Traveler of nations and notions, troubadour of folk ballads and tuna salads, lover abroad and brother to frauds, jubilant dog-man and malcontent smog-man, taker of breaks and squealer of brakes.

Our hope is to share the joy of music with others and to give back to the community. Just let us know of any benefit events that would welcome a little music.

Weaving stories both melodic and foot stomping, Rae McAlister’s vocal stylings range from Folk to Rock to Baroque Pop.  Her go-to instruments are piano, guitar, and ukulele but her kicker is her heart, telling tales of love, loss, and the trails she’s blazed.  Grabbing a little from every place she’s lived, and played, you’ll catch pieces of her heritage and Americana peeking up throughout all of her sounds.  Don’t miss a chance to hear this songbird share her melodies!

Having started early learning classical compositions on the upright bass in middle school, Cody Schell has been playing strings for most of his life. During his earlier years, he picked up the mandolin, banjo, jazz bass and guitar with the support and influence of his family, but acoustic guitar won him over as the instrument of choice. Through learning other’s songs and being self-taught, he’s developed a unique voice and a broad vocal range that has been influenced by nearly all genres and generations of music – but especially classic rock, soul, and folk.
More recently, he began focusing on songwriting and has produced several catchy tunes with clever lyrics about the beauty and struggles of life. Cody recently graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in biology, but decided he had more to contribute in the world of music. Listeners can expect to hear lyrics inspired by his passion for the outdoors and his belief that being open-minded is the best way to approach life.

Farmer.  Father.  Musician.  Painter.

Ryan Dart’s music encompasses the worlds that he lives in.  You can’t sing about needing rain, unless you really know what it means to need rain.  The new album, Drifters Heart, showcases his earnest and heartfelt songwriting, stripped down to its core and presented honestly.  Recorded in Austin, TX and Boulder, CO, the album is a departure from some of Ryan’s earlier, more rock leaning offerings.  Yet, it still retains all of the qualities common throughout Ryan’s music – genuine lyrics, vivid imagery, and an authentic take on American music.

Michael Waido has been playing music for as long as he could hold an instrument. As a solo musician he has played stages and festivals throughout Colorado and the Midwest. In the summer of 2004 he was the headliner at a local music festival in Greeley, CO and wanted to have a bigger sound – “just a one time thing”. He called up his friends Pete Carlson and Dave Wisbon, and after playing the first song together in Pete’s basement – they all knew it wasn’t going to be just a one time thing. The trio has been having a blast playing tunes for going on 13 years now, and has a solid following throughout the Front Range. One thing you can be assured of when you go out to hear The Waido Experience – you’re going to have a good time.
