The Living Deads
Hillbilly Hellcats Drummer! Jealous boyfriend!! Guns!!! Stolen truck! Plane ticket! New Bass player!
The Living Deads take Do-It-Yourself to a new level. From living full time in their RV, designing and printing their own t-shirts, to booking their own tours, this band takes it all upon themselves and they are still ready for more………
With Randee McKnight on drums/vocals and Symphony Tidwell on upright bass/vocals, they have made a name for themselves across the U.S. and Canada by “Kidnapping” various guitar players after their guitar player quit on them at 3 am as they were leaving town for their tour.
This rockabilly duo set out to turn the tables on the traditional way things are done in a band. Normally, it is the guitar player/singer who makes the calls. The Living Deads would rather throw a burlap sack over the head of tradition and start making demands.
They have kidnapped Danny B. Harvey, of The Head Cat; Chuck Hughes, of The Hillbilly Hellcats; James Hunnicutt, of the Revolvers; Hank Hays and many more.
There is no telling who they will have next in their burlap sack, so don’t even think about missing a show when they come to your town!

Lee Simms & The Platte River Band
Country Music has a refined taste for artists with powerful, resonate, baritone voices; as such, Country Music Fans around the world have overwhelmingly embraced Lee Sims as their down-home superstar. Always “keeping it Country”, Lee Sims exhibits a world-class presence, on stage and in the recording studio, that draws purists and contemporary fans together. As a result, Lee has become a Colorado Country Music icon and topped Independent International Charts with his 2005 CD, Back Trackin’, and most recently with the 2014 release of Deep in the Heart of Me.
Take a listen, and it’s easy to believe that this power-house of a voice began his singing career at the age of five years old. Early on, Lee’s parents knew that he had a natural talent and encouraged him to sing along. “As a youngster I would listen to my Mom and Dad’s record collection of Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, and Tennessee Ernie Ford … basically anything I could get my hands on! When I was eight years old my Dad would take me to local music jam sessions, and I experience the thrill of performing live. It was an incredibly exhilarating and humbling experience.” The band has a video they would love for you to check out at leesimms.com.

Alterity
As a band, ALTERITY is adapting this ideology to morph old school Delta Blues with elements of traditional heavy metal and psychedelic desert rock creating a mid tempo groove laden bass sound featuring heavily distorted and fuzzed guitars, melodic vocals, droning synthesizers and retro production techniques.
Alterity originated as 2 piece band, guitar/vocals(Wyatt Leonard) and drums(Flip Longley). The two founding members met at the Denver School of Rock in 2011, become friends, sharing very similar tastes in music and quickly decided to start their own project, Alterity. Their major influences would be Black Sabbath, Jack White, Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age, Son House, Sleep, Robert Johnson, Junior Kimbrough, Om, North Mississippi Allstars and several other old timer Delta Blues and Heavy Metal artists.
