including Austin City Limits\, Electric Forest\, and Suwannee Hulaween. \nThat momentum only accelerated through 2025. Eggy continued expanding their footprint with extensive headline touring\, a growing list of festival appearances\, and a reputation as one of the most consistently compelling live acts in the jam and rock space. Around Halloween\, the band sold out back-to-back nights at Cervantes in Denver\, transforming the city into a pilgrimage site for fans with their themed run celebrating The Ballad of Blucifer. The shows underscored the band’s ability to create moments that feel both playful and deeply meaningful\, while proving their staying power in key markets. \nAs they look ahead to 2026\, Eggy enters a new chapter defined by confidence\, creative ambition\, and sustained growth. With continued headline touring on the horizon and plans to begin creating new music in early 2026\, the band is focused on pushing their sound forward without losing the emotional core that has defined them. From intimate rooms to sold-out club runs and marquee festival stages\, Eggy continues to convert first-time listeners into lifelong fans. Wherever they play next\, one thing remains constant: no two shows are ever the same\, and the journey is just getting started.

SUMMARY:Elena Moon Park: Children’s Series - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:ELENA MOON PARK CELEBRATES THE MAGIC OF EVERYDAY LIFE ON NOTHING IS ORDINARY – A GLOBALLY INSPIRED ALL AGES ALBUM OUT MAY 29\, 2026 \nMusician and cultural producer Elena Moon Park returns with Nothing Is Ordinary\, a luminous new collection of songs that invites listeners of all ages to rediscover the wonder woven into everyday life. \nBuilt around the idea that the world surrounding us is both ordinary and extraordinary at once\, the album encourages a deeper kind of listening\, one that embraces birdsong in the morning\, the quiet glow of the moon in daylight\, and the countless small stories unfolding around us at any given moment. \n“When I sit with this idea\, I find myself noticing more of both the grand and the mundane\,” says Park. “I’m reminded that so much of my joy comes from listening closely\, from paying attention to the world and the people around me. This collection of songs is dedicated to the idea that everything around us is magical\, while also being oh-so common. And I realize that my greatest joy is in hearing and noticing everyone and everything\, and listening for all the stories\, large and small. Everyone has a story to share. Find yours and sing it loud.” \nNothing Is Ordinary is Park’s third all ages album\, and continues her singular approach to family music\, one rooted in respect\, curiosity\, and artistic depth. The collection brings together reimagined folk and children’s songs from East and Southeast Asia alongside original compositions inspired in part by the artwork of longtime collaborator Kristiana Pärn.

SUMMARY:DOGS IN A PILE
DESCRIPTION:Something organic has been blooming from Asbury Park\, New Jersey\, and is now making its way around the world. Dogs In A Pile\, a band of five twenty somethings with old souls and limitless chops\, is waking people up to the timeless and ineffable joys of psychedelic-tinged jazz-funk rock n’ roll. \nThis is one of the busiest touring bands of today\, averaging 130 live shows per year since 2022. The road has become their creative engine\, generating a rapidly growing catalog of original tunes. Distroid\, the band’s newest album\, is a 10-song collection featuring long-awaited studio versions of some of the Dogs’ most beloved repertoire. \nDogs In A Pile is guitarist Jimmy Law\, guitarist Brian Murray\, keyboardist Jeremy Kaplan\, bassist Sam Lucid\, and drummer Joe Babick. In addition\, the Dogs In A Pile community includes the Dog Pound\, the group’s extended family of fans across the country. \nBesides being a lyric from the Grateful Dead song\, “He’s Gone\,” the name “Dogs In A Pile” is an apt description of the five-piece band’s stylistic breadth. The sonic image it conjures is a heap of storyteller Americana\, bluegrass\, jazz improvisation\, eccentric instrumental excursions\, pop-rock sophistication\, and deep-pocket grooves\, ranging from funk to Latin to reggae and beyond. \nDistroid features material that has already become staples of the band’s live show. These studio renditions have afforded the group a chance to present the compositions just how they envision them. Distroid offers a cross-section of the Dogs In A Pile essence\, tight and tuneful four-minute funk and jazz informed psych-rock songs\, and then sprawling 15-minute compositions with intricate unison lines\, agile genre-jumping\, and dazzling improvisation.

SUMMARY:LaMP ft. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:On a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington\, Vermont in December of 2018\, three musical masters—Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski—came together with alchemical synthesis\, and created a fresh\, so-tight-it’s-free sound\, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring\, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members’ surname\, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP. \nMetzger\, described by The Village Voice as “…an ace guitarist of a thousand styles\,” and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo’s Almost Dead\, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. It resulted in seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic and harmonic interplay between Paczkowski’s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger’s acrobatic melodies on telecaster\, driven by Lawton’s unflappable backbeat\, produced a record that will stand the test of time. Ever since—as the three members busy schedules have allowed—LaMP has prioritized bringing the music to the people with shows across the East Coast. As word has spread and the crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY:Amelia Day - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:It took a world-shaking breakup for Amelia Day to find her true sound — and herself. She embraces the full range of her influences with “EGO TRIP\,” a genre-bending EP stacked high with alt-rock guitars\, pop hooks\, swooning keyboards\, and the sharp songwriting of a lifelong storyteller. Inspired by the sudden collapse of a college romance\, “EGO TRIP” finds room for anger\, liberation\, and healing\, with Amelia nodding not only to the folk music she discovered as a child in the Pacific Northwest\, but also the electrifying empowerment of her favorite 1990s frontwomen. The result is a collection of melody-driven songs that breathe new life into classic sounds\, largely written in her adopted hometown of Nashville and recorded at Bear Creek Studio in her home state of Washington. With “EGO TRIP\,” Amelia Day creates her own geography. \n“It’s at once precisely curated\, each note and lyric accounted for\, and eagerly committed to the maximalist extremes of whatever genre’s playground she’s found herself in.” – Washington Post \n“Gracing Spotify playlists with titles like ‘Narnia vibes for reading\,’ ‘goblin core’ and ‘sapphic songs for your talking stages\,’ Day’s music is upfront about what it is: honest and relatable storytelling.” – Inlander \n“Her lyricism has done some shifting\, too. Although Day still writes about love\, heartbreak and the many variables of a romantic relationship\, she has found herself writing about journeying into adulthood\, climate change\, omniscient perspectives and more. Day has also acquired a story-telling style featuring wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations.” – Spokesman-Review \n“Embracing honesty and staying true to herself throughout these challenges has given her songs a rawness that resonates strongly with listeners — both lyrically and musically.” — Northwest Noise Magazine \n“Day’s set was energetic\, emotional and full of fun\, just like all of her music. Wherever Amelia Day’s musical journey takes her next\, I’m excited to be a fan along for the ride.” – Vanderbilt Hustler

SUMMARY:Wild Child for Kids: Children’s Series - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Wild Child has spent nearly sixteen years making music together\, growing up side by side through life’s highs and lows. After five albums and countless miles on the road\, they’ve turned a long-running dream into their newest adventure – a playful\, joy-filled children’s album for the fans who’ve been with them from the start and the little ones they’re now raising. Packed with silly\, dance-worthy songs and heartfelt harmonies\, it’s a love letter to friends big and small. \nThe album\, Wild Child for Kids\, bursts with playful\, heartfelt tracks: Feelings — gentle guide to naming and embracing emotions; Animals — jungle-to-ocean romp through real and imagined worlds; Dinosaur Jetpack — joyous\, giggle-inducing adventure born from a studio jam; Plus: Fabulous\, Things We Love\, Memory Lane\, Rain or Sunshine\, fresh takes on ABCs (feat. Sir Woman’s Kelsey\, Spice\, Uncle Roy) and Twinkle Twinkle\, closing with Lullaby. \nWild Child is the Austin-born songwriting partnership of Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins\, a duo whose chemistry has powered more than a decade of acclaimed indie-folk releases and spirited live shows. What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands\, known for warm harmonies\, candid storytelling\, and an ever-evolving blend of folk\, pop\, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects – Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi – the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space\, unsure when or how Wild Child might return. \nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark\, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together\, preparing for online performances\, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes\, new material poured out – an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings\, capturing raw\, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection. \nWild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story – whether weathering a Texas ice storm together\, writing by candlelight when power went out\, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years\, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience\, connection\, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most. \nToday\, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids\, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms\, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape\, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning

SUMMARY:Wild Child - FREE SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Album Review: Wild Child – End Of The World — Caroline Birmingham (THE WAVE) : From start to finish\, the album is dramatic and captivating\, radiates warmth like the Texas sun and overflows with authenticity\, intimacy\, and soul. \n“‘End Of The World’ is…one of the band’s finest moments.” — John Moore (Glide Magazine)\nThe frenetic title track off of Wild Child’s fifth LP has some pretty dark origins. “End Of the World” was written towards the end of the massive 2021 ice storm that paralyzed Texas ultimately killing hundreds as a result of hypothermia and carbon monoxide poisoning. But Wild Child were able to channel that uncertainty and helplessness into an addictively catchy anthem for the current world we are living in\, in the process creating one of the best songs the band has ever recorded. \nWild Child is the Austin-born songwriting partnership of Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins\, a duo whose chemistry has powered more than a decade of acclaimed indie-folk releases and spirited live shows. What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands\, known for warm harmonies\, candid storytelling\, and an ever-evolving blend of folk\, pop\, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects – Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi – the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space\, unsure when or how Wild Child might return. \nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark\, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together\, preparing for online performances\, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes\, new material poured out – an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings\, capturing raw\, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection. \nWild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story – whether weathering a Texas ice storm together\, writing by candlelight when power went out\, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years\, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience\, connection\, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most. \nToday\, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids\, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms\, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape\, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning.

SUMMARY:ANDY FRASCO & THE U.N. and KITCHEN DWELLERS w/s/g MAGOO
DESCRIPTION:Andy Frasco & The U.N. have long been the high-flying DIY renegades of the touring scene known and loved for their one-of-a-kind onstage audacity and kaleidoscopic musical fusion – a wildly eclectic approach navigating funk\, jazz\, surf rock\, blues\, swing\, gospel\, reggae\, exotica\, and more with horn-blasted positivity and soulful power. With curly tufts peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap\, Andy Frasco is a band-fronting\, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N.\, not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stage-diving into the crowd or kibitzing with them\, an Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.” \nThe band has grown from playing bars to touring more than 250 days a year all over the country\, with Frasco describing that 15-year journey on Growing Pains\, the group’s landmark 10th studio album and first full-length effort since 2023’s L’Optimist\, showcasing Andy’s growth as a tunesmith in his own right. The Growing Pains (Deluxe) album by Andy Frasco & The U.N. (released Jan 2026) adds six tracks to the original 2025 release \nKitchen Dwellers continue to carve out their own lane in the world of progressive roots music\, blending bluegrass\, folk\, and rock through psychedelic hues into a sound as expansive as their Montana home. The Bozeman-born quartet of Shawn Swain (mandolin)\, Torrin Daniels (banjo)\, Joe Funk (upright bass)\, and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) has grown from regional upstarts into one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking bands in modern string music. \nKitchen Dwellers have captivated audiences at hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and performed alongside acts such as Billy Strings and Goose in addition to playing festivals such as Telluride Bluegrass\, Under The Big Sky\, WinterWonderGrass\, and more. They’ve released three critically acclaimed albums—Ghost In The Bottle [2017]\, Muir Maid [2019]\, and Wise River [2022]. After amassing 15 million-plus streams\, selling out shows\, and receiving acclaim from Huffington Post\, Relix\, American Songwriter\, and more\, the group released their latest record ‘Seven Devils’ in March 2024. Their catalog pairs instrumental virtuosity with emotional storytelling\, an exploratory spirit\, and a deep connection to the American West. \nMagoo is one of the most exciting new acts in the progressive bluegrass scene. The innovative quartet from Denver\, Colorado is redefining the boundaries of modern bluegrass with fearless creativity and world-class musicianship. Known for their dynamic live performances\, the band delivers a powerful blend of intricate arrangements\, tight three-part harmonies\, and extended improvisations that bring new life to the genre. Each member brings a distinctive voice and musical strength to the project. Dobroist Dylan Flynn\, winner of the 2024 RockyGrass Dobro Competition; guitarist Erik Hill\, runner-up in the RockyGrass Flatpicking Contest; mandolinist Courtlyn Bills; and bassist Denton Turner. Magoo stands poised for a breakout year following first place at UllrGrass Band Competition and Clash of the Strings\, second at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition\, and with their February 2026 debut album release What a Life capturing the group’s adventurous spirit\, heartfelt songwriting\, and soaring instrumental work.
