Tonight’s Headlining Band
Big Richard
Since exploding onto the Colorado scene in 2021, the four women of the supergroup Big Richard have been on a wild ride. Armed with homemade puff paint t-shirts, a load of crass jokes, and dressed intentionally like Stevie Nicks, their tight vocal harmonies, dazzling string virtuosity, and clever arrangements made them an instant force in the bluegrass world. From their first gig, they quickly proved they were much more than a novelty act.

With a steady diet of gas station snacks, Big Richard has toured nationwide, gaining fans across the country for their honest songwriting, chilling vocals, and fiddle-driven barn-burners. Currently touring their debut full-length studio album Girl Dinner, their whirlwind year has included performances on PBS’ The Cavern Sessions, NPR’s World Cafe, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Delfest, Bourbon and Beyond, Jam Cruise, and New Year’s Eve at the Ryman in Nashville. Known as the “gremlins of the bluegrass world,” their members include Bonnie Sims (platinum recording artist and mandolin virtuoso), Eve Panning (road dog and fiddle powerhouse), Hazel Royer (bass and crow communicator), and Dr. Joy Adams (skiing enthusiast).
