Live Music: Broke Down Shack (Lee Hill)

Come get down with Broke Down Shack this Friday at Lee Hill!

Artist Bio:

All three of Broke Down Shacks members met in the far reaches of upstate NY near Canada while attending college. Ever since the three met they’ve been creating new tunes and rediscovering old ones. Now they live in beautiful Golden, CO and they bring with them all of their experiences to add to the taste of their sound. B.D.S. is always looking for opportunities to play the music they love.

Steven Lilly grew up in the lower Hudson Valley of New York in a community engrained with music. Growing up he played the trumpet and classical guitar. But with the Appalachian mountains all around and having local influences like Pete Seeger it is no surprise he began to pick in a band like Broke Down Shack.

Jordan Smith was raised in the Southern Tier of upstate NY in the town Corning(glass mecca). He was surrounded by great glass art and music while growing up and has spent a lot of time hanging around Ithaca, NY before heading to school to meet the other band members and start writing tunes. He has since moved to Colorado to get new inspiration and meet new people. Some of his musical influences include David Grisman, Edgar Myer, Old and in the Way,Yonder Mountain String Band, and Taj Mahal just to name a few. Jordan started on the electric bass but has since been playing the standup.

Jon Stewart hails from Saratoga Springs, NY and has been able to take advantage of numerous concerts at the famous S.P.A.C. venue. While growing up he become inspired to write his own music. Its safe to say that one of his number one influences is the great Jerry Garcia. Other influences include Tony Rice, and The Grateful Dead for just a few examples. He’s starting a career as a luthier building stringed instruments and perfecting his sound.

All three musicians have been playing music with each other for about 4 years combined throughout different bands.
