Meet your Chef - Whistling Boar


Whistling Boar - David and Debbie Pitula are the owners of Whistling Boar- a from scratch caterer/private chef company and artisan bread bakery. Their mission is to create soulful food experiences using sustainable practices. Their brand is locally driven and sources most of their ingredients within 20 miles of their kitchen. They bake and deliver artisan breads, celebrate Colorado farms and ranchers through community farm dinners, and help customers celebrate special occasions with private event service. They also donate 1% of every sale to Zero Foodprint, which gives grants to support more local farms here in Colorado to make the changes needed to create a more sustainable future with land stewardship.


Meet the Band - Orchard Creek Band


Orchard Creek Band - We are a group of committed Colorado musicians - Dave Richardson (banjo), Keith Murdock (Dobro), Jan Springer (guitar) Kevin Slick (mandolin) and Roz Weller (bass). Our confluence came quite naturally. Even though our musical backgrounds are wide and varied, the combination of styles has become a vibrant and diverse bluegrass blend of traditional forms, contemporary and original concepts, gospel touches and a lot of fun. It's fresh picked bluegrass that is sure to please!
