Michelle Mandico Vinyl Release & Gingerbomb

Join us for Michelle Mandico’s official Vinyl Release Show at Stargazers Theatre!

Colorado Springs native Michelle Mandico traded in snowy slopes for warm sounds of Nashville, TN in 2015 to deepen her career as a writer and musician.

Her latest album, Ptarmigan (executively produced by Luther Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars), premiered on American Songwriter, Wide Open Country, Folk Radio UK, WMOT Roots Radio and aired on Nashville’s Lightning 100.

Michelle’s first live performances were in Colorado Springs’ Fine Art Center, Pikes Peak Theater, and in church choirs.

As a Rampart High School graduate, she played in band and sang in musical theatre, until moving to attend the University of Denver for college and graduate school.

Her onstage charisma blossomed in Denver’s live music scene, and she has since headlined notable venues including Los Angeles’ Hotel Cafe and Nashville’s City Winery.

Her songs have been featured on Spotify playlist Nashville Indie Spotlight, Amazon’s Fresh Folk and Americana playlist, iTunes’ A-list: Singer/Songwriter list, and aired on Bravo’s Imposters (TV show).

The world’s first all-ginger band finally takes center stage.

From the boroughs Of New York City, to the shores of Los Angeles, gingers are often seen as a scarce commodity. However, against all odds, seasoned musicians Megan Burtt, Sara Dee, Zach Berkman, Casey Sidwell, and Ryan Vaughn miraculously united to form the world’s first all ginger based supergroup – Gingerbomb.

In December of 2017, five red-headed strangers assembled in a small house in Van Nuys, California for a week-long recording intensive, of which inevitably led to what the world now knows as Gingerbomb.

In early 2017, Denver native, Megan Burtt asked fellow red-headed songwriters, Zach Berkman (NYC) and Sara Dee (LA), to contribute to a top secret new project.

After a few months of song crafting and creative development, the trio of songwriters recruited a top shelf rhythm section- bassist Casey Sidwell (Denver) and drummer/percussionist Ryan Vaughn (LA/NYC). The rest, as they say, is history.

Wildfire is the lead single from Gingerbomb’s forthcoming debut record.

According to Burtt, “the song represents female empowerment- celebrating someone who walks her own walk and is confident in who she is, and who everyone wishes they could have a little piece of.”
