Nine Wide Sky is a Boulder-based Alternative Pop duo consisting of Beau and Andy, both multi-instrumentalists. They share a love of 80's pop, 90's rock, and whatever "just sounds cool".

Beau and Andy were introduced in the 90’s while playing in various bands around the Boulder area but didn't collaborate until 2016 when they were fortuitously reconnected. Beau had some song ideas but no singer. Andy had a collection of riffs and melodies but no drummer. As an experiment, the duo swapped scratch recordings, then overdubbed their parts over the other's original idea. The two first songs to emerge were "Universe" and "Time is Broken".

Nine Wide Sky debuted at Roots Music Project in July of 2023.

Native Station is a 4-piece rock band hailing from Longmont, Colorado. Originally formed by frontman Greg Benton and lead guitarist Thomas Troutt in Virginia, the project moved to Colorado in 2016 in hopes of reaching more of an audience and was well received. Over the years the band has evolved into a unique sound that must be heard to be understood. Sometimes peaceful, sometimes heavy, but always fun, Native Station loves what they do and their love for their music and their fans is apparent at every show.

Every night owl knows the feeling of being wide awake at the wrong time - but not minding so much. That’s the feeling conjured by, and the driving force behind, the Denver based indie-rock act Manic Moon. “If there is an origin story, it’s just insomnia,” jokes frontman Clay Carter. The genesis of the band can be traced to late nights spent obsessively composing after the split of his prior group, where he served as a drummer. “No one I knew was really writing the kind of songs I was after; eventually I realized I could just do it myself,” he recalls. From day one, infectious melodies and powerful rhythms became the blueprint for a brand new venture. The resulting sound - atmospheric, shimmering, high-energy rock - explores a spectrum of light and shade. Drawing from 2000s alt rock giants like Death Cab and MuteMath, as well as the dreamy vibes of indie acts like Daywave and Turnover, he carves out a unique sonic space that is both eclectic and honest. To bring the music to life on stage, Carter is joined by bassist Caleb Sueverkruepp, drummer Alex Arseneau, and keyboardist/guitarist Elise Falkenstein, friends who share a love for the kind of music that lives on in the mind long after a song ends.
