Masontown with Bonnie & Taylor - Kaleidoscope Concerts
Join us for a special concert in the Kaleidoscope concert series featuring Masontown with special guests Bonnie & Taylor. A new and enchanting sound has emerged from the hotbed of the Colorado roots music scene. Masontown, a young band with a concept as timeless as the Rocky Mountains, has alighted onto a bluegrass community that has already produced some of the best that the acoustic music world has to offer. But Colorado, and the wider world of modern music, hasnt quite heard this yet.A lauded fiddle champion and classical violinist. A veteran bluegrass mandolin player and composer. One of Colorados jazz guitar greats reborn as a flatpicking sensation. An upright bassist with roots running deep in the classical and jazz traditions. These are the individual elements that come together to create Masontown.
Masontowns sound is a exciting take on the American acoustic tradition. At once fresh and familiar, the group unites the sounds of bluegrass, old-time, folk, and new acoustic music into a sonic melting pot that hearkens back to our deep musical traditions while remaining defiantly modern in conception. Echoes of the poignant exploration of the Matt Flinner Trio blend with the fierce drive of Bill Monroe and the plaintive song-craft of Cahalen Morrison and Eli West. Its no surprise that the members of Masontown have shared the stage with many of these musical icons that their sound evokes.
Bonnie and Taylor Sims are a musical couple from Texas who now make their home in the Rocky Mountains. Over the last 5 years they have made a name for themselves as a true Colorado treasure with a full touring schedule as well as many teaching and speaking commitments. Bonnie Sims plays mandolin and carries on the musical tradition of her father, a life long Texas banjo playing legend and songwriter. Taylor Sims plays flat-top guitar and is an award-winning songwriter and recording artist from wide open spaces of West Texas. The two met while attending South Plains College in 2005 where they began their life of love and music. When they are not playing as the duo, they front a five piece country/rock band called Bonnie & the Clydes. With 4 critically acclaimed albums and multiple awards they continue to write, perform and produce real Americana music that is truly their own
