Crazy Mountain Billies is the alias used by multi-instrumentalist musician and vocalist Andy "Banjo" Bormes . His musical style can be described as psychedelic mountain bluegrass music. Originally formed in the Rocky Mountains in 2009, the alias "Crazy Mountain Billies" was used by the musician in the studio while multi-track recording a full ensembles worth of instruments together to get the sound of a full string-band. "Banjo" Andy has drifted up and down the Rockies writing songs about the mountain lifestyle over the years, and has now taken on the Pacific Northwest in pursuit of new adventures. The artist currently tours all over the Western U.S. performing at festivals and venues on a regular basis.

- American Roots UK

Eric Leadbetter, of Jive Coulis, is set to play an array of classic rock, Americana, folk and blues.  His solo music is very unique and original, with ghostly echoes of the golden age of rock from the 60s-70s.

I have creatively explored music very deeply in my life, and I see no end in the amount of musical wisdom to be gained and understood. It is a real treat for me to be able to share my musical expression with people that are open and willing.”

The simplicity makes way for thoughtful and heart tugging lyrics about life, death, love and the meaning of it all. In August of 2018 he released "Look", a 4 song EP dedicated to all four of the previously mentioned topics.
