From Baltimore to Charleston, Nashville, and back again, Chris Wilcox’s songwriting journey is a reflection of the familiar road that still leads to unlikely places. His latest project, aptly titled Beau Monde, translates directly to “A Beautiful World.” This sentiment is deeply felt across a batch of songs created with a new lease on life that comes from shedding the expectations of the Nashville machine in favor of a simpler and more joyful approach to crafting music.
Bringing in a collection of friends and accomplished musicians and producers from Charleston, SC Chris takes solace in a new low country home, newfound fatherhood, and arriving on the brighter side of health challenges. In this light, Beau Monde is a family affair. Noted Southeastern producers Ryan Zimmerman (Band of Horses) and Matt Zutell (Doom Flamingo, Winyah) take on rare co-production roles to bring the project to life with members of their respective studio bands in tow: Ross Bogan (Doom Flamingo), Christian Chidester (Brave Baby), and Aaron Utterback (Human Resources).
Like the low country he once again calls home, Chris acts as a vessel for the natural beauty the area has to offer. These are songs for warm summer nights, as the sun sets over the sweetgrass lined rivers that snake through the landscape.

Formed in 2012 in Harford County, Maryland, The Deer Creek Sharp Shooters (DCSS) are six friends united by their shared passion for bluegrass and a vision to explore the boundaries of acoustic music. Since relocating to Steamboat Springs and Denver, Colorado in 2016, the band has truly hit its stride, blending traditional bluegrass roots with a playful, innovative spirit.

Known for their high-energy performances and infectious camaraderie, DCSS creates a show experience that’s as much about connection as it is about music. From blistering, fast-paced bluegrass jams to quirky, crowd-pleasing tunes about cats, their setlists are as dynamic as their personalities. Drawing inspiration from bluegrass legends and weaving in their own unique twist, the Sharp Shooters offer a sound that’s equal parts tradition and fresh creativity.

Named "Best New Bluegrass Band" by Denver Westword in 2022, DCSS has performed at prestigious festivals such as WinterWonderGrass Steamboat, Palisade Bluegrass and Roots, The Ramble Festival, and Tico Time Bluegrass Festival. In 2023, they released their debut album, Crik, a collection of original songs that showcase their musicianship, storytelling, and sense of fun.
