We play All Original Music

Though, Fry Pan may be new to the Intermountain music scene, the players, most certainly, are not. Through the past 3 or so decades, we have collectively played with some of the most noteworthy musical acts in the Mountain West, as well as, national and international Artists.

All the players are very talented musicians and composers.

All are dedicated to the craft.

Fry Pan plays carefully crafted Songs……. thought out, worked over, and managed by players that thrive on pulling off Tricky Riffs and Challenging Writing and Plenty of Solos

..........and make them burn.

Our desire, as a band, is to give all we’ve got for the most meaningful settings for appreciative audiences.

Shovelin Stone

With roots embedded in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and a sound unhinged in the capital of Texas, Shovelin Stone is a music almost as unique as the friendship it stems from. A shared passion for old-timey bluegrass is what brought Makenzie and Zak together, but it's the unknowing joy for the moment and the obsession with the complications that life brings that continue to push the duo forward. Within heartfelt lyrics and a unique musical composition, the folk sound that projects from these two is not only going to get the audience thinking but on their feet. Shovelin Stone just released their first self titled album recorded by Grammy winning producer PJ Olsson of the Alan Parsons Project, in his state of the art recording studio in beautiful Winter Park, Colorado. And this power trio is eager to spread the word. With songs about longing, love, and the hunger to be heard in this big world it is hard not to relate to Shovelin Stone on their quest for success. The road is winding but one thing is for sure that with these three at the wheel it's going to be a wild ride.
