Pleasure People (Casper, WY):
At times moody and emotional, at times downright eerie, mysterious, and slightly subversive, Pleasure People is both difficult to categorize and immediately recognizable due to Nick's unusual guitar tuning, cerebral lyrical content, and the use of instruments as varied as cello, mandolin, banjo, banjolele , bass, and drums. Pleasure People can be labeled as Alternative / Folk music, though you'll find elements of two-steppin' Americana and Bluegrass interspersed with quiet musings on family shadows, skid-mounted love, and half-haunted houses.
Edgey, gritty and moody, Pleasure People's lyrics and lyrical melodies shine against the backdrop of unusual and intricate arrangements combined with haunting harmonies. Their songs are poetic, sometimes a bit dark, deeply personal, and yet ultimately feel-good fun. Pleasure People is not quite like anything you've heard lately, and we think not to be missed!
Shawn Hess (Laramie, WY):
“Shawn Hess crawled out of a western noir film and into your hearts with songs that stand firmly with one foot in the oldest roots of western music and folk and the other in a modern sensibility for narrative and rhyme.” -David Burchfield
John Kirlin (Sheridan, WY):
For more than a decade, John Kirlin, often joined by his band The High Plains Drifters, has been performing a unique blend of Americanna, Country, Rock, and Bluegrass across the Rocky Mountain region. Whether playing to a festival crowd or in a more intimate setting, his passion for storytelling and love of music is showcased by a high-energy experience that is truly infectious!
