About The Bands ------
Sqwerv:
Sqwerv's roots run deep in the Denver music scene. Those roots began to take hold through open jams and a little bit of luck when Sqwerv started playing gigs at bars and small venues in 2017. Since then, Sqwerv has become a staple in Denver's music scene with bands like Magic Beans, Squeaky Feet, Eminence Ensemble and Rado.
This four-piece Indie-Psych Rock band’s love for classic rock, psychedelic music and improvisation creates a sound that is refreshingly original and exciting. Sqwerv realizes the importance of good songwriting and is always pushing themselves in the improvisation. The band spends a great deal of time writing lyrics, composing, and developing song structure that has grown into a catalogue that ranges from twelve minute prog songs inspired by Homer's Odyssey to two minute psych songs about love. They are fiercely driven to get to those transcendent, improvised spaces that all jam-music lovers crave. Sqwerv continues to deliver to their audiences through groove, counterpoint, polyrhythms and risk taking.
In the last two years the band has released two studio albums, three live albums and completed two national tours with no plans on stopping. They have had the opportunity to open for acts like Lespecial, Spafford, Eggy and Big Something. They hold themselves to a rigorous tour schedule playing unique shows for their fans on a regular basis. Sqwerv leans into the dark and the beautiful while thriving off of the sounds they create and connections they make.
Stan P Band:
Stan P Band will bring you to a new world of musical voyage. They utilize rotating setlists, different guest artists and a wide variety of genres centered around a progressive improvisational rock core. The band prides itself on technical abilities and musical versatility; breaking boundaries with their unique sounds and compositions. SPB made its national festival debut at Summer Camp 2022 and has performed all over the Midwest. The band just released a new single "Across The Snow" which features a super group lineup with Orlando Wright (Buddy Guy), Rob Ingraham (The Revivalists), Packy Lundholm (Theo Katzman), Paul Theodore Chandler (Monophonics/Orgone) and Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds/Color Red)!
Stan Pszeniczka leads the project as a drummer, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He played drums in many different bands over the years and has toured all over the country before finally launching his own project. Stan is also an accomplished Light Designer who has worked directly with many different nationally touring artists, Grammy Award winners, big festivals and shows across the country. Stan was on a world tour as the Light Designer for 8x Grammy Award winner/Hall of Fame Blues legend Buddy Guy and was also the Drum Tech for Buddy's Grammy Award winning writer, producer, drummer Tom Hambridge. He has also been on tour with Dumpstaphunk, The Revivalists and Dirty Dozen Brass Band as Light Designer.
His band draws upon a wealth of different songs, genres and covers from Stan's eclectic catalog as well as always diving into material from the other musicians. From progressive rock compositions to funky dance numbers to bluegrass get downs, there's always something for everyone and you'll never know what to expect. The group will have you grooving, singing and exploring uncharted musical improvisations making each show its own distinct experience.
