Chariots & Charioteers & Jem Zornow

Doors: 7PM / Show: 8PM

Chariots & Charioteers play an eclectic and organic take on indie-pop that is influenced by modern soul, folk, and jazz. The Denver-based quartet uses a quick-changing roster of instruments to write songs that make processing unusual emotions fun. Imagine if Regina Spektor and Lake Street Dive met in a Dave Matthews Band tribute band, and you’ve got something like it.

The band’s blend of styles is informed by their varied backgrounds, from musical theater to professional film scoring to jazz and classical college training. With their bafflingly wide range of instruments (including unusual ones like melodica punching above their weight), you’ll hear inventive, melody-heavy instrumental arrangements that go beyond simple chord strumming and command your ears’ attention.

Jem is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist who plays across genres and writes engaging original music. He leads multiple, ongoing music projects here in the metro-Denver area, including Two Ton Turtle, a high-energy, fun bluegrass/folk trio based out of Denver, CO. Two-Ton Turtle marries the best of bluegrass, classic country, folk and funk.
