This event is free to attend and does not require tickets. All Music on the Green performances take place at the Yampa River Botanic Park.
Join us every Wednesday morning this summer for our weekly free concert series, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park. With concerts lasting just 45 minutes, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a summer morning.
This week’s featured artist is the Amanda Hofer Trio. From the heart of the Yampa Valley emerges a powerful acoustic experience that defies expectations. Amanda Hofer, Darren Radach, and Eric Delaney have joined forces to create a dynamic trio that brings together their diverse musical backgrounds and shared passion for authentic live performance.
This powerhouse ensemble blends rock, funk, blues, and folk into a captivating acoustic sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly original. At the forefront stands Amanda Hofer, the “tiny powerhouse” whose vocals have drawn comparisons to legends like Etta James and Janis Joplin. Scene Magazine perfectly captured her essence: “Backed by an amazing band, tiny powerhouse Amanda Hofer came walking on the stage with vocal cords swinging for the fences.”
On mandolin, vocals, and percussion, Darren Radach brings rhythmic complexity and melodic precision honed through his work with Ansel and the Brain Tattoos and The Matt Skinner Band. Completing the trio is Eric Delaney on guitar and vocals, whose soulful playing and technical prowess have been the foundation of projects like The Big Tasty and Eric Delaney’s Taste Test.
Together, they create music that transcends the limitations of a three-piece acoustic setup. As Backstage Flash noted, Hofer’s “power, raw explosive delivery and stage presence was and still is profoundly indescribable,” and now supported by the intricate instrumentation of Radach and Delaney, the trio delivers performances that captivate audiences throughout the Yampa Valley and beyond.
Far from “traditional barroom fare,” Hofer, Radach & Delaney offer sophisticated musicianship, soulful vocals, and an infectious energy that turns every venue into an intimate celebration of sound, story, and spirit.
