⭐ Float Like a Buffalo:
Float Like a Buffalo is a high-energy, horn-driven rock band from Denver, CO, blending funk, ska, reggae, jam, and soul into a genre-bending sound that’s impossible not to dance to. Inspired by the likes of Lettuce, The Motet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and James Brown, they bring an electrifying live experience wherever they go.
Formed in 2014, the 6-piece band has played iconic stages including Red Rocks, The Bluebird Theater, and Gothic Theatre. Crowned Best Funk Band by Westword in 2019 and named one of 303 Magazine’s Top 30 Rock Bands, they’ve shared the stage with legends like Sting, WAR, Dragon Smoke, and Pepper.
Following the release of their debut album Back From Nowhere and 2022’s Day Late, Dollar Short, FLAB has toured nationally and internationally, including festival appearances and a 2024 collaboration with The Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra. With new music and more tours on the horizon, Float Like a Buffalo shows no signs of slowing down.
⭐ Grits & Greens
At each show, Grits & Greens showcases a diverse set of skills as front woman Ryann McGhee shines with powerful and precise vocals, commanding guitar licks and immersive keyboard soundscaping. Accompanying her on lead guitar is her husband, Jesse McGhee, who demonstrates artful mastery of the slide guitar mixed with lightning fast standard tuning guitar licks inspired by the likes of Jerry Garcia and David Gilmour. Rounding out the low end is Jake Noble on the bass guitar who exhibits the intuitive ability to blend sitting back and playing in the pocket, with lead slap-bass solos similar to the complex and mind-bending work of Les Claypool. Jackson Bounds ties it all together on the drums with his explosive and unique percussive style while flaunting an infectious energy behind the kit.
As if their individual talents weren’t enough, the band features soaring three part vocal harmonies. But their lyrics are what truly set them apart; sharing stories that are personal, playful, and perfectly satirical. Gathering influence from artists like The Allman Brothers, Phish, and Black Sabbath, the band delivers a familiar sound with their own unique and mesmerizing spin.
The obvious love that the band has for each other, as well as playing music, is beautifully exemplified by their warm stage presence and tight performances. This bond keeps their performances fresh and ever-exploratory, always leaving the listeners wanting more.
