2025 Stage Shows:
11:15 Skean Dubh
Founded in 1994, Skean Dubh’s diverse repertoire spans centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, Scottish ballads, Irish pub-songs, Celtic folksongs, and gorgeous slow airs. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. (reverbnation.com/skeandubhband)
1:15 Wolf Loescher and the Growlers
Wolf Loescher feels at home in many places: behind a microphone, behind a drum kit, behind a computer keyboard; on a stage, on a boat, on a mountain; in a kilt, in sneakers and jeans, in a swimsuit; at a house concert, at a local music venue, at a large international music festival. His music reflects this.
He has also called many places home: California, Arizona, Texas, Scotland, Minnesota, and now Colorado, and each place has contributed to his musical DNA.
Over the 20+ years since his first solo album, Wolf has learned many songs, heard many stories, and made many friends. Now he is ready to share them as he makes new friends, learns new stories, and sings new songs.
Some say that you have to leave home to truly appreciate it…but for Wolf Loescher, he had to leave home to find it.
