One of the best parts about living in Boulder is the local music scene and all of the new bands that are constantly emerging out of our town. For this edition of Faces of Boulder we will feature a brand new band. The band is currently deciding what the permanent name will be, so make sure to keep on eye on them.

They are a five piece band that features bass, guitar, drum set, percussion, and vocals. What is so cool about them is that each member comes from a very different background of music giving them a unique style of music. Their different backgrounds in music allow their jams to go in really any direction. There music blends funky blues with psychedelic rock giving the crowd a variety of music to hear. The members of this band are Kenny Karsten(bass), Shane Crosland(percussion), Jake Zimmerman(guitar),  Ashley Wilfire(vocals), and Kyle Monks(drums).

They just had a show on the hill at Spark Boulder that was presented by Row Cypher Colorado. This concert was called You Matter and presented a series of local bands, Dj’s, dancers, and performance artists. They got down and killed it in the midst of a snowy night.
