Bio

A musical collective...

performing American roots music.

The Sagebrush Bohemians are Denver-based recording artists playing original blues, country, folk and roots music. Our latest album, My Blue Shadow, features nine tracks, including eight originals and one cover song. A few tracks are featured on this site as well as on most digital platforms. 

The Sagebrush Bohemians founder and songwriter, Carson, sings and plays 6- and 12-string acoustic, electric, and slide guitars. He writes his own material and covers iconic songs from Lonnie Johnson to Hank Williams to blues artists of the 1950s and early '60s.

On this album, Carson relied on a Martin D-35, a Fender Telecaster, a 1964 Gretsch 6120 and a Fender Princeton Reverb amp. 

This trip through heart and mind developed over travels through California, Oregon, Montana, Utah and, of course, home sweet Colorado. We brought in the usual suspects to make it happen. The players are among Colorado's top performance and studio talent. Gratitude and appreciation for the players who made it happen: 

Bob Pellegrino  electric, slide guitars
Nic Clark  harmonica
Stef Kull  piano, organ, solo vocals
Chadzilla Johnson  drums
Damon Wood  electric guitar 
Gary Sloan  upright acoustic bass
Brian Hunter  electric bass
Olivia Shaw  violin
