Rapidgrass Quintet is a super rad, high-energy, fusion string-band made up of old and new friends from the front-range Colorado bluegrass scene. The band features guitarist and pro skier Mark Morris from Golden, Colorado and champion fiddler Coleman Smith from Dallas, Texas. The duo met as members of the Hickory Project and have shared the stage all over the world. They are both instructors at the La Roche Bluegrass festival in France. Playing the banjo in the Quintet is singer/songwriter Kyle James Hauser who stays busy performing his original music in various bands and as a solo act in cities across the United States. On bass is Louisville Colorado resident Paul Watinas, owner and operator of Paul's Coffee and Tea (bassist in the original "CPG" band, Slipstream). Alex Johnstone is featured on the mandolin/vocals from the Colorado based bluegrass band Spring creek. Alex brings amazing life to the band with his power-house energy and awesomeness. The band plays a blend of bluegrass, gypsy swing, modern folk, and acoustic funk, with all moods in between.
Opening Artist:
The Cody Sisters
The Cody Sisters band is the very heart of contemporary acoustic Folk and Bluegrass music in Colorado, the United States and the UK. Their propulsive instrumental solos and warm harmonies combine to grip the listener. Along with their bass player Will Pavilonis, sisters Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today.
In May of 2023, The Cody Sisters released their self-titled EP marking a new beginning for the band. It is their first release since parting ways with their former image of "young girls in a family band" and it portrays a sense of maturity and musical understanding that reveals a new dimension to their artistic expression. They set out to explore new sounds and styles while still holding true to their bluegrass roots, and they have done just that. This new music is an invitation to connect, to feel, and to journey together through original lyrics and captivating instrumental arrangements.
The Cody Sisters have a sound that is original, exhilarating, and heartwarming all at the same time. With strong ties to traditional American acoustic music, they continue to stun their audiences both in the US and abroad.
