Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts

Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts

Pronounces name “RY-en KRIS” (like Ryan Chris, but spelled with a y instead of i)

At a glance, Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts are a 4-piece touring band that shares male and female leads in a mix of old school country and rock n roll. Call it western outlaw, modern outlaw country, or just plain outlaw.

Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts bring forth new energy to music fans who love the heroes and outlaws of old. Influenced by the songs and personalities of legends like Waylon and Willie, they drive their sound with blazing guitars and a rock n roll attitude.  The band pays respect to classic styles, but anyone can tell from their overdriven sound that they’re far from traditionalists. Recommended for lovers of both classic country and 70’s rock n roll.

Recent highlights include direct support for Dwight Yoakam, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Shooter Jennings, Blackberry Smoke, The Bellamy Brothers, Asleep At The Wheel, Dale Watson, Reckless Kelly, Justin Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Marshall Tucker Band, Shakey Graves, Cody Canada & The Departed, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Sunny Sweeney, Shane Smith & The Saints, The Kentucky Headhunters, Big Kenny, Love and Theft and more.  For a more detailed bio on the band and members check out the Meet the Band page.

In 2025 the band was officially inducted into the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame! Each member is now a Colorado Country Music Hall of Famer and has performed in (and out) of Colorado for more than 20 years. We are honored to carry such a distinction.

A Brother’s Fountain

A Brother’s Fountain

A Brother’s Fountain was started by three unrelated “brothers” – Justin Fountain, Ryan Guillen, and Ro Calvillo – in 2012. Soon after, Justin’s biological brother AJ joined up, learning the base because they really didn’t need two acoustic guitars in a foursome, and that was it: off to Redrocks.

No, not really. Not yet. But that’s never been the goal of this music project. They based this band in friendship, in brotherhood, in having a fun time outside, and while the band has gotten much larger, the venues have gotten bigger, and the crowds have grown (dream come true), it’s still that way for this Fort Collins ten-piece, folk-inspired group.

Their songs range from rowdy and anthemic to reflective, laid-back sing-alongs. It’s easy to remember the lyrics, and by your second show, you’ll be singing “I’m just a Chipmunk” or “Get your ass outside”. It’s their guarantee, and if not, pick out a free merch item (hats or t-shirts, no fanny packs; those are the best sellers).

With music inspired by life’s extraordinary gifts – mother nature, authentic friendship and epic adventures – they hope what they play inspires you to squeeze all the juice out of this one big life.
