For more than a decade, John Kirlin and the High Plains Drifters have been performing their unique blend of Americanna, Country, Rock, and Bluegrass all across the Rocky Mountain region. Whether they are playing to a festival crowd or in a more intimate setting, their passion for storytelling and their love of music is showcased by a high-energy experience that is truly infectious!
In a new undertaking, the WSO has hired orchestrators Tom Hagerman and Cameron Smith to transform John Kirlin and the High Plains Drifter’s music into a symphonic collaboration that will have you out of your seats and dancing on the lawn!
