The Band
Five guys.
Zero setlists.
High-energy, danceable, rock-based jam music from Castle Rock, Colorado, since the summer of 2018.
Knucklehorn works tirelessly to blend the eclectic musical prowess of its members into a high-energy, unforgettable experience for their fans. Jack Patnoi and Jeremy Scott dig deep grooves on bass and drums, Matt Kelley layers in percussion, and George Cottrell and Mike Fairbairn meld their guitar tones and melodic improvisations into a dance party you won’t soon forget.
Influences range from Grateful Dead and Phish to Johnny Cash, Talking Heads and James Brown. Knucklehorn can play your favorite covers, but the band really shines on inspiring original compositions, paying careful attention to every member’s contribution so each rendition is unique.
At a Knucklehorn show, our rabid, improv-hungry fans, affectionately known as Knuckleheads, dance to rock, funk, blues, bluegrass and some reggae. At the heart of it all, Knucklehorn can jam. Listening to and playing off each other’s ideas is the SOP for this band. Setlists are never the same, nor are the renditions of songs.
Bring your dancing shoes. Wear your party pants. Get ready to jam with Knucklehorn!
