Sound Tracking the Rockies: Local Folk and the Mountain Soul of Summit County

Summit County’s vibrant culture extends far beyond world-class skiing and alpine trails. For a true taste of the local arts scene, look no further than Local Folk, a mountain soulgrass band rooted right down the road in Dillon and deeply woven into the musical fabric of the region.

Founded in 2013, the trio brings together versatile instrumentation and high-altitude harmonies that capture the essence of life at 9,000 feet. Fronted by Mountain Dru on mandolin and guitar, alongside Loren Zynieki on guitar and Josh Loun on bass, the group delivers a dynamic blend of bluegrass, folk, and soulful storytelling. Their infectious energy has made them a beloved staple at iconic local venues, winter festivals, and mountain stages across the high country.

Whether they are headlining a community celebration or playing an intimate après-ski gig, Local Folk embodies the adventurous spirit of the mountains. Their music serves as the ultimate soundtrack for anyone exploring the rugged beauty of Summit County, proving that the local talent scene is just as breathtaking as the alpine views.
