June 17: Tierro Band with Bridget Law

A sultry alt-Americana band founded in Boulder in 2013, Foxfeather is a local staple in the Colorado Front Range and also tours nationally. Beginning with a soulful lyrical base, and bolstered by strong blues-rock instrumentals, Foxfeather’s unique sound captivates their audiences.
