Featuring Michael Travis of the String Cheese Incident and Jamie Janover of Zilla
Zuvuya is a trio featuring Michael Travis of The String Cheese Incident, Xander Greene and Jamie Janover.
Zuvuya is a Mayan term for the universal wave of energy which surrounds us all. Understanding the Zuvuya gives us an expanded awareness of who we are, connects us with higher levels of consciousness, and restores the memory of the infinite possibilities of our being. Creating this understanding is the purpose of the unique instrumental trio called Zuvuya.
The collaboration began when drummer Michael Travis and Xander Greene first met in Crested Butte, Colorado in 1999. Travis and Xander played together only a few times over the next several years, as Travis was often on the road with his main musical project, The String Cheese Incident.
In early 2002, Boulder musician and 2002-2003 national hammered dulcimer champion, Jamie Janover, joined the band. Jamie's diverse talents for adding unique rhythms and harmonies to the Zuvuya mix solidified the trio's sound. These three self-taught musicians used spontaneous expression to manifest change and growth in both themselves and their listeners.
Zuvuya has an unusual instrumentation. The band members switch instruments several times throughout the night. Travis (drums, bass), Xander (guitar, drums) Jamie (hammered dulcimer, drums, mini-kit, percussion), rotate on who plays drums or bass at any given point, occasionally playing 3 drum kits at once.
Led by Damon Wood, (James Brown Band Guitarist '99-'06) Harmonious Junk is a Funk and Blues based Improvisational Rock Group. Sited as the Best Jamband of Denver 2005 (Westword Magazine) and given a glowing review of their first cd, "Space Cadet" by Relix Magazine writer, Mick Skidmore. As Wood and Co. have continued to develop their songwriting and performance, the band is currently recording it's second CD, while touring regionally throughout the year. Inventive segways, medleys and a constant stream of fresh originals and newly reworked cover material, make this a unique and energetic show full of power and taste

Late 2004, Matt Thornton and Matt Mahern sit in a Fort Collins bar with red walls and sip drinks named after hell and Elvis Presley, discussing how their band could, quite possibly, take over the world.
Motorhome, dreamed up over firery martinis and heated conversation, is now in the process of doing just that. On the path to world domination, Thornton and Mahern picked up local mandolin expert, Darren Radach, who also brought along his accordian and love for hair bands. Motorhome now faces the world a full army of five with two guitars, mandolin, bass, and drums.
Fort Collins new rock band "Other Side of Clearview" is bursting onto the Colorado music scene as a force to be reckoned with. Out of the ashes of hard rock quartet "...in the red" has risen a new band with new members, and a new sound, mixing rock, blues, folk and jazz.
I am a one-man band based out of Chicago that creates music for the soul. In a live setting, I loop all the instruments, which range from Acoustic & Electric Guitar, Bass and an array of electronic equipment, to create a full sound that I have designed. I’ve been touring for two years and already have some big shows to place under my belt. I have opened for bands such as Keller Williams, Jazz Mandolin Project, The Big Wu, and Groovatron.
I also played the Summercamp 2005 festival in Chillicothe, IL. I’m am continuing to push on to see where my path will take me. Whether it blows up or crumbles, I’m going to enjoy every breath of it
Confirmed Artists Sunday
Holden Wofford and the Hi-Beams
Halden Wofford and the Hi-Beams’ classic style of honky tonk has a language and culture all to itself, but only takes one quick lesson to learn how to love for a lifetime. The twang of the steel guitar, snap of the snare drum, thump of the stand-up bass and rippin’ electric guitar solos mix with Wofford’s distinctive vocals to create a sound that is familiar yet purely original. Ringing out all along the Front Range of Colorado and beyond, Wofford’s wavering tenor conjures up images of Hank Williams Sr., Buddy Holly and Bob Wills.
Trucker's Daughter
Honky-tonk music.
Straight up.
No chaser.
A genuinely original mix of stone country private-label numbers and classic tunes from the legends (Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash … you know the rest). Based in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Oakhurst
Oakhurst is a Denver-based international act with deep Appalachian roots and highly original songs that fuse traditional bluegrass with indie-rock and a citybilly attitude.

Oakhurst is one of the hardest working bands in America, performing over 200 shows per year. So far, Oakhurst has hit 20 states and 5 European countries and has already received invitations for two European tours and several major festivals in 2007. Even though their tour schedule is incessant, the band never stops playing. On off days the boys of Oakhurst take to the streets, or festival grounds deploying their Rocky Mountain Guerrilla Grass style, making some new friends, promoting shows and moving a few CD's.
Along the way the band has entertained crowds as large as 5,500, played on the Xingolati Groove Cruise, Wakarusa, Hookahville, Barenaked Ladies Ships and Dip Cruise and moved over 7,500 CD's. Over the course of their career Oakhurst has shared stages with very diverse national talent such as Nickel Creek, The Flaming Lips, Barenaked Ladies, Yard Dogs Roadshow, Bela Fleck, The Ditty Bops, The Radiators, Junior Brown, The Hackensaw Boys, Ekoostik Hookah, & Guster. Oakhurst has also shared the stage with Colorado legends and emerging talent as well. The list includes Yonder Mountain String Band, Devotchka, Rose Hill Drive, the Motet, Pete Wernick and Vince Herman.
