Denver newcomers Churchill impressed the Meadowlark crowd with their first official performance last week.  The show started as a duo, with Tim Bruns on acoustic and Mike Morter on mandolin.  Later in the set, Bethany Kelly shared the vocal duties and Amy Moyer completed the ensemble with a cello.  One listener likened their sound to acoustic Counting Crows.   While I suppose the comparison is accurate, Churchill is rooted much deeper in bluegrass and country territory.

Mike Marchant just won’t relent on the songwriting process.  Less than two month after his solo EP release, the setlists are comprised mostly of new material!  This is a fun basement performance featuring Maria Kohler on accompanying vocals.
