Lannie Garrett Presents:
The Poudre Valley Playboys
Poudre Valley Playboys, are a duo made up of guitar phenomenon, Josh Long (vocals) and upright bass virtuoso, Mark Verschoor. Both are stellar, charismatic entertainers.
Their concert is high-octane classic country-rockabilly-surf music that gets any crowd jumping and hollering within the first few bars.
The Playboys will dig deep into the archives to pull out some nostalgic gems from yesteryear in addition to cult classics from the rockabilly, country, and surf music scenes.
A typical mixing-it-up medley they’ll do is “Ghost Riders in the Sky” mixed with “El Cumbanchero.” Old School memories will abound….
With Mark Verschoor’s powerhouse bass licks and Josh Long’s riveting electric guitar riffs and vocals, this duo sounds like a full band…on fire.
The Playboys recently opened shows for renown country music legend, Marty Stuart and for Grammy nominated (best country album) singer/songwriter,
Charley Crockett at Denver’s Mission Ballroom for over 4000 people.
Don’t miss this one-of-kind show…they are coming to our town for one night only! You won’t be able to sit still…These guys know how to throw a party!

Jack Hadley Blues and Soul. Presented by Lannie Garrett.
2026-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | La Veta Mercantile, 300 S. Main Street, La Veta, 81055
Jack Hadley was born in the Philippines into a military family. When they returned to America, they were stationed in San Francisco where he spent his childhood in the Haight-Ashbury district. Jack’s mother bought him an acoustic guitar at an early age to keep him busy. The family eventually moved to Denver, Colorado, where he learned to play music by ear, playing everything from Hendrix to Dylan, unaware that he was learning the foundation of American music – the Blues.
Jack played in a number of bands, sharpening his guitar skills and discovering his vocal talent along the way. He began performing as a solo artist and played countless shows as a hired gun. In 2005, Jack decided to focus on writing and performing his own blues-based material with his trio, The Jack Hadley Band. That same year he was playing at a local club when he was approached by blues veteran Otis Taylor, who happened to be in the audience. For the next 18 months, Jack was Taylor’s lead guitarist, playing festivals and shows all over the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Haight Ashbury…” – Bob Lohr, Producer, San Telmo Media
Winner of the 2017 Colorado Blues Challenge, Solo/Duo category. Represented the Colorado Blues
