Northern Flight: A Bluebird Music Festival Event

From the creators of the Bluebird Music Festival comes Northern Flight! Please join us for a magical weekend of some folkin’ great music. VIP weekend passes, including early entry and a VIP kickoff party, available at www.bluebirdmusicfestival.org.

Langhorne Slim – Langhorne Slim, a beloved and acclaimed American singer, songwriter and performer. Over the last 2 decades he has merged a stew of styles to create a sound that is unique, powerful and raw. From campfires to dive bars, and theatres to arenas, Slim brings an intimacy and edge through his innate ability to connect with his audiences. Though he’s been at this for the better part of his days, it somehow feels like he’s just getting started.

Nathaniel Riley – Nathaniel Riley, a folk singer/songwriter from South Dakota, put in his time working the small family farm and recording melancholic melodies in his basement. Treading with years of grief that constructed a cloud full of songs that Nathaniel lugged to Colorado began the process of his debut full length album, “Bird Songs”

Nathaniel’s songscapes lean on your heartstrings, unpacking melodies like a nostalgic lucid dream. Acoustically driven, wistful lyricism and ambient instrumentation provide the bedrock for his contemporary folktales. Compiling miles of desolation, heartache, introspection and memories of the forest and the prairie’s whistle that convey him to persist. Empowering his songs their role, to be a beacon on the hill.

Downey Chase – Downey Chase, a name that might evoke visions of a hero from some weathered cowboy novel, is the newest project of Nic Lussier (known by some as co-founder/member of indie-rock group The Brazen Youth). Downey Chase is part alter-ego, part romanticized musings, & part unfiltered authenticity. For Lussier, it’s a foray into uncharted territory & a venture of self-reliance.

With his debut single, “I Spin”, Downey Chase hopes to convey images of nature & the movement of life through introspective storytelling.

Currently residing in Boulder, CO, Nic finds solace in the melodic wisdom of folk icons like Bob Dylan, Adrianne Lenker, and Gregory Alan Isakov.
