Bluegrouse is a harmony-vocal heavy bluegrass/folk band based in Durango CO. Bluegrouse. Hmm. Is it a bird? A plane? A spelling error? A band?

Let’s say a combination of all three. These peeps have been playing music in various Durango area bands throughout the years. But just like birds of a feather, band buddies eventually find each other. Since 2015, Bluegrouse has been delivering their spirited, high energy musicianship and outstanding vocal harmonies to audiences and riverbanks of all ages. Combining bluegrass favorites, folk, country and swing, they offer something for everyone to enjoy. These folks know how to have fun both on and off stage. So tap your feet, sing along, or get up and dance - Bluegrouse invites you to be part of their musical journey. Carol Calkin, fiddle/vocals; Jonti Fox, bass/vocals; Laurie Swisher, guitar/vocals;
Glenn Tinnin, dobro/vocals, and Jester Wilton, mandolin/vocals.

3 GOOD REASONS TO COME SEE BLUEGROUSE AT DURANGO HOT SPRINGS ON TUES AUG 11……

1. It’s been hotter than a Billy goat in a pepper patch! The hot pools at DHS will make the relative temperature of the air around you feel so nice and cool! ❄️
B. It’s been a long summer and you need a break. Come and treat yourself to a soak and some live music before school starts and life gets crazy.
3. It’s our last show for a couple of months. After Tuesday night, these birds will be flying out into remote corners of the world. We’ll miss you, and it would be so great to see you all before we go. 🎻😎🎵❤️
Tuesday, August 11, 6 - 9 DURANGO HOT SPRINGS!!!!
