The Storys – Bill Duryea & Nancy Norman
Bill and Nancy entertain people of all ages with guitar and voice harmonies. Their blend of styles brings a lively and full sound to some favorite classic rock, soft country, American folk, Bill’s originals and some sweet old tunes – with little bits of song history in between.
The Storys, a Colorado Springs-based duo, began in August 2002 and since have played a variety of venues including private functions, art openings, cafes, festivals and the streets of Manitou and Colorado Springs. They have recently completed tours of the Northwest and Southwest.

Acme Bluegrass is a Colorado Springs based band that loves to perform high energy, hard driving acoustic entertainment. With local icon, John Ramsey on banjo, transplanted native Les Irvin on mandolin, and New Mexico transplants Sebie and Tracy Denson on bass and guitar, this four piece sings and plays with the spirit of true hillbillies.
The band plays a music mix of traditional and contemporary bluegrass with some diversity from artists like Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan and, of course, the king – Elvis. We have also added some new songs from such bluegrass greats as The Monkees and well…that should at least get your curiosity peaked and get you to stop by sometime and see what you have been missing!

The Mitguards bring a unique and non-traditional perspective to folk music. Roots-based Americana takes on a new Southwestern air.
The Mitguards’ musical style, a hybrid of American roots music that includes folk, country and swing, makes their sound powerful and distinct. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the core of the band consists of Chris Mitguard on acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and vocals and Deb Mitguard on mandolin, accordion and vocals. Their original songs, framed by unique musical arrangements, weave a mixture of humor and tragedy through the stories they tell.
