Mama Magnolia | @mamamagnoliamusic

For the bicoastal six-piece Mama Magnolia—vocalist Megan Letts, saxophonist Alex Cazet, guitarist Thomas Jennings, drummer Jackson Hillmer, trumpeter Carrie McCune, and bassist Zach Jackson—the process of making their first full-length Dear Irvington was an essential remedy amidst distress. Following a successfully overfunded Kickstarter campaign, Dear Irvington was a comfort for Mama Magnolia to lean into amidst a continually harrowing time, while also turning tumultuous, personal stories into ostensibly groovy jaunts. They enlisted producer Robert Ellis and former White Denim drummer and engineer Josh Block to help funnel their ideas and further animate their intricate, sometimes nerdy, sophisticated rock compositions. There’s no reservation in diving into the deep end of depression (“Grey”), unpacking the betrayal of a loved one (“Each Time You Lie”), or expressing frustration with another who won’t take a chance on a relationship (“Try Me”). Dear Irvington focuses on empathetic missives, highlighting Mama Magnolia’s emotional maturation to explore complex emotions rather than run away from them.

Cass Clayton with Lit Society |@cassclaytonband

Cass Clayton Band is a 6-piece, female-fronted band blending influences of funk, soul, jazz and contemporary influences. She was recently voted Colorado’s Favorite Female Vocalist of 2024 (Colorado Blues Society Members’ Choice Awards) and is known for her musical versatility and songwriting. CCB’s most recent album, Midnight In A Bottle (May 2024) was ranked #1 on the National R&B Radio Chart (Roots Music Report) for 13 weeks. The album remains in the top 3 R&B albums in the U.S. (25 weeks to date).

Cass and co-writer/producer, Taylor Scott, enjoy morphing their writing style and arrangements, often surprising themselves, the band and audience. No two shows are ever the same, with the band effortlessly moving from funk, to rock to R&B, building the energy and dynamics. Their tight chemistry and high-energy stage presence has led to their evolution into one of the favorite festival bands in the region.

Denvers funk supergroup LIT SOCIETY playing Funk, Jazz/Funk, Nu Funk, Hip Hop and more!
