Coal Town Reunion

Formed in Denver in 2014, Coal Town Reunion is driven by one simple idea: Write honest songs and play the hell out of them. CTR can be compared to Americana and Alt-Country bands such as a <a href="spotify:artist:2QoU3awHVdcHS8LrZEKvSM" data-name="Wilco">Wilco</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2UDplVRprMbazU74Hq8OLl" data-name="The Jayhawks">The Jayhawks</a> or <a href="spotify:artist:1rXr1ZnvbRoYBaedIl9v4v" data-name="Drive-By Truckers">Drive-By Truckers</a>; and the psychedelic indie-rock sounds of <a href="spotify:artist:0OdUWJ0sBjDrqHygGUXeCF" data-name="Band of Horses">Band of Horses</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:57kIMCLPgkzQlXjblX7XXP" data-name="Phosphorescent">Phosphorescent</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:43O3c6wewpzPKwVaGEEtBM" data-name="My Morning Jacket">My Morning Jacket</a>. Their upcoming 2019 EP: “The Stories We Tell” reflects the band’s evolving sound, rooted in Americana, but open to following wherever the songs lead, a journey full of experimentation and genre crossing explorations.


Coal Town Reunion features Alana Dym on percussion, James Dumm on lead guitar, John-Paul Maxfield on vocals and guitar, Jeff Montoya on Bass, and Sami Steidl on Violin.


&quot;Coal Town Reunion’s approachable Jayhawk’s-like delivery is so solid and their choruses so instantly catchy that they almost risk covering up the great depth and storytelling of their songs”

“It is not a mystery that roots/folk bands do well in Colorado, and there is always room for more. Having come to fruition in 2014, this band has plenty to give in the future and we at 303 are excited to hear it. Consisting of an acoustic and electric guitar, drums, fiddle and bass, the group gets their sound by piecing together their talents and smoothing it all out with lullaby-style lyrics yet a danceable tempo.”
