Live Music - Leadville Cherokee

Not bluegrass.

Leadville Cherokee is a rock band from Colorado that mixes the elements of rock, funk, country, and crustpunk with pure energy. The band counts Ween, Paul Cauthen, The Steeldrivers, and Bill Withers as guiding influences. Leadville Cherokee’s sound is like if Conway Twitty and Frank Zappa had a love child, while Pantera sat back and got stoned.

Leadville Cherokee was formed in 2009 by guitarist Mark Nierneberger and Pete Albrect, adding Brian Carter on bass and Zack Kochetta on drums along the way. The band has been active in the high country of Colorado, typically playing whitewater festivals such as Royal Gorge Whitewater Festival, Paddlefest, and headlining FIBArk in 2021. The band has also headlined esteemed CO venues such as Buena Vista’s Lariat and Boulder’s Fox Theatre.

On April 19th, they return to Devil's Craft for a hard-hitting, season-celebrating, end-of-winter throwdown. Join us for our final Saturday night of live music this ski season. It's gonna get rowdy!
