Michael Kirkpatrick

“Michael Kirkpatrick has the voice of an anthropomorphic brontosaurus that has popped out of a children’s book to teach kids about the dangers of playing with matches” – The Scene Magazine

Michael Kirkpatrick, Colorado-based singer, songwriter, and producer blends elements of acoustic fingerstyle and folk rock to cradle lush songscapes in a fuzzy paradoxical blanket of sunshine and fog. With a voice that ranges from a quiet rumble to powerful mountain-top exclamation, Michael’s passionate vocals bring to life lyrics about dreams, sensuality, and reverence for nature.

With over 30 years of experience on stage, Michael has toured extensively and won multiple awards for his songwriting, including the prestigious Telluride Troubadour award. His rich baritone voice, eclectic picking, and absurdly earnest storytelling have established Michael as an unconventionally entertaining live performer with a loyal audience. Michael currently tours as a soloist, as the front man for the Neo-psychedelic New-Wave Americana band Violet Pilot and the Grateful Dead tribute act Pickin’ On The Dead.
“Michael does things to a mandolin that shouldn’t be done to a mandolin” – Chris K, The Colorado Playlist
Michael’s latest record Away-O (released Jan 12, 2024) was recorded by Tyler Lindgren on a bright, snowy day in an empty house in the foothills of Colorado’s Front Range. The 12 songs for fingerstyle guitar and voice were captured with an organic, live approach, mimicking the vibe of Michael’s famous solo house concerts and “fun streams” that kept his audience entertained through the dark days of Ronassance.
Throughout his career, Michael has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music, including Zac Brown, Charlie Musselwhite, Sam Bush, Billy Valentine, Sonny Charles, Jim Belushi, Darol Anger, Greensky Bluegrass, Billy Strings, Brian Nova, Leftover Salmon, and many others. Michael has received numerous accolades for his music, including the “Best Colorado Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album of 2013” from the Colorado Sound Fan Poll for his album “Key to My Cage,” and six consecutive “Best Singer-Songwriter” awards from the Fort Collins Musicians Association. In 2019, he was honored with the FoCoMA Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2022, he released the highly anticipated debut album by Violet Pilot, “Glad We Found You.”

Jack Nelson

Jack Nelson

Born on the Corpus Christi Bay with roots in the deserts of West Texas and the Piney Woods of East Texas. Jack Nelson is a music artist to keep an eye on. Growing up the son of ranchers and teachers, music for the hard working God fearing folk is what pours out of him.

Jack was handed his first guitar at the age of four years old and has been making music ever since. Whether it was playing alongside his father during practices for his tejano band as a child, leading his church youth group in praise and worship, or playing music festivals in his in his hard rock band in high school, Jack has always appreciated all types of genres and his history has made him a very diverse musician.

Jack took a break from his life and music in order to serve our country by joining the United States Navy and after four and a half years decided it was time to return home, go to college, and start making music again.

Upon departing the Navy in 2012, Jack began playing one man acoustic shows in the local area and as a lone acoustic musician with only amateur recordings Jack was able to spend a considerable amount of time in the top spot of the local reverb country charts. But being compelled to a larger platform Jack has carefully assembled musicians from across the country in an effort to bring his brand of music to the scene. 

Within that time frame Jack has been continuing to release new music with a few “number ones” in the Texas music scene all whilst having the honor of sharing the stage with fellow artists such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, Tracy Byrd, David Ball, Cody Canada and the Departed, Wade Bowen, Creed Fisher, Sundance Head, Bart Crow, Jason Boland and the Stragglers, Josh Ward,  Scooter Brown Band, Bri Bagwell, Curtis Grimes, Micky and The Motorcars, Kyle Park, David Grace, Susan Hickman, Jake Bush, Larry Joe Taylor, and many more.
