July 27:  All Those Who Wander
​

All Those Who Wander is a folk music project by Colorado songwriter and vocalist/guitarist Nick Booker, in collaboration with Anthony Vick on fiddle and Forrest Alvarez on mandolin and vocals. His work is characterized by his own vivid small town storytelling as well as the unique retelling of stories both ancient and modern.  From fast and furious Bluegrass to old world Celtic, and of course, original songs that are the product of both, All Those Who Wander is both a realization and a revival of the folk tradition. The project walks in the footsteps of great and varied folk artists such as Stan Rogers and Old Crow Medicine Show while paving the way with new stories and new ways of telling them.
