Bio: Bonerama: Unlike any other rock ‘n' roll, funk or brass band, Bonerama brings a unique spin to vintage New Orleans funk and hits on all four cylinders in the brass section. Not quite the traditional brass band (there are no trumpets or saxes), the four-trombone frontline blows audiences away with improvised, vintage funk and classic rock riffs. Rolling Stone magazine praised their "...crushing ensemble riffing, human-feedback shrieks and wah-wah growls" (2007). In a testament to how Bonerama carries the brass band concept into uncharted territory, the band also won acclaim at the Big Easy Awards for "Best Rock Band." For more information, visit www.bonerama.net Bio: The Outlaws: Following in the footsteps of such great bands as The Allman Brothers and The Eagles, The Outlaws have developed their own high-powered, guitar-driven, country-rock sound with hints of blues and boogie. With exhilarating self-penned music and stellar three-part harmony, The Outlaws have firmly established themselves in the Southern Rock genre with popular songs such as "Hurry Sundown," "Green Grass & High Tides," and "There Goes Another Love Song." From riveting hard rock to lilting country ballads, the Outlaws promise a night harkening back to stomping hell-raising hoedowns. For details, visit www.outlawsmusic.comAbout Free Music in Snowmass
