Formed in 2012 in Harford County, Maryland, The Deer Creek Sharp Shooters (DCSS) are six friends united by their shared passion for bluegrass and a vision to explore the boundaries of acoustic music. Since relocating to Steamboat Springs and Denver, Colorado in 2016, the band has truly hit its stride, blending traditional bluegrass roots with a playful, innovative spirit.
Known for their high-energy performances and infectious camaraderie, DCSS creates a show experience that’s as much about connection as it is about music. From blistering, fast-paced bluegrass jams to quirky, crowd-pleasing tunes about cats, their setlists are as dynamic as their personalities. Drawing inspiration from bluegrass legends and weaving in their own unique twist, the Sharp Shooters offer a sound that’s equal parts tradition and fresh creativity
Named “Best New Bluegrass Band” by Denver Westword in 2022, DCSS has performed at prestigious festivals such as WinterWonderGrass Steamboat, Palisade Bluegrass and Roots, The Ramble Festival, and Tico Time Bluegrass Festival. In 2023, they released their debut album, Crik, a collection of original songs that showcase their musicianship, storytelling, and sense of fun.
Join us for a special evening with local artist, JR Adams, as he performs some of his original music! JR Adams is the frontman from the local Steamboat band Yer State Birds and Grateful Dead cover band, Heads All Empty.
Mighty Mystic is considered as one of the leaders in the U.S. Reggae scene and labeled by many as one of the more prolific artists to develop outside of Jamaica. He has gripped the scene with ferocious conviction and an uncanny ambition worthy to be mentioned among the greats. He has gone from being a fan of reggae music to being a contributor to the art. Mighty Mystic came on the scene in 2006 after scoring his first international hit with the song “Riding on the Clouds.” However, it wasn’t until the release of his first album “Wake up the World” (2010) that he became a household name. “Wake up the World” boasted several standouts, such as “Revolution,” “Riding on the Clouds,” “Original Love,” and “Slipped Away” with appearances from reggae icon Shaggy and roots rocker Lutan Fyah. Mystic continues to wake up the world with his high energy, message driven brand of reggae music which he emphatically calls “HARD ROOTS.” It is this unique spin on classic reggae blended with Hip Hop & Rock that has catapulted him to the forefront of today’s Reggae Revival. Mighty Mystic is also the younger brother of current Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. When asked, does being the brother of Prime Minister Holness have any impact on your music? Mystic simply says “Andrew has a job to do and so do I, impact or not we both have our own mission to complete”.
