Their shows are deeply historically informed by the American string band tradition, with special emphasis on those parts of the music’s lineage that are often ignored. Yet they also approach our source material with playfulness and experimentation, joyfully engaging with the old time tradition from where they currently stand as a contemporary, majority trans group of musicians, each with their own distinct artistic voice.

A family activity to enhance your summer travels, ages 12 and up.
Visit the Delta Library to view art by Heidl Hasenauer. Hasenauer is a Colorado based artist who was technically trained in 3D sculptural arts. Her desire to create quickly and with little to no plan led her away from long-drawn out techniques and toward fast drying acrylic paint. The focus of this series is based on understanding the effects of experience and phenomena on the human psyche. This art exhibit will be on display at the Delta Library until July 27. For more information, visit deltalibraries.org.

Where can you find community history, sidesplitting improv, creative writing and captivating artistry all at once? At the Blue Sage’s StoryShare! We begin by honoring and preserving our roots through video recordings of the personal stories of long-time families in the North Fork Valley. Then we invite writers and artists to interpret those stories with their own creative flair.
These efforts culminate in a packed-house event where you, and the Boulder improv group Playback Theatre, meet the families, hear the stories, and see the art. Then the performing artists provide their own wild, hilarious, moving take on what they’ve witnessed. It is an event like no other.
This year this event is free and admittance will be on a first come first served basis. Thank you!
