SUMMARY:Rosanne Cash with John Leventhal\, Matt Siffert
DESCRIPTION:Low Ticket Alert!\nPresented by Z2 Entertainment\n \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \n“One of the most ambitious and literary songwriters of her generation” (Rolling Stone)\, Rosanne Cash is America’s foremost musical woman of letters\, a literate and incisive artist whose poignant and distinctive vocals turn every song into a revelatory tale. A singular artist at the peak of her interpretive powers\, Cash has earned four Grammy awards—three for The River & The Thread (2014\, Blue Note)—and 12 additional nominations. Among many other accolades\, in 2021\, she became the first woman to receive the Edward MacDowell award for music composition. Her acclaimed 2010 memoir Composed has been described by the Chicago Tribune as “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.” Cash was recently elected as an Honorary American member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \n“I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree\, and the Sword of Time hangs over me\, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect\, to find community\, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks; it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.” \nIn 2023\, Rosanne and her husband\, John Leventhal\, the six-time Grammy-winning songwriter\, producer and life-long creative partner\, launched RumbleStrip Records\, an initiative to reexamine and reissue Rosanne’s early work\, originally released on Columbia / Sony Music\, and beyond. \nThe first two releases were a deluxe remastered version and first vinyl pressing of the 30th anniversary of Cash’s landmark album\, The Wheel and Leventhal’s debut solo album\, Rumble Strip (2024)\, released 50 years into his remarkable career. 2025 begins with The Essential Collection\, a new 40 song/40 year 2CD compilation highlighting Rosanne’s deep catalogue of songs\, including 10 number 1 hits. The album coincides with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit\, Rosanne Cash: Time Is A Mirror. The exhibit explores Cash’s more than 40-year journey as an artist\, songwriter and storyteller\, and how she has embodied both tradition and innovation across her musical career. It runs through March 2026. \nCash and Leventhal are currently writing the music to the theatrical production of Norma Rae. \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:DakhaBrakha
DESCRIPTION:Z2 Entertainment\, 88.5 KGNU\, & Sunflower Seeds Ukraine Present\n          \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nDine for Ukraine before DakhaBrakha \nMake reservations today to enjoy a traditional\, three-course Ukrainian dinner at Chautauqua Dining Hall before the DakhaBrakha concert on July 22. Chautauqua Dining Hall has generously offered to donate $15 of every $50 raised to Sunflower Seeds Ukraine. This Boulder-based\, 100% volunteer nonprofit provides medical aid and protective gear to small groups of defenders and humanitarian assistance to affected civilians in Ukraine. Our goal is to raise $1\,000 on July 22\, which means we need 66 people to Dine Out. Will you join us? \n  \nDakhaBrakha is a music quartet from Kyiv\, Ukraine. Their “ethno chaos” sound spans years of performances prior to Russia’s 2022 invasion\, but war is in everything now. They masterfully blend Ukrainian traditional music with influences from around the world\, resulting in an unexpected new music. \nTraditional music has seen a resurgence in Ukraine over the past decades\, after being suppressed during Soviet rule. DakhaBrakha uses Ukrainian polyphony as its foundation\, interweaving complex rhythmic and melodic structures from India\, Arabia\, Africa\, and Australia. Their music is textural\, layered sounds with distinctive percussive heartbeats\, thumping bass lines\, distorted electric guitars and influences of jazz\, spoken word\, rap and even punk. DakhaBrakha calls this tapestry of influences “ethno chaos.” And this chaos is a strength\, allowing them to draw in strands of music that connect Ukraine with the world. \nThey are troubadours\, activists and educators. Though their name means Give/Take in the old language\, DakhaBrakha is new Ukraine\, both pre-colonial and post-Soviet\, working within a global network of art and music. They aim to help audiences see Ukraine not as a monolith\, but as a cosmopolitan culture that takes in other cultures and gives in return.  \nDakhaBrakha was created in 2004 at the Kyiv Center of Contemporary Art “DAKH” by the avant-garde theatre director Vladyslav Troitskyi. Theatre work has left its mark on the band performances – their shows are always staged with a strong visual element. Projected behind them are a mix of animations from different Ukrainian artists and photos of life in today’s Ukraine. Some are celebratory\, bright and bold. Some are dark\, others curious\, a reflection of the many facets of Ukrainian culture. \nIn March 2011 DakhaBrakha was discovered by Australian Womadelaide and began their ascent in the international music scene. They have since played hundreds of concerts and performances at major international festivals including Big Ears Festival\, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival\, WOMAD\, Roskilde Festival and on the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival. In March 2020\, DakhaBrakha won the Shevchenko National Prize for Musical Arts – the biggest award in Ukraine in the sphere of contemporary art – and confirmed its place in the culture once again. In 2023 DakhaBrakha won globalFEST’s Artist Award in the USA and became Chevaliers of the Order of Arts in France. \nThe band is currently in the process of recording their first album since 2020 in Kyiv (Ukraine)\, which combines material created before and during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.  \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives with Greg Schochet & Little America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Z2 Entertainment & 88.5 KGNU\n      \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \n“THE COUNTRY STAR” VIP PACKAGE: \nAdmission to a private pre-show event at Chautauqua featuring a two-song performance by Marty and the Superlatives\, along with a Q&A Storytelling session with Marty and Band\n\nOne VIP Laminate and Lanyard\nCrowd Free Merchandise Shopping\nOne special edition poster\n\n\nMarty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives\n\n\nIn a career spanning over 50 years\, dozens of albums\, and too many shows to count\, Marty Stuart still charts a course through new territory at every chance possible. The five-time GRAMMY® Award winner\, Congress of Country Music Founder\, Country Music Hall of Famer\, and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has left an indelible mark on successive eras of country music and culture. He went from accompanying Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash to launching a storied solo career highlighted by classic albums such as the Gold-certified Hillbilly Rock and Platinum-certified This One’s Gonna Hurt You\, as well as GRAMMY® Award-winning anthems\, including “The Whiskey Ain’t Workin’” [with Travis Tritt] and “Same Old Train.” Immersing himself in the world of film and television\, he notably scored All The Pretty Horses\, garnering a Golden Globe® Award nomination for “Best Original Score” and earning GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Country Instrumental Performance” for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and “Hummingbyrd.” Recently\, 2023’s Altitude incited widespread critical applause. Of the latter\, Associated Press applauded how\, “Guitarist Kenny Vaughan\, drummer Harry Stinson and bassist Chris Scruggs match Stuart’s guitar virtuosity\, with thrilling results\,” and American Songwriter attested\, “Altitude finds Stuart is putting his own stamp on a traditional vein of country.” NPR put it best\, “For millions\, Marty Stuart is the very image of country music—splendid jackets\, musical mastery and his respect for country’s traditions and a good jolt of humor.” You’d be hard-pressed to find a corner of country music he hasn’t impacted though. Speaking to his influence\, he hosted the long-running fan favorite television series The Marty Stuart Show and notably remains a member of the Country Music Foundation and Grand Ole Opry. Moreover\, the Country Music Hall of Fame inducted him during 2020. He also curated and launched Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia\, MS\, preserving and celebrating the genre and its history. Joined by his longtime band The Fabulous Superlatives\, he cruises into another stratosphere with his first-ever full-length double LP of original instrumentals entitled Space Junk. The cover art of Space Junk is a painting by Stuart’s longtime hero and pal\, Herb Alpert\, leader of the Tijuana Bass\, a group Stuart considers to be one of the greatest instrumental bands of all time. The inimitable interplay between Marty\, Kenny Vaughan\, Harry Stinson\, and Chris Scruggs fuels this cosmic cowboy trip with sun-kissed surf guitar\, breezy California rhythms\, soul-stirring steel\, and fluid fretwork all around. Space Junk sounds like country music’s preeminent band crash landing on a Malibu beach and performing the most epic jam you’ve ever witnessed by starlight… \n \n\nGreg Schochet & Little America\nGreg Schochet & Little America may be a newly formed band\, but one that has been a long time coming. Greg is twenty plus years into a Colorado performing career\, and his first foray into fronting a band is heavy on musical vision and loaded with accomplished players. Already renowned as a first call country and bluegrass picker\, Greg has assembled a crew to funnel that experience into a Western Swing powerhouse that harkens back to Colorado’s halcyon 70s era. With pedal steel and alto sax bringing the country and swing bona fides\, upright bass and drums keep it dancing. Sure there are Bob Wills\, Emmylou Harris and Red Knuckles nods\, but also original songs and deep cuts from unexpected sources. The band has been warmly received in its first  few seasons of touring\, with appearances at the Pagosa Folk ’n Bluegrass Festival\, Dairy Center for the Arts and the Boulder Theater.\nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:SYML: Solo in North America with Nathaniel Riley
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Z2 Entertainment\n \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nSYML\nSYML is the solo venture of Seattle artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for “simple”—he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary\, whether that be a place or a person. \nFennell’s latest offering\, Nobody Lives Here\, marks his clearest\, crispest writing. Written\, recorded\, and produced by him and his longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger\, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction\, a fleeting moment. But as we accept the presence of loss\, we can still welcome others into our space with melody\, lyrics\, a slide guitar\, or a cello’s hum. His sense of humanity is his musical compass. As an artist\, Fennell takes license to both gut and be gutted. “If the dark inspires the good\, that’s a good thing to be honest about\,” he says. \nHe released his self-titled debut album in 2019\, which includes the multi-platinum song “Where’s My Love” and the Gold Record fan favorite “Girl.” His 2023 sophomore album\, The Day My Father Died\, described by NPR as “euphoric\,” was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow’s Guy Garvey\, Lucius\, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek\, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris\, TX\,” from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album. \nWith over four billion streams\, the multi-platinum artist looks at grief\, loss\, mortality\, and the passing of time directly in the eye\, unwavering and harmonious. \nIn 2024\, SYML launched the imprint\, FIN. Recordings\, a collaboration with his label\, Nettwerk Music Group\, and management Good Harbor Music \n \nNathaniel Riley\nNathaniel Riley\, a folk singer/songwriter from South Dakota\, put in his time working the small family farm and recording melancholic melodies in his basement. Treading with years of grief that constructed a cloud full of songs that Nathaniel lugged to Colorado began the process of his debut full length album\, “Bird Songs” \nNathaniel’s songscapes lean on your heartstrings\, unpacking melodies like a nostalgic lucid dream. Acoustically driven\, wistful lyricism and ambient instrumentation provide the bedrock for his contemporary folktales. Compiling miles of desolation\, heartache\, introspection and memories of the forest and the prairie’s whistle that convey him to persist. Empowering his songs their role\, to be a beacon on the hill. \nThe sound and songs arrived abundantly\, easily and honestly. Nathaniel began recording his album “Bird Songs”\, with Aaron Youngberg at Swingfingers Recording Studios in Fort Collins\, Colorado in September of 2020. \nDarren Garvey came on as a producer for the record\, bringing a grass-roots perspective and an experimental\, contemporary ear. \n“I always loved pushing the boundaries of genres and wanted to create something familiar to myself in a couple different ways. One of which was to bring ambient ethereal sounds to the record that may not be commonly found on records claiming to be primarily folk\,” says Riley. \n“I love the process of recording and the almost immortal aspect it provides\,” Riley says. “You will forever hear the person’s skin on the strings\, the breath before they sing. Living proof of somebody being alive\, and it remains there\, like a little memory box of sound forever. Itself\, never changing.” \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.

SUMMARY:The Jayhawks + James McMurtry
DESCRIPTION:Z2 Entertainment & 105.5 The Colorado Sound Present\n   \nDoor time: 6:30\nShow time: 7:30 \nThe Jayhawks\nThe Jayhawks and their rootsy sound were definitely swimming against the tide when they emerged from a crowded Minnesota music scene in 1985. Over the course of almost 4 decades\, 11 albums\, countless memorable live shows and enough personal drama to fill a couple of Behind the Music episodes\, this beloved band soared to heights few ever achieve while winning the hearts and minds of numerous critics\, fans and peers in the process. After releasing two Indie albums in the 80s The Jayhawks signed with American Recordings in 1991 and over the next decade released 5 challenging\, at times groundbreaking\, albums\, toured the world to widespread acclaim and even survived the departure of founding member Mark Olson in 1995. \nAfter a hiatus in the mid 2000s\, the “classic” 1994 lineup reunited for another new studio album in 2011 and 2 years of solid touring\, reacquainting audiences old and new with the band’s timeless musical vision. 2014 saw a late 90s version of the band led by Gary Louris hitting the road to support the reissues of the 3 Jayhawks albums released from 1997-2003. This lineup released the band’s 9th studio album in 2016\, recorded  in Portland\, OR with producers Peter Buck and Tucker Martine. The band’s next studio album\, Back Roads And Abandoned Motels\, was released in the summer of 2018\, featuring Jayhawks versions of songs Gary Louris had previously written with other artists plus 2 new compositions. Recording for a new Jayhawks album was completed in Minnesota in late 2019 and in July 2020 the band released their 11th studio album\, XOXO. In early 2025 the band announced the that work had begun on their 12th studio album\, slated to come out in 2026\, which will be the 40th anniversary of the release of their first album. 2026 has officially been designated as “The Year Of The Hawk.” \n \nJames McMurtry\nJames McMurtry released The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy on June 20th via New West Records. The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMurtry & Don Dixon (R.E.M.\, The Smithereens) and is his first album in four years.  It follows his 2021 acclaimed new West debut\, The Horses and the Hounds\, which UnCut Magazine said “lifts storytelling-in-song to meticulous new levels” and Pitchfork awarded an 8.0\, saying “James McMurtry stands out even among the Lone Star State’s finest songwriters…” The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy features appearances by Sarah Jarosz\, Charlie Sexton\, Bonnie Whitmore\, Bukka Allen and more\, alongside his trusted backing band\, THE MARTIAL LAW REVIEW\, Tim Holt on guitar and accordion\, Cornbread on bass and Daren Hess on drums. \nAs varied as they are\, McMurtry’s new story-songs find inspiration in scraps from his family’s past: a rough pencil sketch by Ken Kesey that serves as the album cover\, the hallucinations experienced by his father\, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry\, an old poem by a family friend.  A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller\, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details\, setting them to arrangements that have elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category. Funny and sad often in the same breath\, The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence. \n \nTICKET PRICES ARE INCLUSIVE OF FEES.
