Hi Friends! Thinking about waiting until the day-of the to grab a ticket at the gate? (We've heard some of you casually say--oh yeah, I might stop in. oh you Estes Park lovelies!)
That's fine, but we ARE going to ask you to purchase your tickets on Eventbrite from your phones even if you are 6 feet from the gate. If you don't wanna do that, that's ok too. We'll sell them to you for a few dollars more and can take cash or credit card. But, we'd like to not overwhelm our volunteers.
Here's the link to purchase them now!
Estes Park's Bluegrass Festival since 2016!
Premiere This Sunday!
SnowyGrass-A Bluegrass Music Festival Documentary
We received this photo of 2 of our SnowyGrass vendors when they were at a Larry and Jenny Keel show. That's Chris from Colorfully Blessed Designs and Crystal from Tie-Dyed Turtle Natural Living, LLC . People asked if they would be at odds vending at the same fest. What do you think??
Besides, Chris is the one with the tie-dyed clothing. Crystal has cool collars and leads for doggies, and sometimes jewelry to accessorize their humans!
Guess who's coming back to SnowyGrass? Estes Park Pet Association comes every year, and they bring at least 1 or more adoptable pets. We think some of these little guys are going to be there on Saturday of the fest!
We will have 4 nonprofits represented at our festival- Estes Arts District vends our bar each year, and 100% of the proceeds benefit them, and in turn they benefit out arts community.
Colorado Bluegrass Music Society will be there next to our merch tent. They are 50 years old this year!! Did you know they started the first bluegrass fest in Colorado 50 years ago, and that was the festival that became RockyGrass!
We also welcome the Kahuna Memorial project www.kahunamemorial.com to raise money to commemorate the great elk.
"Estes Valley locals and visitors near and far have marveled at the magnificence of a bull elk known as Kahuna.
Whether it was his unique antlers, bellowing bugle or regal manner when protecting his harem, he captured the hearts of many around the world. In fact, it is said Kahuna is one of the largest and may be the most photographed elk in North America."
We couldn't resist posting our Yellowstone puppies! They are 6 weeks old now and will be ready for their families around the 3rd week of July! Please pm us for more information and an application. 🎉🎉Update Beth and Rip have been adopted 🎉🎉.
Look, Ma! We're on the big screen!
The Historic Park Theatre is 100+ year old theatre in Estes Park. Come for the free premiere. You might be in it!
Especially if you attended last year or were in Coleman Square during Academy. (iykyk)

Don't miss Lindsay Lou in Estes Park at SnowyGrass Music Fest!
Lindsay Lou has been making soulful, poignant music for the last decade. An undeniable powerhouse, Lou’s remarkable gifts as a singer, songwriter, musician and performer demand the listener’s attention. Her singing floats over the masterful playing and deep groove of her band with both a fierce intensity and a tender intimacy.
Today, touring nationally and internationally year round, Lindsay Lou and her band continue to collect a mass of friends and fans along the way. Notable U.S. festival plays include Telluride Bluegrass festival, Merlefest, Stagecoach, Redwing, ROMP, GreyFox, and a slew of others. Abroad, they have appeared at Scotland’s Shetland Island Folk Fest and the Celtic Connections tour, Australia’s National Folk Festival, and others. Of the live show, fRoots Magazine reviewed "...(Lindsay Lou is) the most affectingly expressive singer since Amy Winehouse, backed by the new Punch Brothers.” The Boot, who featured Lindsay Lou Band as a “Can’t Miss Act" at AmericanaFest 2018, says “...Lou brings introspection and masterful vocal work to her live show.”

Since forming nearly 50 years ago, Seldom Scene has brought both freewheeling joy and immaculate musicianship to their inventive take on bluegrass, offering up spirited interpretations of songs from limitless genres. On their new album Changes, the band sharpens their focus to a highly specific body of work: songs first recorded in the 1960s and very early ’70s, rooted in the archetypal storytelling of classic singer-songwriters. And in taking on the music of iconic artists like Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt, The Seldom Scene perform a sort of subtle magic: transforming the most stripped-bare songs into harmony-rich and elaborately arranged compositions, while wholly sustaining the charmed simplicity of each piece.
Dudley Connell (guitar) - Lou Reid (mandolin, guitar) - Ron Stewart (banjo, fiddle)
Fred Travers (Dobro) - Ronnie Simpkins (bass)

The Way Down Wanderers:
#1 of 10 New Artists You Need To Know - Rolling Stone Country Winter 2019
“The Way Down Wanderers intricate, hypnotic rhythms call to mind 'Bittersweet Symphony' more than bluegrass traditional." - Rolling Stone Country
"Somewhere on the spectrum between Old Crow Medicine Show and Mumford and Sons lies the spirited bluegrass-based artistry of The Way Down Wanderers. It is joyful, daring and occasionally sublime.” - Associated Press
“In addition to songwriting skills wholly impressive for their youth, and their equally admirable musicianship, there is a charisma in their sound accompanied by a positivity that proves infectious.” - No Depression
The Sweet Lilles
By Susan Marquez in The Bluegrass Standard
“The Sweet Lillies’ sound is high energy, along with melodic tunes that keep fans coming back for more. Described as “original Americana music, Colorado-style,” the band has carved out a unique niche for themselves with their rare and alluring sound.”
