Recognized as one of the most successful folk rock duos of the 70's, Brewer & Shipley have remained true to their original form throughout 3 decades.
Although best known for their Top 10 signature song, "One Toke Over The Line" which permanently etched their names in rock history by becoming an anthem of the 70's counter culture, Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley were by no means a one-trick pony. In all, the duo landed 3 singles on the Billboard charts and had the pleasure of working with such notables as Mike Bloomfield, Leon Russell, Jimmy Messina, and the late Jerry Garcia.
Brewer & Shipley continue to tour and record regularly, having released 2 albums since reuniting -"Shanghai" (1993) and "Heartland" (1997).
Regarding Brewer & Shipley, Ron Sylvester (The Branson Note) wrote, "An actual group from the 70's still capable of making vital music in the 90's...For a duo best remembered as 70's folkies, this is a solid blast into the present...undeniable proof these guys can still make evocative music".
Opening are very special guests The Mitguards. The Mitguards’ musical style, a hybrid of American roots music that includes folk, country and swing, makes their sound powerful and distinct. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the core of the band consists of Chris Mitguard on acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals; Deb Mitguard on mandolin, accordion and vocals; and Brian Hofflander on upright bass. Their original songs, framed by unique musical arrangements, weave a mixture of humor and tragedy through the stories they tell.
