Elephant Revival is a five-piece experimental folk band from Nederland. Having played with performers such as George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and Yonder Mountain String Band, they are also no stranger to performing fundraising events. In 2011, Elephant Revival performed to support Telluride鈥檚 KOTO Community Radio and also in support of the Washington State Parks system.
Cold River City has been turning heads in the Boulder/Denver scene in just a year, performing all over town in various bars and venues - most notably, the Fox Theater and Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom. Their popularity has given them a strong following and they ended up placing third in CU鈥檚 2012 Battle of the Bands behind Cascade Kinzie, who is playing their first show on campus since the win.
Allen Gula, co-founder of Global Brigades Ghana who now resides in eastern Panama, also will speak during the concert.听
