Headliner - May Be Fern
Hannah Mah (Keys and Guitar) and Kate Fern (Bass) were brought up in the Evergreen, CO music Community. Their shared connections saw potential in the duo, and a spark was ignited.
After establishing themselves as a force in the local music scene, they took the next step in May Be Fern’s evolution and brought on Madi Spillman (lead guitar) and Carleen Jeffers (drums). The foursome became quickly aligned with a shared vision: to create a unique sound that transcends genre and expectation.
The band’s style is a passionate and cohesive collaboration of each individual member’s diverse musical background, producing a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts. May Be Fern welcomes you to join us as we share our love with the world.

He is the leader of that crew and his dance style varies from hip-hop to Chicago footwork. There is no choreography. He thinks and dances on the spot.
