Sunday, December 15, 2024: Michael Kirkpatrick
Michael Kirkpatrick, a Rocky Mountain-based vocalist and songwriter, blends elements of acoustic fingerstyle and folk rock to cradle lush songscapes in a fuzzy paradoxical blanket of sunshine and fog. Obsessed by mandolin, guitar, and groomed by bluegrass festival culture, Michael has carved a unique presence in the Colorado singer-songwriter, string band, and rock scene. With a voice that ranges from a quiet rumble to a powerful mountain-top exclamation, Michael’s passionate vocals bring to life lyrics about dreams, sensuality, and reverence for nature. Don’t miss this captivating performance at the Armory starting at 7:00 PM.
