Two Faces West…Some Background
Two Faces West first settled in the Mile High City of Denver in the Fall of 2015, where they have burst into the music scene as one of its premier live acts! Originally from the Western Slope of Colorado, the ‘Faces have made quite the name for themselves everywhere from small mountain town bars, to shows at iconic Denver venues. The band has survived now for almost almost a decade through many struggles and obstacles, including the recent Covid 19 pandemic. Constant perseverance has kept the music and performances flowing from this eclectic three-piece consisting of Kurt Ashmore (guitar, vocals, saxophone; Vince Carmellini, bass; and Mick Knudsen, drums).
The trio recently completed recording their first full-length album and are in the process of finishing and releasing it for next year. “I think the vision for us to release these songs though the modern digital formats, but also do a vinyl release reminiscent of a 1970’s album with artwork, pictures, and something that brings people into the music,” says Carmellini.
Two Faces West’s sound is described as a fiery blend of rock and blues, which focuses on the roots of blues, while expressing its core in pure rock’n’roll, topping it off with a touch of funk to create a versatile and distinctive Colorado sound.

“The juxtaposition between the soulful and blues vocals with the more punk rock guitars will play with your mood.” – 303 Magazine
