On Friday, Feb. 24 The Coloradas will perform at Guthries, 115 Middle St., Lewiston. The Coloradas formed in 2011 as two songwriters and a handful of virtuosic bluegrass musicians, trying to create something meaningful. The result was their self-titled debut, a collection of end-of-the-world bluegrass stomps and sad country ballads. The songs are written and earnestly delivered, re-interpreted as folk music, complete with finger-picked guitars, claw-hammer banjo, and soulful mandolin. Roy Davis (songs, vocals, acoustic guitars) currently splits his time between Maine and his home away from home on the Bodensee in Austria. For the Coloradas he wears the hat of audio engineer, manager, graphic designer, documentarian and motorhome mechanic. He also travels as a solo performer. Bernie Nye — songs, vocals, banjo, acoustic guitar, harmonica — lives in Maine with his lady and their cat Dinah. When not performing with The Coloradas, he works on a farm. The performance begins at 8 p.m. and there is no cover. FMI: call 376-3344.
