Wes Watkins - One of Denver’s most prolific and productive musicians, you’ve probably seen Wes Watkins playing trumpet with Nathanial Rateliff and the Nightsweats, The Other Black, Kid Astronaut, Wheelchair Sportscamp, Bonnie and the Beard, Izcalli, Air Dubai, Petals of Spain, and many more. But first and foremost, he's a band leader that assembles some of our most talented artists to craft the intricate compositions into artistic reality. With bands including up to two dozen members at times, he weaves his words and multi-instrumental skills through fresh blends of funk, soul, and R&B sounds.

Shady Oaks - Shady Oaks is an indie rock band from Denver with a riff heavy psychedelic garage rock sound influenced by bands such as The Black Angels, Raconteurs, Black Keys, and Jack White. The five-piece band delivers original music that is both dreamy and psychedelic with a rugged blend of alternative, blues, and garage rock.
