Blind Alley Troubadours are bringing the tunes tonight at our Flatiron Park tap room, don’t miss it!

About the Band:

Blind Alley Troubadours are a Fort Collins, CO band that likes to keep our audience guessing. Our music integrates various styles including Folk, Americana, Rock, Blues, Irish, Country, and Awesomeness.  We’ve been described as everything from alt-country to mountain rock to gypsy rock.  Genres aside, we play whatever we feel will get you groovin’ and refuse to be pigeon-holed.

Front man John-Erik Priegel starts it off with his impressive songwriting and a smooth melodic finger picking style to go with his gritty yet peaceful voice. He and his brother, lead guitarist Gideon Priegel, who comes in with background compliments but will also rip your face off with a solo, were looking for a new sound after their previous band, 2 Star Motel, disbanded.  The Classically trained violinist Karmen Mitchell was soon to join, and evolved her playing style into something that will take you over and then leave you in awe.  Next came bassman Kyle Shelp, who after many years of gardening, brings some sick beets along with backup vocals.  The newest addition to the band is drummer David Rothenberg, with his tasteful style and classy fills that make you think of riding 2 feet of powder while roastin’ a bone. Together they form the unique sound of the Blind Alley Troubadours. A sound that quite frankly is hard to describe, but one that will get your boots kickin’.
