June 2016

While iconic guitarist and bandleader Jerry Garcia passed away nearly twenty-one years ago, his influence and high-esteem continues to mount. It’s miraculous that so many fans of the beloved guitarist and Grateful Dead bandleader never actually witnessed the legend perform. The expansiveness of his covers was equally impressive as his originals. That’s why Garcia and the Dead continue to grow their fan base, much like jazz music, there’s something ethereal about simply listening and taking in.

On June 3rd, 2016, Kontagium Productions had the opportunity to interview Twiddle's drummer Brook Jordan before the band's dynamic three-set spectacular at the Fox Theatre, amid their recent visit to Colorado during the "Fox to the Rocks Tweekend".

Colorado’s own Zach Heckendorf returns home to The Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO on Friday, June 24th with special guest Megan Burtt & The Cure For Love. Backed by his latest release UP! – EP, Heckendorf has been touring the country landing himself spots at major festivals such as Bonnaroo and Vertex.

John Hartford Memorial Festival is a testament to not only the legend himself, but to the genre and thriving music that was born and inspired by he & his ensemble of fellow bluegrass roots Americana musicians.  There has been no beat skipped since his passing in 2001 and this festival’s continued growth further verifies that truth.
