About Head for the Hills
Like a painter that starts in acrylic and graduates to oils, Head for the Hills is deeper and richer in their 15th year as a band, with a wider palette of sonic textures at their disposal. Dorm room jam sessions have turned into a decade-plus on the road - from humble coffee shops to theaters, festivals, roadhouses and clubs all across the country. Over time those sounds and influences have crept more and more into the bluegrass beginnings of the band, morphing into the seasoned eclecticism of Say Your Mind. The new songs are quintessential Head for the Hills; genre-straddling, lyrically deep, and danceable, with a crew of collaborators bringing the best Colorado acoustic, roots, and soul music together. Head for the Hills numerous festival appearances include notables Telluride Bluegrass Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, South by Southwest, FloydFest, and Rockygrass. They were awarded Best Bluegrass in Colorado four times via Denver's Westword Magazine.

About Strumbucket
Strumbucket is a twang-funk quintet hailing from the realm of two Teton Counties. Their southern roots stir up a sonic sound, fusing together the genres of country, rock, bluegrass, samba, jazz, and funk. Influenced by a wide range of sounds, including bands like Little Feat, The Meters, and Ween, the group crafts their more than tongue-in-cheek genre-bending originals into an all-encompassing experience.
In recent years, Strumbucket has wedged its way into the Jackson Hole music scene with its unique music, playing everything from rowdy bar gigs to fun-filled community events, and several local venues. Sharing the stage with numerous local acts along the way, the band has also enjoyed supporting well-known acts such as JoJo Herman (Widespread Panic), Y La Bamba, and The Ghost of Paul Revere.
