JAKE LEG FUNDRAISING CONCERT AT THE BOATHOUSE

An intimate evening of high-energy roots music with Jake Leg at The Boathouse along the Yampa River, featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and exclusive up-close access to the band in support of Strings Music Festival’s programs across the Yampa Valley. Rooted in tradition but with a fierce commitment to innovation, Jake Leg forges their own path through the world of acoustic music. Consisting of award-winning musicians Eric Wiggs on guitar and vocals, Dylan McCarthy on mandolin and vocals, Justin Hoffenberg on fiddle, and Aaron Hoffenberg on bass, Jake Leg breathes new life into modern progressive bluegrass, crafting a captivating landscape of high-level instrumental ability and thoughtful songwriting. Since forming in 2021, the band has quickly garnered national attention. They were nominated for 2024 IBMA Momentum Band of the Year shortly after the release of their all-original, debut album Fire on the Prairie, and have been named one of “10 of the Top Colorado Bluegrass Bands” by Denver Westword for the last two years running. With steadily growing momentum and the June 2026 release of their sophomore album, Jake Leg has shown themselves to be a compelling voice in the ever-expanding world of bluegrass. Dylan McCarthy is a former Strings School Days mentor. This very special event is a fundraiser to support Strings’ free programs in the Yampa Valley, including Strings School Days.
