Lonesome Traveler

About Me


Lonesome Traveler will have to change their name soon to account for the horde of fans that are starting to follow them around. This is an acoustic band from Colorado’s front range with a bluegrass driver’s license, a certificate of songwriting, and a sheriff’s badge of cool. They possess the cracklin’ firepower of a six-piece band, yet the grace of a dancer as they weave in and around their condenser microphones, singing, picking, and testifying to the gospel of Americana music.
Together the band makes music that moves the old sounds forward. Their songs are squarely in the rich vein of Americana bluegrass, folk, blues, country and Celtic sounds, yet they bring in contemporary metaphors and reflections that are connecting with audiences and radio listeners all across our great nation. Taking second place in both Telluride and Rockygrass band contests, and playing over 150 shows a year since they started, the band is putting on the miles and getting out the smiles wherever they go.
