Swashbuckling Doctors
The Swashbuckling Doctors bring high octane ska punk fun to the stage at Drifters Thrift Bar on Friday September 18th! Come see why this band won the Colorado Sound "Best Stage Presence" award in 2024. The "Swash Docs" have been skanking up and down Colorado and beyond since their inception in Fort Collins in 2010. Currently working on a new album due in 2027, the Docs are currently clipping along at maximum, some say dangerously unsustainable, levels of speed and energy in 2026. Don't miss it!
Vudu Sunshine
Vudu Sunshine channels the raw pulse of classic soul‑funk with killer sax lines that cut through the mix, thumping bass that shakes the floor, and guitar work that swings from tight rhythmic chops to full‑on Hendrix‑style shredding. Their sets blend soulful and groovy originals with electrifying Jimi Hendrix covers, all delivered with a loose, high‑energy vibe that feels like a vintage jam session caught in a modern groove. Vudu Sunshine is the band you call when you want the room moving, the solos flying, and the funk turned all the way up.
Reggae Sessions and Caribbean Food
Join us for the Longmont Reggae Club. An afternoon of Roots, Rub-a-dub, and Reggae that brings our community together through music, connection and positive vibes. Featuring DJ Soul Rock on the turntables, Slim on the microphone, and Island Woman Shani toasting and dishing up delicious Caribbean jerk chicken wraps. Come relax and gather with friends, meet new chill folks, and celebrate the spirit of reggae music. All ages welcome.
BOGO Mimosas and Screwdrivers from 11am-2pm.

Welcome to the world of Morpheus Dreaming. Our unique sonic elixir blends saxophone, 2-string slide bass, drums, and vocals. This fusion creates a jazzy, funky, bluesy, alt-rock experience like no other. Imagine a film noir vision that pulls you in. It invites you to escape reality and immerse yourself in sound.
Morpheus Dreaming is a reverie formed by a trio of seasoned musicians who bring decades of playing jazz, blues, and rock into a band that blurs all three genres into one.
Join us on this journey where every note tells a story. Let's explore the magic of Morpheus Dreaming together.
Spine Spa (Every 1st Sunday of the month)
Welcome to the Spine Spa hosted by Kari Luna every 1st Sunday of the month! This workshop is a luxurious fusion of yoga, dance, and somatic movement education that lures your spine and joints into spiraling, undulating, rhythmic expression - leaving you feeling restored, embodied, and creatively alive.
The invitation is for you to spend time with your body, discovering yourself through the language of sensation and movement. Through joint and spine mobility work, functional strength, conditioning, and creative play, we build the technique that gives us a language to express ourselves through movement, and the embodiment that gives that language soul.
Spine Spa is devoted to the spine and joints because across ancient traditions and somatic developmental psychology, the spine is understood as our center, our central living axis of selfhood, integrity, and spiraling life force. And when we make embodied contact with our center, we touch the source of authentic creativity.
This all-levels workshop welcomes dancers, yogis, artists, and anyone new to movement who is curious about exploring body-based traditions of creative expression.
We ebb and flow between guided structured movement pathways and freeform, spontaneous improvisation.
Rooted in Karina’s work as a registered dance/movement therapist, yoga instructor, and years as a belly dancer and performance artist, this practice holds both the rigor of technique and the wildness of embodied expression.
And because every spa day needs its moment of deep rest, we close with a restorative sound bath - an invitation for your body to receive, integrate, and rest in all that moved through it!
Bring a yoga mat and come ready to indulge your body and mind.
Pre & Post class mimosas, cocktails, and mocktails available and encouraged as Sundays are BOGO mimosas & screwdrivers!
Class begins before the shop is open so please arrive 10-15 minutes before to get settled and arranged. Class ends right as Drifters opens its doors to the public. You’ll have first dibs for mimosas and rhythmic post class dancing!

Rogue 2
Rogue 2 is an acoustic stomp-rock band from Boulder, Colorado, known for big harmonies, bigger energy, and sticking banjo where it absolutely does not belong.
For more than a decade, Rogue 2 has been taking songs from across the musical map and rebuilding them in their own slightly twisted image. Johnny Cash and Billie Eilish. The Killers and Black Sabbath. Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails, Journey, Sublime — sometimes all in the same set. If it has a great hook, a killer groove, or presents an especially entertaining opportunity for musical vandalism, it’s fair game.
The result isn’t your typical acoustic cover band. Rogue 2 brings the energy of a rock show with guitars, bass, percussion, three-part vocals, and an ever-expanding collection of banjos, dobros, mandolins, steel drums, upright basses, and whatever else seemed like a good idea at the time. It’s basically a pawn shop with a PA.
The members of Rogue 2 bring decades of experience to the stage, having shared stages and studios with artists including Yonder Mountain String Band, Fuel, Goo Goo Dolls, The Cranberries, Gin Blossoms, Dave Matthews, Bret Michaels, and The Refreshments. But the point isn’t the résumé. It’s what happens when the band counts off the next song and half the room thinks, Wait…they’re going to play THAT?
Yep.
Probably with banjo.
