The Deer Creek Sharp Shooters were formed in 2012 in Harford County MD by 6 friends who came together with a common love for bluegrass and a dream to push the limits of acoustic music. Based in Steamboat Springs and Denver Colorado since 2016 DCSS has found their stride within the incredible bluegrass community. The Sharp Shooters put on high energy and fun loving shows jumping quickly from high paced bluegrass to goofy songs about cats. The energy on stage when this group gets together is infectious. 

With roots embedded in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and a sound unhinged in the capital of Texas Shovelin Stone is a music almost as unique as the friendship it stems from. A shared passion for old-timey bluegrass is what brought Makenzie and Zak together but it’s the unknowing joy for the moment and the obsession with the complications that life brings that continues to push the duo forward. Within heartfelt lyrics and a unique musical composition the indie folk sound that projects from these two is not only going to get the audience thinking but on their feet. With the addition of multi-talented bassist cellist and mandolin player Russick Smith and rock drummer Brett Throgmorton Shovelin Stone is gearing up to release their sophomore album recorded deep in the Appalachian Mountains with Grammy winning producer Chance McCoy of the Old Crow Medicine Show. With songs about longing love and the hunger to be heard in this big world it is hard not to relate to these four on their quest for success. The road is winding but one thing is for sure that with Shovelin Stone at the wheel it’s going to be a wild ride.
