Brad Bartlett from the band Wild Mountain

Wild Mountain is an all acoustic string band from Durango, Colorado that plays a unique blend of original bluegrass and Americana music focusing on life 'West of the 100th Meridian."

The band is a rich blend of musical styles featuring the husband and wife team of Brad Bartlett and Estella Moore on guitar, fiddle and vocals. Their original songwriting is the heart of Wild Mountain and mixes traditional and regional ‘mountain music’ with engaging historic, social, and environmental themes.

Rusty Charpentier (bass, vocals), a virtuoso musician, is a music major at Fort Lewis College in Durango where he is mastering violin and numerous other stringed instruments.

Mark Epstein (banjo, dobro and vocals) is the newest member and one of the best banjo players in the Southwest. Mark performed with the bluegrass favorites, The Badly Bent, winners of the 2005 Telluride Bluegrass band competition.

Wild Mountain is currently working on their second CD which will be available in winter, 2011.

Wild Mountain is honest, engaging, and remains an integral part of the Southwest music scene.
