Happy Holidays

The Kabaret is taking a two week break from live music, but we'll feature some choice picks from the archives on Dec 24th and Dec 31. We resume with live music on Jan. 7 with Denver's American Relay.

Also be sure to check out Earbud - KGNU's new music newsletter featuring interviews, live performances, and other musical treats.

Dean Station

With rich two-part harmonies, introspective writing, and musical accompaniment ranging from acoustic guitar to the spoons, Dean Station creates a progressive acoustic style that draws heavily on folk, roots, and bluegrass to make a distinct sound that is rooted in tradition, yet contemporary.
