A High-spirited Molotov cocktail of bluegrass, vintage bank robber songs and Irish party music.
$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.

Redhorn is a jazz quintet. We love to pay homage to the legends of Blue Note Records (the "Motown" of jazz), focusing on tunes from the early 60’s, featuring cool horn harmonies and rich chords. And we also love more modern jazz compositions made popular by players like John Scofield, Bill Frizell, and Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Our music is fun and interesting to listen to for both seasoned jazz fans and anybody who just likes good music!
