What began as an all-female festival collab quickly morphed into a serious passion project driven by sisterhood, harmony and humor……along with the shared desire to rage fiddle tunes and smash the patriarchy.
Big Richard is a neo-acoustic super group made up of four well established Colorado musicians: Bonnie Sims on mandolin (Bonnie & Taylor Sims/Everybody Loves An Outlaw/Bonnie & the Clydes), Joy Adams on cello (Nathaniel Rateliff/Darol Anger/Half Pelican), Emma Rose on bass + guitar (Sound of Honey/Daniel Rodriguez/Whippoorwill) and Eve Panning on fiddle (Lonesome Days).
Formed in late 2021, the band gained immediate notoriety for their charismatic stage presence and their vocal/instrumental prowess. After selling out all of their club shows Big Richard quickly started confirming festival appearances across America. 2022 is sure to be a big year!!
About Ten Cent Mule
STYLE:
Ten Cent Mule is a hard-driving four-piece bluegrass band from Missoula, MT. Their traditional sound covers the mountain melodies of Appalachia and beyond – rooted in flatpicking, fiddle tunes, and improvised Americana.
EXPERIENCE:
Each Mule has performed and toured in string bands in New Jersey, North Carolina, Colorado, Utah, and Pennsylvania.
MEMBERS:
Nathan Bolser – Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio Nathan Bolser found his love for bluegrass while attending college in Southwest Ohio. Since then he has honed his mandolin and singing chops in various bands, jams, and festivals along the Colorado Front Range. Nathan currently makes his home in Missoula and enjoys making music, skiing, and fly fishing.
Sally Thompson – From a long lineage of bluegrassers in Appalachia, Sally Joe carries on her family traditions through Bluegrass music. First a fiddle player, then mandolin, found her forever home with the five string. After college, Sally spread her wings from the homestead in northeast Pennsylvania and found herself in the big city of Missoula.
Tony Burchell – A stand-up bass player keeping the band on beat and the kids off the street. He’s an all-around nice time. Originally “just wanted to jam” with no intentions of joining the band. But when his Ten Cent Mule membership arrived in the mail, he said, “whelp, here we are.” Generally likes bluegrass.
Justin McHeffey – A metal head teen that turned to acoustic guitar in college owes his appreciation of bluegrass to Wilma and Top Hat shows while attending U of M. His songwriting style brings the harder days of the old west back to life – check out his solo album, “Letters from Hillfolk” for original tunes written and recorded in Missoula.
