Float Like a Buffalo
$10 cover at the door.
Float Like a Buffalo is a Denver-based 6-piece, 9-instrument, high-energy Funk Rock band. Our style is rock with funk, ska, reggae, and jam influences. Nods to the funk of Lettuce and The Motet, jam of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, rock of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chicago Transit Authority, soul of James Brown, & high-energy guitar licks of Jimi Hendrix all combine to make a unique sound that’s impossible not to dance to.
The band, together since 2016, has become a regional funk/jam sensation over the past several years, playing sold out and near-sold-out shows at major Colorado and national venues like Red Rocks, Cervantes, The Bluebird Theater, Gothic Theatre, Levitt Pavilion, Summit Denver, The Lincoln Theatre (Cheyenne, WY), George’s Majestic Lounge (Fayetteville, AR), and Meteor (Windsor, ON) – and taking the crown for Best Funk Band in Denver in Westword’s 2019 Music Awards.
In early 2019, Float Like a Buffalo released their freshman full-length album, Back From Nowhere, at a near-sold-out release party at the historic Gothic Theatre. The band followed this rocket start to the year with shows at Red Rocks (Local Set), The Marquis Theater, Levitt Pavillion, and Westword Music Showcase. In the summer of 2019, Float Like a Buffalo made their debut on the Red Rocks Main Stage as an opener for Face Vocal Band. They also received the award for Best Funk Band from Denver Westword and were listed among the Top 30 Rock Bands in Denver by 303 Magazine. In August 2019, Float Like a Buffalo released their new single, Gone By Morning, and the Music Video to go with it, at a packed party at The Gothic Theatre.
Following that, they had the opportunity to play directly ahead of Sting at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience (sold out) and to open for Big Sam's Funky Nation and Dragon Smoke (feat. members of Galactic and Dumpstaphunk).
Float Like a Buffalo started 2020 off with a sold-out Single Release Party at Denver's historic Bluebird Theater and a big win at Summer Camp On the Road Tour Battle of the Bands, securing their spot at Summer Camp Music Festival later in 2021. The band worked hard during quarantine, and released a new single, Sunday Afternoon, which was 100% recorded, mixed and mastered by the band members in quarantine, the music video for the single, and a fan music video for their original song, Stay Alive. The Band also completed The Yard Ahead Tour, a live + live-stream hybrid concert experience sponsored by Breckenridge Brewery. In October 2020, Float Like a Buffalo sold out a 2-night run of socially distanced shows at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. Following that, the band also sold out two nights at The Soiled Dove Underground for their Vertigo EP Release Show.
In 2021, Float Like a Buffalo made strides into the national scene, entering the national festival circuit at Summer Camp Music Festival and touring the nation throughout the year, culminating in a 5-week tour through the midwest, Texas, and the South. The band steamed forward in 2022, appearing on festival lineups across the nation, opening for legendary bands such as WAR at The Lincoln Theater in Cheyenne, Wyoming, marking their largest out of state venue show to date, and touring across the entire United States to warm receptions in cities like Dallas, Bozeman, San Diego, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Lincoln and more.
In 2023, Float Like a Buffalo completed their first International tour in celebration of their sophomore full-length album, Day Late, Dollar Short, touring successfully across the midwestern United States, Canada, and New York. Summer 2023 brought a packed festival lineup for the band, who shared the stage with Lettuce, The Motet, Pepper, The Main Squeeze, Paul Cauthen, Sam Bush, Eminence Ensemble, Evanoff, LowDown Brass Band and many more.

Jackson Holte with opener The Lucky Valentines
$5 at the door.
Jackson Holte is a musician, writer, and mule packer. His first solo record, Sky Blues, will be released on October 17th. In 2025, he won the Wyoming Singer-Songwriter Competition and the Montana Quarterly’s Big Snowy Prize for creative non-fiction.
Sky Blues is cinematic folk music, a loosely autobiographical concept album about what Marilynne Robinson called "the attentive quiet at the center of Western life" and Tom Edwards called "the hush of the land." The twelve collected songs are alluring, unadorned, patient, spacious, rarely sympathetic, devotional.
“I love the contemporary songwriters doing this kind of thing like Gregory Alan Isakov and Jeffrey Foucault, but Sky Blues is just as much influenced by prose authors like Mark Spragg, Gretel Ehrlich, and Ivan Doig,” Holte says. “The record is decidedly Western, but we really worked to keep it subtle and grounded. Singing these songs feels good. They’ve got the breath of the land and space for me to move around in them.”
“Jackson Holte writes spare, laconic, sky-wide songs.” – Jeffrey Foucault
“Jackson Holte is one of us, one of the good ones.” – Pete Fromm
“Daunting, but also somehow cleansing. Music worthy of the wide landscape it’s painted on.” – Tom Catmull
“Sky Blues is a collection of heartfelt writing that listens like a true lived experience. Holte’s style is a nod to Lyle Lovett but with a voice all his own.” – Christy Hays
The Lucky Valentines
cupid outdid himself.
“There’s a ‘rightness’ to them… Like they’re in each others’ heads”
These two have been making music together since the moment they met in 2009.
Their newest album, Losses, releases April 21, 2023. Losses is their most personal record yet- full of real life grief, observation on the connectivity of all things, and the hope that comes through trials of fire. It was recorded in one Heavenly, creative week at Dreamland Studio in Kingston NY. Each tune was tracked live, and then more magic was added on top. Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, The National, Anais Mitchell, Josh Ritter) produced this album and gave each song such tender loving care that your ears will be enthralled from the first note.
TLV have written upward of eighty songs, and use a mix of folk melodic sensibilities, tight harmonies, and a whole lotta love to make sad things beautiful. Their sound could be bottled up as “Bruce Springsteen and Patty Griffin meet Shovels and Rope in a Gypsy Junkshop”. He sometimes uses a thirdhand suitcase as a kick drum, and the rotary phone from her father’s shop as a mic. She blends classical violin with raging folk passion. He channels John Prine and Hank Williams. They have played hundreds of live shows together and have been featured on MTPR’s Musician Spotlight, at Austin’s Iconic Hole in the Wall Cafe, the street dance and side stage of Red Ants Pants Music Festival, and were featured on the May 2022 episode of MTPBS’s award winning 11th and Grant with Erik Funk.
TLV blends homespun DIY folk and country sounds with fresh sonic energy; infused with cold heartache, electric wonder, razor sadness and fiery Joy, their music is made to be played on repeat.
Shaun and Jamie have four beautiful children together and find joy in gardening, performing, writing, homeschooling, and reading Lord of the Rings to their aspiring Justice Warriors. Their dream is to travel the world sharing music, and come home to a little farm with horses to ride, and goats to mow the lawn. For now, they live in a sweet little city, ride in a big ol’ van, and the kids do the lawn mowing.
