About Us

The Manitou Strings

Manitou Strings

Based in Manitou Springs since 2017, the Manitou Strings is an eclectic acoustic band featuring Americana, old -school classics and genre-jumping  covers (and some originals) that run the gamut of alt country, folk, and honky tonk plus some good ol’ roots Rock ‘n Roll.  Powerful vocals, excellent harmonies and a general love of music round out this local favorite. The band is entertaining and has a lot of fun that they just can’t hide.

One of us is usually at Trails End Sunday afternoons

Sometimes it's just fun to play informally in a jam setting rather than a on-stage performance. Join us on Sunday afternoons, 3 to 6 p.m. for a very informal live music jam at Trails End Taproom, located in Colorado Springs. Lots of bluegrass tunes--but we do get a little wild and sometimes throw some Bob Dylan songs in, plus the usual Gillian Welch, Merle Haggard, and John Prine standards. Come on down.
