Funky Business is a fiery, energetic band based in Northern Colorado. From Aretha Franklin to Bruno Mars, their variety of classic funk, spirited soul, and contemporary pop covers will have you dancing, tapping, and singing along. They have played numerous festivals, weddings, and private parties, providing the fuel to energize crowds. We’re excited to have Funky Business kicking off the season this year. We’ve got a lot to celebrate being back under the trees at the Lagoon this summer. Come prepared to sing along or let your feet take over and spend the time dancing.

Christine Alice & the Canyon Echoes
Christine is our break-out performer last season and quickly became a Lagoon staple! A Fort Collins native, her music has been critically acclaimed by both local musicians and professionals throughout the country. She has killer vocals that will convince you she's an angel, but on the flip of a note, she can bring the fiery depths from below. The breadth of her music crosses all types of genres from pop, country, alternative, to lo-fi and more. We think she offers something for everyone.

Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts
Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts are a 4-piece touring band that shares male and female leads in a mix of old school country and rock n’ roll. Call it western outlaw, modern outlaw country, or just plain outlaw, Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts bring forth new energy to fans who love the heroes and outlaws of old. Influenced by the songs and personalities of legends like Waylon and Willie, they drive their sound with blazing guitars and a rock n’ roll attitude. The band pays respect to classic styles, but anyone can tell from their overdriven sound that they’re far from traditionalists. Recommended for lovers of both classic country and 70s rock n’ roll. They also earned 2021 Female Vocalist of the year and 2019 Band of the year from the Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame
