American Heirlooms: Bear Hat

About

Musical Style: Acoustic, Bluegrass, Rock 'n' Roll, Gypsy/Swing, Folk Join us the first Wednesday of every month for a music series to celebrate two, once in a lifetime milestones; the 250th anniversary of American independence and the 150th anniversary of Colorado’s statehood. This series brings together powerful music that reflects our shared heritage, evolving identity, and promising artistic future as a state and as a nation. September celebrates the acoustic music community and the enduring traditions of storytelling through song. Rooted in folk, bluegrass, old-time, and Americana, acoustic music has long served as the soundtrack to gatherings, celebrations, and everyday life, connecting generations through shared experiences and timeless melodies. Colorado's mountain communities have served as a home for these traditions, where musicians continue to honor the past while pushing the genre in exciting new directions. Bear Hat is an eclectic acoustic ensemble hailing from the majestic mountain communities around Boulder, Colorado. Inspired by the rugged beauty of their surroundings, this group of talented musicians combines their diverse backgrounds and instrumentation to create a sound that is truly unique. Bear Hat weaves together original material and tasteful covers to create an exhilarating blend of Bluegrass, Old Time, Swing, Blues and Rock ’n’ Roll. Buckle Up - Bear Hat is Feeling Grizzly!
