Sweet Jessup and The Dirty Buckets
October 23rd
Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets Are Coming to KAFM!
Colorado’s Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets are celebrating their new album, Bottle of Fools, and they’re bringing their one-of-a-kind blend of blues, Americana, swing and roots music to the KAFM Radio Room on October 23!
Quirky, soulful and impossible to put in a box, Sweet Jessup is exactly the kind of independent music we love at KAFM.
Hear Bottle of Fools on KAFM — then come experience Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets live in the Radio Room!
Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets have one trashy jam sound. Literally, the percussionist plays old used buckets and thrift store treasures. Bluesy, groovy, folksy, clanky, and dancy, Sweet Jessup draws inspiration from American root blues, folk, and ragtime traditions. We play all original songs that are catchy, fun, and upbeat. Come out to dance with us!

KAFM Invites you to Celebrate the enduring spirit of the American West at the Western Slope Cowboy Gathering, a two-day celebration of authentic cowboy poetry, music, storytelling, and western heritage.
The gathering opens Friday, November 6, with award-winning singer, songwriter, and fourth-generation Texas Panhandle rancher Dale Burson. A master of guitar, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, Burson has entertained audiences at cowboy gatherings across the country for more than three decades. His heartfelt songs, recorded by artists including Red Steagall, honor the timeless western values of honesty, integrity, faith, hard work, and the ranching way of life.
On Saturday, November 7, acclaimed cowboy singer-songwriter Ryan Fritz takes the stage. A working rancher whose music is deeply rooted in real-life cowboy experiences, Fritz draws inspiration from the landscapes, people, and traditions of the West. Winner of the 2017 Wrangler Heritage Award for his song Keeper of the West, Ryan has released ten albums filled with vivid stories of ranch life, family, and the enduring cowboy spirit.
Throughout the weekend, audiences will enjoy performances by talented cowboy poets and western musicians from across the region, sharing stories, songs, humor, and traditions that preserve the rich heritage of the American West.
