$10 cash cover charge.
Raised in the tiny mountain town of Jamestown, CO. Music is woven into the fabric of the community there, and most people played, if only just for fun. My parents are both talented musicians, and there were many late-night jams in our garage when I was young. So I had an amazing community and a lot of positive musical influences in my young life. That feeling of a supportive musical community is something that I still cherish on a deep level, and influences pretty much everything I do.
