About Kathleen Parks:
Kathleen Parks is a fiddler, singer and songwriter who brings joyful and creative energy to the stage and studio.
For the last 10 years, she has been heavily involved in touring and recording with her Americana/Jamgrass band Twisted Pine, where she sings, writes and fiddles. On her upcoming solo album, her captivating songs lean more toward pop, folk and classic jazz, while her virtuosic fiddle blends and reimagines traditional and modern musical styles with boundless groove and playful improvisational spirit.
Her deep grounding in Celtic and American roots music combines with her love for pop songwriting, soulful vocals and groove-based improvisation, making every performance unexpected yet familiar: a musical journey from beginning to end.
Over the years, Kathleen has shared the stage with artists such as Paula Cole, Sammy Rae & The Friends, Gordon Lightfoot, Aoife O’Donovan, The Punch Brothers, Jerry Douglas and Sierra Hull.
About Travis McNamara:
Played and recorded entirely by himself in his apartment during the pandemic, Trout Steak Revival's Travis McNamara explores more indie and electric territory on his lush and experimental debut solo release, MOON CALENDAR.
Trout Steak Revival's win at the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival - a lineage including Chris Thile, Greensky Bluegrass and The Lil Smokies - launched them into an odyssey of national touring, playing alongside artists like Brandi Carlile, Billy Strings and Emmylou Harris. When the pandemic struck and Travis' touring life ground to a halt, he turned to self-recording as a salve against great fear and uncertainty. A group of other waylaid Denver songwriters met online each month under the full moon and helped each other keep moving.
MOON CALENDAR represents his exploration into a more electric and experimental form of his folk writing; a moving pastiche of layered recordings inspired by the sounds of Adrianne Lenker, Bon Iver, The Books, Jason Isbell, and Denver’s own Natalie Tate and Nathaniel Rateliff. No fewer than 16 instruments appear on the record, all played by Travis himself. As always, he makes generous use of his most dynamic themes: expansiveness and adventure, balanced with isolation and freedom and, of course, the perennial search for love.
