Hailing from all corners of the country, Kind Hearted Strangers began in Boulder, CO-where an impromptu open mic performance by songwriter Marc more...0 Townes quickly evolved into something much bigger. With genre-bending improvisations from lead guitarist Kevin Hinder and bassist/vocalist Ace Engfer, KHS has become a dynamic full band capable of bridging the gap between all-out rock n’ roll and their harmony-driven acoustic roots. Their debut record “East//West” (2021) digs into the places they’ve come from and explores the places they’re going to, with a diverse sound that reflects the broad influences each member brings to the band. Tickets are $20. Doors open at 6:30 Show starts at 7pm

7:00pm-9:00pm, 312 Onarga Avenue, Paonia

2024 Bross Hotel concert series season finale! Kentucky musician and composer Ben Sollee has been blurring boundaries with his musical style and more...0 career for nearly two decades – his latest album, Long Haul (2024) is no exception. Drawing on tonal influences from the American and global south, Sollee’s vocals and unique cello style thread through each track binding seemingly disparate chapters of his journey – the Long Haul. Sollee's work as a composer has included scoring films such as LAND from director Robin Wright, and Maggie Morre(s), a John Slattery film featuring Tina Fey and Jon Hamm. He also scored the podcast series Unreformed, which was recently nominated for a Peabody Award. Outside of music, Sollee helped launch the non-profit Canopy, which supports Kentucky businesses positively impacting their communities and planet. Sollee is known for his outside-of-the-box cello playing and his curiosity has led him to new, innovative media spaces, having quite literally toured the world by plane, train, automobile, bicycle, and on foot. His musical virtuosity and ever-evolving sound combines elements from the folk, pop, soul, and classical genres into a dazzling style all his own.
