SUMMARY:Ryan Biter Album Release with Special Guest Andy Sydow
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Biter is the aimless\, eccentric\, tactless kid you went to school with growing up that you always kind of wondered what happened to after high school.With equal measures of irreverence\, sharp insight\, and vulnerability\, Biter invites audiences to be open to our profound humanness. Weird\, wonderful\, and flawed. \nThink of him like a guitar slinging Mr. Rogers for messed up adults.\nThe grit\, soul\, and raw emotion of his voice has drawn comparisons to Chris Stapleton\, Amos Lee\, and Martin Sexton. His songwriting is incisive yet free of pretence. Catchy but thoughtful. Rootsy but Radio Ready.His expansive guitar playing tells epic stories and has been compared to players like Tommy Emmanuel\, Michael Hedges\, John Butler\, Newton Faulkner\, and James Taylor.Biter has been described as “A One Man Musical Force” with a singular focus.Biter has played for audiences in the US\, Ireland\, and Australia \nRyanbitermusic.com \nAmericana\, rock\, folk\, singer-songwriter\, Andy Sydow is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist who’s lyrics paint a picture of poetic realism. Touring consistently both solo and with a backing band\, Sydow is known to sway an audience with acoustic guitar ballads\, sing a few numbers on his lap steel\, and even sit down at the keys to show off his surprising boogie-woogie piano chops. He draws comparisons to voices like Paul Simon and Jackson Browne\, mixed with a roots rock vibe reminiscent of Tom Petty or Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. \n2024 saw the release of\, Night Skin\, a full length album produced by Anders Osborne at Dockside Studio in Maurice\, LA. Osborne also played guitar and sang backing vocals\, with Mike Dillion on percussion\, and Casandra Faulconer rounding out the quartet on bass. After the albums release\, Sydow celebrated by opening multiple dates for John Hiatt. The full band (Andy Sydow & The Minor League) had an official release show at The Bluebird Theater in Denver\, CO\, before heading out on a southern/midwest US tour. \nAside from Hiatt and Osborne\, Sydow has also had the chance to open for acts such as: Dawes\, Chuck Prophet\, Lucero\, Brett Dennen\, Shane Smith & The Saints\, and Dick Dale. He was also named a finalist in the Telluride Troubadour Contest (2024)\, Acorn Theater Songwriter Contest (2024)\, LEAF Songwriter Contest (2024)\, Kerrville New Folk Songwriter Competition (2023 & 2021)\, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Songwriter Competition (2023)\, and International Songwriting Competition (2021). \nSydow has toured internationally and received accolades from No Depression\, Stereo Stickman\, We Write About Music\, and Daily Music Spin. In addition\, the last several years have seen the release of over a dozen tracks Sydow produced for other artists\, including Lauren Frihauf and Payge Turner (The Voice\, Season 19). \nWhen he’s not touring\, writing\, or recording\, Sydow spends time talking to other creatives and music industry professionals on his podcast\, Middle Class Rock Star. The hour”ish” long weekly program comes out periodically on all streaming platforms\, as well as 30 FM stations around Colorado (via Chris K’s Colorado Playlist). MCRS has played host to the likes of: Andy Frasco\, Shane Smith & The Saints\, Sunny War\, Dango Rose (Elephant Revival)\, Jeremy Lawton (Big Head Todd & The Monsters)\, Todd Smallie (Derek Trucks\, JJ Grey & Mofro)\, Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson)\, Leftover Salmon\, and Phil Cook. \nhttps://andysydow.com

SUMMARY:Mama’s Broke - Reunion Album Release Tour
DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade\, Mama’s Broke\, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria\, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion\, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group\, follows years in near-constant motion\, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs\, DIY spaces\, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count the Wicked\, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds and traveling by foot\, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada\, Appalachia\, Ireland\, and beyond. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them\, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. \nThat foundation was built long before stages and studio sessions\, in traveling communities where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met within a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs\, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories across the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoire that could hold attention and sustain emotion\, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time\, the songs became a common language\, connecting what came before with the music they were making together. \nBuilding on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022)\, Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight\, tracing fractured communities\, the erosion of shared ground\, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach or prescribe; they reflect\, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape. \nRecorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville\, Tennessee\, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Paul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others\, adding depth without pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart\, Mama’s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices\, intertwined\, both fragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from\, or even a place you return to\, but what you make together\, and how long it lasts\, if you tend to it. \nMama’s Broke are touring their new album in North America and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027.

SUMMARY:Greenhouse Productions Presents: Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:It might’ve even been last night\, but Steve Poltz just played the greatest show of his life. Guess what? \nThe next show will be even greater\, making that show the greatest show of his life. \nAre you starting to notice a trend? \nHe isn’t shy about it either. \nEven after most likely thousands of shows (but who’s counting?)\, he hits the stage with the same amount of energy and always makes sure to declare\, “This is the greatest show of my life.” \nIt’s why he’s quietly emerged as the kind of live phenomenon celebrated passionately by a diehard fanbase worldwide and renowned as a festival favorite everywhere from Bluesfest in Byron Bay and High Sierra Music Festival in California and Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado to Cayamo Cruise (where he actually got married). It’s why his music has crept into pop culture via collaborations with everyone from Jewel and Billy Strings to Molly Tuttle\, Sierra Hull\, Nicki Bluhm\, Oliver Wood\, and even the late Mojo Nixon. It’s why after over a dozen albums\, he’s still creatively firing on all cylinders and critically acclaimed by the likes of Rolling Stone\, Associated Press\, Billboard\, and many more. \nNevertheless\, the next gig will be the greatest show for him (and maybe for you too)… \n“I started doing it years ago\, because I feel grateful to still be alive\,” he notes. ”Even today\, I still do it\, and I believe my own bullshit. I convinced myself that every show is the greatest show I’ve ever played. They’re all different\, and it depends on my mood each day\, but I know I’m there to entertain people. It always cracks me up when I stumble into some sort of weird thing that’s handed to me like a gift from the freaky deadly heavens above.” \nSteve might as well be “a gift from the freaky deadly heavens above” himself. He was born in Nova Scotia—Halifax\, to be exact. Somewhere along the way\, he began his relationship with the guitar at six-years-old. “We’re joined at the hip and lip and it’s always near my grip\,” he affirms. He grew up in Los Angeles and Palm Springs (where he “met Elvis and Liberace”) and settled in San Diego (where he cut his teeth “under the tutelage of The Beat Farmers”). \nHe kicked off his musical journey in San Diego-bred underground favorites The Rugburns. However\, the world got to know Steve when co-wrote two tracks from Jewel’s diamond-certified debut Pieces Of You\, including the multi platinum Billboard Hot 100 #2 “You Were Meant For Me” (he’s also in the video). He delivered his own full-length debut One Left Shoe in 1998 and paved the way for an extensive solo catalog defined by what he calls “evocative lyrics mixed with positivity and traces of tragicomedy.”  \nIf you so choose\, you can trace his evolution from “Everything About You” (which popped up in Notting Hill) to the staple “Can O’ Pop”— christened “a fizzy delight” by Rolling Stone. The latter graced his 2022 album\, Stardust & Satellites. Co-produced and created with The Wood Brothers\, it garnered widespread acclaim. HOLLER. hailed it as “a wonderfully energized\, often joyful and wryly provocative release from the charismatic Steve Poltz\,” while No Depression dubbed it “poignant and ultimately uplifting.” Glide Magazine applauded how\, “He takes chances like few others and seems to be increasingly more unconventional as he embraces Americana.” \nSimultaneously\, a myriad of artists continue to seek him out as a collaborator in the studio. Whether it be “Leaders” with Billy Strings or “Million Miles” with Molly Tuttle\, he’s got dozens of cuts with various friends under his belt. He contributed two tunes to Deer Tick’s Emotional Contracts with frontman John J. McCauley going on to profess to Brooklyn Vegan\, “Steve Poltz may be the biggest\, most direct inspiration for me on this record.” \nSteve adds\, “Usually when these folks and many others come over to my house in Nashville we end up with something I love. I try not to overthink it. There are no rules. It’s kind of like fishing. You don’t catch anything if you don’t throw your rod in the water. So I guess I just try to be available for inspiration\, mixed with perspiration and exasperation.” \nSpeaking of perspiration\, he regularly travels far and wide to audiences of all ages and all continents most every day. \n“I travel from town to town and fool people\,” he grins. “I sing them songs and tell them stories and somehow they decide to pay money to obtain some merch and witness the spectacle. Then I return a year later and fool them again.” \nIn the end\, Steve is probably gearing up for the greatest show of his life as you read this. \nThankfully\, that will never change. \nHe signs off\, “I’m just a weirdo\, a freak\, a bon vivant\, a rounder\, a rabble rouser\, a workaholic\, a people pleaser\, an idiot and a grateful kid who ran away and joined the circus.” \nCan we say it might just be The Greatest Show on Earth?!

SUMMARY:Greenhouse Productions Presents: Kalos
DESCRIPTION:Music inspired by the maritime traditions of Scotland\, Ireland\, Scandinavia and North America. \n\n\n\n\nKalos is drawn to water. Every performance is like stepping into a river—they never play a song the same way twice. They make music inspired by the maritime traditions of Scotland\, Ireland\, Scandinavia and North America. Their album titles—Harbour and Headland—honor the meeting point between the land and sea and they sing songs about shorelines\, seafarers and drownings. They revel in the driving danceability of Irish tunes\, but also take inspiration from the pastoral melodies and naturalistic metaphors of Scottish music. But while the music they write is forged in tradition\, it is nonetheless cast and tempered in new and unexpected ways. \n“There’s a certain spontaneity at work as the three musicians alternately contest and duel\, combine and coalesce to bring their talents together.” — Folkwords

SUMMARY:Artwork Photographic Documentation
DESCRIPTION:This workshop teaches the artist to professionally photograph their own work\, along with post-processing\, and various formats. \n\n\n\n\nNothing matches the visceral experience artwork in-person. But in reality\, original artwork is most often viewed through reproduction—websites\, social media\, print catalogs—and professionally photographed artwork is critical to the success of artists who are applying for grants\, exhibitions\, residencies\, fellowships\, and other creative opportunities. Professional photography can be expensive for an artist to document their entire portfolio. This workshop teaches the artist to professionally photograph their own work—paintings\, drawings\, and sculpture—along with post-processing\, editing\, and formats for digital platforms and professional applications. Camera equipment and editing software available for participant use at Coconino Center for the Arts. \nPart of our FREE Workshop Series to support Flagstaff’s Creative Community \nAll events are FREE\, in-person\, at Coconino Center for the Arts. Space is limited\, registration required.
