About The Little Mercies
The Little Mercies are a folk and old-time trio of songwriting multi-instrumentalists whose genre-defying sound has quickly earned national recognition and awards. In just two years, they’ve grown from local jam sessions to headlining festivals, captivating audiences with powerful vocal harmonies, raging twin fiddles, tear-wrenching lyrics, and a palpable sense of joy. Their music promises an authentic, exuberant live experience.
Bronwyn Chelette, Shanice Richards, and (area native!) Rosalee Walsh come from diverse musical backgrounds, united by a shared love of old-time music. That foundation gives them the versatility to blur genre lines and connect with a wide range of audiences. Their performances move effortlessly from intimate, emotional originals to high-energy dance tunes—each set designed to be memorable and deeply felt.
At the core of The Little Mercies’ artistry is community. With professional backgrounds in music therapy, teaching artistry, and nursing, they intentionally create interactive performances suited for community and healing spaces. They believe in surviving—and thriving—together, using music not just as entertainment, but as a tool for connection, care, and collective joy.
About Desiderata
Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Desiderata emerged from the heart of the Southwest, originally forming in Durango. Their sound strikes a seamless balance between tight, irresistible grooves and expansive, melodic songwriting—music that makes you move while still leaving room to feel. Imagine Fleetwood Mac’s timeless melodies colliding with Chromeo’s modern funk energy.
The five-piece features Autumn Ford’s silky, pop-infused vocals, Connor “Minky” Klimenko’s groove-driven bass, Hamo Thorneycroft on lead guitar, Jake Ostrowski on keys, and Will Roberts on drums. Drawing from Soul, Pop, Funk, Indie, Disco, and Rock, Desiderata’s music captures the beauty of desert sunsets, mountain vistas, cherished friendships, and neon-lit dance floors beneath a spinning disco ball.
