Elephant Revival in Dillon

Elephant Revival is an American folk and roots band formed in Nederland, Colorado, in 2006. The group draws on bluegrass, Celtic music and indie folk, using instruments including fiddle, banjo, cello and washboard. Its best-known recordings include the albums These Changing Skies and Petals, as well as the song “Sing to the Mountain.” A 2018 concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre marked the beginning of the band’s hiatus after years of touring theatres and festivals. Elephant Revival returned to the stage in 2023 for reunion concerts at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, reconnecting the group with its Colorado live audience. The band has also performed at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Northwest String Summit, two recurring events closely associated with American roots music.

Desert Dwellers are an American electronic duo formed in 1999 by Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe.
