The Summer Brew Fest at Mile High Station will celebrate craft beverages from around Colorado and other U.S. microbrews and feature; live local music, food, and other vendors. This event benefits Swallow Hill Music Association.
Swallow Hill serves a large community with instruction and performance of musical art forms such as folk, blues, bluegrass, Celtic, jazz, world, roots, and dance.

Kick off your Independence Day weekend with a celebration of quintessential American songs performed by Trinity Demask, Andy Ard, Lauren Brombert and Steve Jantzen. From immigrant influences, America’s musical legacy was defined by the blending of cultures, rhythms, and experiences. What emerged over two centuries are musical genres and stories that weave a tapestry as colorful and vibrant as the nation’s people. Trinity and friends will share their own interpretations of folk, country, blues, and jazz tunes that are both timeless and distinctly American.

Tickets $10 advance/$12 day-of-show, $2 discount for SH members

It’s the CD Release of a sountrack for the trailer for a book! Colorado author Michael G. Wallace is releasing “The Red Fire Fly” along with a slew of music that accompanies a promotional trailer.

One of the songs in the collection is “That’s What She Did to Me“, by yours truly. Get on down there to see me along with Tequila Mockingbird, Trailer Park Playboys and Ricky and the Radios.

More information here.

Andy makes a brief appearance (as we’ve mentioned a time or two) in Eric Shiveley’s documentary about being an indepedent musician that’s in the Jackson Hole Film Festival (June 5-9). Andy wants to help Eric get better gigs and more publicity, and it would be fun to generate interest in all the great Colorado music from the film. If you or someone you know is an industry bigwig, please let them in on this.

Just watch the clips and forward them to friends. Everything else takes care of itself!

Thanks!
