Salomé Songbird is a Colorado-based stringband sharing deeply personal music inspired by life experiences, cartoons, and nature.

Started by Ariele Macadangdang and Joy Adams as an outlet for original songs amidst Miami’s classical music scene, Salomé Songbird reconnected in Colorado with the addition of Bryan Dubrow. For the past few years they have been performing their self-described “scathing lullabies” for listening audiences around Colorado, releasing several singles along the way.

Between them Joy, Ariele, and Bryan have backgrounds including old-time, jazz, bluegrass, classical, rock, and pop music. They weave these influences (with the help of intuition and a lot trial and error) into their own take on acoustic music that’s been described as “a musical mantra, pushing through darkness and precipitous mental health to find strength,” and “storytelling and sound [woven] together to create something not easily forgotten.”

Band members have performed with artists including Darol Anger, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Flobots, Kygo, Sigur Rós, and Big Richard.

About Rebecca Frazier

Rebecca Frazier began performing professionally in Telluride, Colorado, in the late 90’s. Frazier came to national attention in 2006 as the first woman on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, and after moving to Nashville in 2007, she was recognized as “a genuine triple threat as a singer, songwriter, and flatpicking guitarist” by The Nashville Scene. The Virginia native was later picked up by Compass Records for her flatpicking/songwriting solo showcase When We Fall, which was called “the best bluegrass album of 2013” by Henry Carrigan of The Bluegrass Situation.  The album received heavy airplay on SiriusXM Radio and peaked at #3 on the national Roots Music Report Chart. In 2018, Frazier became the first woman to be nominated for SPBGMA Guitar Performer of the Year and was nominated again in 2019. Paste Magazine deemed Frazier one of “Seven Women Smashing the Bluegrass Glass Ceiling” in 2017. Other honors include Frazier’s featured appearance singing and playing “Keep on the Sunnyside” on Hank Williams’ biopic, the 20th Century Fox The Last Ride movie soundtrack released by Curb Records in 2012, and Frazier’s 2009 IBMA Recorded Event of the Year award for her work on the Daughters of Bluegrass’ Bluegrass Bouquet. Frazier is a founding member of Hit & Run, the first and only band to win all three high-profile bluegrass band contests—Telluride (2003), Rockygrass (2002), and SPBGMA (2005) Festival Competitions. Dubbed “East Nashville real deal bluegrass” by journalist Craig Havighurst, the band has toured throughout 41 states and Canada since 2002 and has performed as Rebecca Frazier and Hit & Run since 2013. Frazier earned a B.A. in Music from the University of Michigan and studied guitar at Berklee College of Music. She has taught workshops across the U.S. and Canada since 2005, and was on staff at Nashville Music Academy from 2008 to 2021.

We are so excited to have highly acclaimed artists Abbie Gardner (of Red Molly) and Martin Gilmore with us at The Stone Cottage for an Outdoor Artist Series Concert on May 30th! You are in for a wonderful evening of music in the gardens at The Stone Cottage! Bring your low-back chairs/blankets, picnics and drinks of choice, and then kick back and relax for the show. The address for the outdoor series is 3091 7th St, Boulder. Doors - 5:30PM, Show - 6:30PM 

About Abbie Gardner

Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly, her songs are propelled by impeccable slide guitar chops. Her live show is truly unique - as an award-winning songwriter, captivating vocalist, and a world-class lap style dobro player, she has an unmistakable sound all her own. This sound of vocals and dobro unaccompanied is masterfully captured on her 2022 CD "DobroSinger." The record hit #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and #2 on the Folk DJ Charts. It’s a raw intimate recording full of blues and heartfelt ballads. Quite a contrast to Wishes on a Neon Sign (2018) which featured a co-write with Chris Stapleton and leaned on full band production. She's a Kerrville New Folk Finalist (2025) and was recently nominated for Folk Alliance International's Artist of the Year (ceremony in Jan 2026). Though she has traveled around the world with Red Molly, Abbie stands strong as a solo act and has opened for Lori McKenna, Hot Rize, and Martina McBride.
