Book Knucklehorn
Three hours.
No setlist.
Knucklehorn is a five-piece rock and jam band out of Castle Rock, Colorado, together since 2018. We play venues, breweries and taprooms, weddings, private parties, festivals, community events and mountain resorts — and the vast majority of our shows run three hours or more. That is the format we are built for, not something we stretch to cover.

Tell us the date, the room and roughly how long you want us on — we will come back with a number.
What you get
- Five on stage, two crew. Guitar, guitar, bass, drums, percussion — four of us sing.
- Three-hour nights as standard, in two or three sets, however you want them broken up. Shorter festival sets of 45 to 60 minutes are no problem.
- Our own PA and lights if you need them, or we will happily use your system if the room is already set up.
- Originals and covers. We have a deep catalogue and can lean whichever way the room wants — including a full Grateful Dead set if that is the night you are after.
- Rock, funk, blues, bluegrass and a little reggae. Influences run from the Dead and Phish to Johnny Cash, Talking Heads and James Brown.
The practical bits
- Travel. Anywhere within about 60 miles of Castle Rock without lodging. Further afield is fine too — mountain towns included — if lodging is part of the deal.
- Load-in. Give us about an hour before doors. We are quiet, we are tidy, and we do not need much room.
- Volume. We can play a patio at conversation level or fill a room. Tell us which you need.
- Private events. Weddings and parties are welcome — we will learn a first-dance song if you ask.
- Invoicing. We are a Colorado LLC and can invoice properly, with a W-9 if your venue needs one on file.
For your sound engineer
Stage plot & input list
Everything your engineer needs on one page: a plan view of the stage, a numbered input list, monitor mixes, power drops and what we bring versus what we need from you. Send it straight on to whoever is running sound.
- 14 inputs — or 13 if you only have a mono overhead.
- 2 monitor mixes, both wedges, downstage at guitar and bass.
- 4 power drops along the front line. Drums need none.
- We bring the backline — amps, cabs, pedalboards, drum pad, congas and bongos, and the six-piece kit.
- You bring mics, stands, DIs, cables and wedges.
