Fort Collins' own Michael Kirkpatrick is the winner of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's 2014 Telluride Troubadour Contest, which is kind of a big deal. This prestigious award spotlights one talented individual from across the country who excels in songwriting, stage presence, and musicianship. The winner is awarded a spot on the main stage at the festival in addition to cash, prizes, and critical acclaim. Michael got to share the stage with Yonder Mountain String Band and Del McCoury and rumor has it that John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin was in the audience rocking out to Kirkpatrick's signature sound of mandolin madness. You can see Michael Kirkpatrick in action at this year's Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest when his band, The Holler! take over Library Park on Friday August 15th from 7:10-8 PM. Mark your calendar because this is a show you don't want to miss.
