Bluegrass in the West is known for incorporating progressive influences, but few bands have perfected a blend of deep tradition and trailblazing like Jeff Scroggins & Colorado. The band brings together brilliant musicianship with powerhouse Appalachian vocals, solid and energetic rhythm, and an easy stage banter that has delighted listeners all over the world. Fronted by internationally acclaimed two-time National Banjo Champion Jeff Scroggins. Scroggins is joined by his son, the preternaturally gifted young mandolinist and 2017 IBMA Award winner Tristan Scroggins. The band’s vocalist Greg Blake grew up in West Virginia, and when he sings, you can hear a voice that connects to the great old generations of mountain singers, invested with a rich twang and the kind of eerily powerful cry that first inspired the 'high, lonesome sound. Fiddler Ellie Hakanson was a 2017 IBMA Momentum Award nominee and legendary bassist and two time IBMA bass player of the year Mark Schatz round out this powerful and exciting cast.
