Headline Act:

DR POZ AND FRIENDS

Evergreen local Paul Cohen, aka ‘Dr. Poz’, is no stranger to entertaining audiences. Studying clarinet and saxophone at an early age, he has developed into a talented musician who has graced innumerable local and national festivals and stages, as well as playing our venerated Red Rocks Amphitheater twice. Along his musical journey, Paul has performed with such legends as Peter Wolf from the J. Geils Band and John Oates of Hall & Oates fame.  Since his arrival in Colorado in 1995, Paul's easy-going personality and love of music have attracted a diverse group of talented musicians whom he is proud to call Friends. When these Friends join forces with Paul, an irresistible blend of rock, blues, funk, soul, R&B and Motown music is created.  As he likes to say, “if it feels good, we play it!”.  

20 years ago, Paul's love for the low end also led him to study the bass guitar.  Through the magic of looping technology, Paul uniquely combines these two instruments at the same time live, and he jokingly refers to his band as a '4-piece with a horn section'. If you love 'feel good' music, Dr. Poz & Friends is the perfect soundtrack to our charmed life in Evergreen. To add to the flavor of this first concert "Welcome Back Evergreen" Dr. Poz will be bringing on local Evergreen musicians to the stage to play for a song or two. Stay tuned as we will be introducing them soon.

Opening Act 2:

DANIELLE FALLER

Danielle moved to Colorado one year ago after graduating from SIUE with a degree in dance.  She loves to dance, perform, sing, write music, travel, be in nature, care for animals, and use art as a platform to help others.  The mountains, and the warm, inviting community-especially those at open mic nights, have made Colorado feel like home.  Having the opportunity to potentially impact peoples' lives with her music is one of the most special feelings to Danielle, and she hopes to continue sharing her music with the world.

Headline Act: 

RHETT HANEY

Rhett has been in the music scene around Denver for 20+ years. Starting off playing bass with Maggie Jack, Rhett quickly learned what was needed to be an effective musician on stage. During his next project, Tequila Mockingbird, which would last for 12 1/2 years, he fine-tuned his bass playing, started dabbling with backup singing, developed his stage performance, and studio recording/engineering/mastering techniques. During this time Rhett would periodically fill in with other local bands such as SPIV, Matt Need's Vagiant (The Tightest Band in the World), EBWA, and many others.

During his next musical phase Rhett decided it was time to actually buy a drum set instead of always fooling around on his current drummer's kit. This led to him striking out and eventually meeting Matt Buckstein with whom he would co-form Denver's own country band Buckstein. It was during these years that he developed his drumming skills, while still refining his singing abilities. Often times Rhett would fill in for other country bands as they would come through town appearing both at Toby Keith's and The Grizzly Rose among other venues around town. These bands included Texas's own Beaumont. As well as Against The Grain from California.

Currently the drummer/backup vocalist for The Walker Williams Band, Rhett has enjoyed many years of success while sharing the stage with many of the greats including Toby Keith. Rhett has finally been given the opportunity to take his musicianship on the road as much as possible. And he is absolutely having the time of his life!
