Live Music
Jackie Greene Americana and roots singer-songwriter Jackie Greene is a jack-of-all-trades, and an artist who can croon over soulful piano ballads as much as he can shred a bluesy guitar solo (like he did as the lead guitarist for The Black Crowes in 2013). A road warrior and musician's musician, Greene's new EP 'The Modern Lives - Vol 2' (out October 2018 on Blue Rose Music) finds him at a new chapter in his life: his first months of fatherhood, time off his relentless touring circuit, and a cross-country move from Brooklyn to his birthplace of Northern California.
 
Shari Puorto Shari Puorto is an American award-winning Roots/Rock/Blues singer, songwriter and performer originally from Orange, CT currently residing in Los Angeles.  With 6 releases to-date, Shari’s music and show are raw, real, and authentic. In 2018, Shari and the band released a live CD, Live at Bogies, to prove it.
 
Burnsville Blues Band Vail Valley’s own Burnsville Blues Band blends the intensity of the blues with the timeless energy of rock. Their sound is driven by an honest approach to songwriting and is backed up by solid and soulful live performances.
