I had the pleasure of watching the Fort Collins band Von Stomper Wednesday night as part of the CSU Lagoon Concert Series. What a treat.  I was thoroughly entertained by their high-intensity show. Bring a banjo, a stand-up bass and a harmonica on stage and you got me. A band member describes their performances as "“Chaotic, kinesthetic, pure, raw and a whole lot of energy”. I would agree wholeheartedly.

Marquee Magazine said about the band:

Inspired by the lonely, the downtrodden, and the insane-- the voices of Von Stomper, a Colorado based five piece, reach into the expansive lexicon of American roots music and make it howl. Their high energy live show has left boots tattered and dance floors torn time and time again.

Here are a few chances to see Von Stomper locally this summer:
