Founded in 1987, we are the longest running band from Colorado.  For 37 years we have brought our music to fans from California to Kentucky and from Texas through Canada.  We have also had 6 very successful tours of Ireland as well.  Original members, Kenny Pabst (bass and vocals) and Doug Elrick, (mandolin and vocals) have seen High Plains Tradition begin as a bar act and graduate to playing Major Festivals and Concerts throughout the West and Midwest.  Adding to the band is Steve Gilmore (guitar and vocals)  Mark Leslie (banjo and vocals) and Bobbie Vickery (fiddle and vocals).  High Plains Tradition prides itself in bringing the "Traditional" sound of Bluegrass to it's fans but don't be surprised to hear some Country and Swing tunes as well as a Gershwin tune or two.  Audiences have said,  "WOW, we never expected that.  They are so entertaining!"
