August 8: — Rob Drabkin (opener: Matt Rouch & The Noise Upstairs)-
The music of Rob Drabkin is spirited in nature, light from the heart, and rocking on the six-string acoustic. His 70’s fro is as recognizable as his ubiquitous grin, but it’s his music that has landed Rob national tours and sets at some of music’s most iconic venues.
From the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in his hometown of Denver, to tours in Doha, Qatar in the Middle East, to opening for acts like Dispatch, John Butler Trio, Trevor Hall, and The Wood Brothers, Rob’s musicality has taken him and his guitar across the world.
Opener: Matt Rouch & The Noise Upstairs (Folk-Country)
