There are many people that contribute to “Keeping The Music Playing” at this year’s Art Festival!

Thanks to the City of Manitou Springs we were able to partner with the Manitou Art Center and received a MACH grant to once again have music at this year's art festival.

A heartfelt thanks goes to this year's Entertainment Coordinator, Kiera Lynn, who has rounded up some incredible local musicians to fill the stage with great music at the 48th Annual Commonwheel Art Festival.

High Mountain Duet
@highmountainduet
www.facebook.com/highmountainduet
High Mountain Duet is a heartfelt acoustic husband/wife duo featuring James and Samantha Galloway from Manitou Springs Colorado, known for playing original, traditional, and contemporary Americana with an upbeat “folkgrass” approach. Often accompanied by Jon Murphy on upright bass, James and Samantha take influence from classic duets such as Johnny Cash and June Carter to modern duets like Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Joe Johnson
Since 2004 Joe has called the westside of Colorado Springs home, spending his first seven years fronting the rock and roll band "Creating a Newsense", in the process building an avid cult fanbase while releasing four albums and playing hundreds of shows on the road and close to home while helping to establish the foundation of what is now a burgeoning Colorado Springs music community.
By far his most personal and intimate work, “Dark Horse Pale Rider” has garnered great excitement by fans old and new and features nine songs that delve deeply into the feelings of loneliness and despair that defined too many lives over the preceding months. You can see Joe perform his vast catalogue of diverse material in solo performances as well as shows featuring one of his two regular bands, the roots themed Country Store Band and rock and roll centric ensemble The Wildfire. He also occasionally performs with old pals Creating a Newsense as well as their offshoot project Saint Dewey’s Good Time Revival.
Outside of his own endeavors, Joe’s electric guitar work with Grant Sabin & The Juke Joint Highball can be heard on the album "Bourbon & Milk", which the group released in 2017, as well as in live performances by the band. Joe has a genuine dedication to his family and community and a real connection to his fans the world over.

Roma Ransom
@romaransommusic
www.facebook.com/romaransommusic
Great music should do three things- connect you to the past, inspire you to envision the future, and find you wholly in the present moment. Roma Ransom does all three. Their repertoire includes old-time traditional ballads like Shady Grove and St.James Infirmary as well as sounds from European cultures, mainly that of Romania (hence the duo's name) yet the music of Roma Ransom is distinctly their own. The sultry sweetness of Grace Easley on vocals paired with the couples' vast instrumental array combine to form a style that can fit the mood for any setting. The couple was trained classically from an early age, (Grace on violin/viola, Gordon on guitar) making them an excellent choice for weddings and banquets in addition to their usual venues, namely restaurants, coffee shops and pubs.


Music arranged by Kiera Lynn.
