The River Arkansas CD Release Show
The River Arkansas is a band made up of some of the finest musicians on the Colorado front range. Fronted by Mike Clark (The Haunted Windchimes, Mike Clark & The Sugar Sounds), the band delivers a mixture of heartfelt country, blues, folk, and Americana, inspired by the Arkansas River.
Backed by the rhythm foundation of drummer Robin Chestnut and upright bass player Macon Terry, Clark crafts beautiful swelling melodies punctuated by cellist Danah Olivetree and violinist Rachel Sliker.
After a strong 2016 with shows at Red Rocks and The Fox Theater the band rolls into Pueblo to release their new album "You Animal" Tickets are limited
Special Guest Willy Tea Taylor
Willy Tea Taylor is a father, brother, and son.His remarkable ability to sing about profound subjects in a simple way makes his songs a great place to lose yourself. Much of that comes from his upbringing. Willy grew up surrounded by rolling hills and horses in the small town of Oakdale, California. Known as the Cowboy Capital of the World for breeding so many world champion rodeo cowboys, Oakdale is still Willys home and the setting for many of his songs. Despite coming from a long line of cattlemen his grandfather Walt was one of the most respected of his generation Willys first love was baseball. As a catcher, he had a gift for the nuances of calling a game from behind the plate. When a knee injury ended his ability to catch, Willy turned his attention to music. At the age of 18, a discerning and intimate set by Greg Brown at the Strawberry Music Festival inspired Willy to pursue life as a folk singer. Strawberry would play an integral role in Willys development as a musician, going from spectator to stagehand, to performer. He made his main stage debut with his band the Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit at the 2009 festival. In 2015, Willy made his solo debut on the main stage. Willy has charmed fans at some of the best festivals in the country.
