TBP Joe
TBP Joe brings a one-man musical experience that's anything but ordinary. Armed with nothing more than a bass guitar, drum machine, and his unmistakable vocals, Joe creates a surprisingly full, groove-driven sound that blurs the line between jam session, comedy, and musical experimentation.
His original songs mix funky bass lines, oddball humor, and unexpected twists into a performance that's equal parts concert and performance art.
If you're looking for polished pop covers, this isn't it. If you're ready for something unique, quirky, and undeniably entertaining, grab a pint and settle in for an evening with one of western Colorado's most distinctive local musicians.

Spencer marlyn band
Spencer Marlyn Band is what happens when a looping wizard and a one-man drum circle collide. Formed in Bend, Oregon by two Midwest transplants, this high-energy duo delivers the kind of sound you’d expect from a full band—genre-hopping their way through funk, reggae, bluegrass, jam, folk, and psychedelia.
Frontman Spencer Marlyn combines captivating songwriting with a looping setup and effects pedal mastery, while percussionist Scottie brings a globally influenced punch, shaped by his background in West African rhythms and a wildly diverse drum kit. The result? A danceable, feel-good explosion of sound packed with originals and crowd-favorite covers.
