2012 Wildflower Schedule

Rich, inspiring, and fresh music will again fill the Wildflower Pavilion again this year. With the addition of our new seasonal doors, the Pavilion is now a comfortable all-season venue. Look for music in the Pavilion; beer, wine, and other drinks at the bar; and (weather-permitting) bonfires by the river. Be sure you're signed up for the Wildflower email newsletter for all the latest news. Order your tickets at shop.bluegrass.com or 303-823-0848.

After last Spring's very sold-out Girlyman show in the Wildflower and two years as one of the hottest sets at the entire Folks Festival, we couldn't wait to welcome the musically playful quartet back to Planet Bluegrass... Onstage they often finish one another's sentences or burst into improvised three-part ditties so tight they seem rehearsed. In truth, the Atlanta-based quartet has had years to develop this rapport, as founding members Doris Muramatsu and Tylan Greenstein became best friends in second grade. After meeting Nate Borofsky in college at a talent show, they've been creating their own unique language of three-part harmony. Informed by 60s vocal groups like Simon & Garfunkel and The Mamas and the Papas, and infused with years of classical and jazz training, Girlyman's songs are a dance of melody and suspensions - an irresistible blend of acoustic, Americana, and rock The Village Voice calls "really good, really unexpected, and really different." Most recently, Girlyman has been collaborating with comedian Margaret Cho, who describes the band: "They seamlessly blend folk, country, pop, and rock, and they genre bend as fearlessly and flawlessly as they gender-bend. It's the music of my heart and soul. Girlyman is the future and the past and the present."Get your tickets early for this show - last year they sold-out a week in advance... Top

Danielle Ate the Sandwich is a solid young songwriter, gifted with an ethereal voice and the talent for writing honest observations of an ordinary world. Her melancholy and often times vulnerable songs are nicely contrasted by her humorous and engaging stage presence. Dubbed "Joni Mitchell meets Sarah Silverman," Danielle tours nationally, has licensed songs to various tv shows and significantly understands and works new media on a generational level. Denver's Westword described Danielle as, "cripplingly enchanting with lyrics telling the story of a generation coming of age in an age of uncertainty." And as the postings of over 30,000 loyal subscribers to Danielle's YouTube channel attest, she has rapidly developed an active fanbase who feel Danielle has something to say about what it means to be young in 2012.

During their recent national radio debut on A Prairie Home Companion, host Garrison Keillor called The Haunted Windchimes: "Popular among the grey hairs, green hairs, purple hairs, and all over." Not quite bluegrass or blues or country, the Pueblo quintet crafts songs with a decidedly vintage quality. Grounded in honeyed harmonies and spirited pickin', The Haunted Windchimes paint pictures of empty train stations and nights of passing around a jug of moonshine. With their 2010 release "Honey Moonshine," the Denver Post wrote that the band "perfected an old-timey hoedown sound, executed with passion and precision." Though often moody and melancholy, the music of The Haunted Windchimes is always deeply affecting. Top
