Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Chris Fogler and Chelsea Hackett of Goldie and the Grindstones

Vocalist Chris Fogler moved to Colorado when the COVID-19 pandemic started, and he had many friends in the area. One of these friend’s partners lived with guitarist Dan Thurnhoffer, and Thurnhoffer, Fogler, and their mutual friend made a point to get together and play music every week. Ultimately, they formed the group Sycamore Porch Pickers, with the mutual friend eventually dropping out and being replaced by bass player Dave Keller. Fogler also played guitar and mandolin, and Thurnhoffer also contributed to vocals.

The group felt like their name didn’t fit with their sound, which covers the gambit of rock-and-roll, blues, and jazz, but not bluegrass, which they felt their name was reminiscent of. They took the first part of their new name from their guitarist’s truck Goldie, and they took their second name from feeling ground down from life and music, and thus, Goldie and the Grindstones was born.
