Silver Stars

Nancy Thorwardson sings and plays rhythm guitar in the Silver Stars. She has been a performing musician for many years, playing and singing western, swing, honky-tonk, folk, bluegrass, old-timey, and Cajun music. Nancy is a songwriter who composes in styles ranging from lively and upbeat western and standard swing to cowboy waltzes, heartfelt jazz ballads, and sweet and honest country love songs. She has a true talent for composing songs which fit perfectly within the genre, so her original numbers are always highlights of any show.

Greg Schochet plays mandolin and lead guitar with the Silver Stars. He is an integral part of Colorado's thriving music community, in demand as a performer, producer, and teacher. A wizard on both guitar and mandolin, Greg is fluent in many styles, including swing, honky tonk, country, bluegrass, folk, and blues. He makes everybody want to hoot and holler when his fingers fly over the strings.

Ryan Drickey plays fiddle and sings with the Silver Stars. He is a versatile and accomplished musician rooted in the rich violin tradition, and spends his time performing, studying and teaching both violin and fiddle, singing, and playing cello. Ryan is at home in a wide spectrum of genres and his beautiful tone and delicate touch make him a delightful addition to the band.

Aaron Keim plays bass guitar and sings with the Silver Stars. He has a diverse and fulfilling career as musician, writer, scholar, teacher, and luthier. Aaron is a total high-energy performer, clearly loving every note and always open to new ideas and interpretations. His energy and musical ability combine to make him an exciting "bottom end" for the band.

When Aaron's touring, Ian Hutchison plays bass guitar with the Silver Stars. Ian is one of the busiest bass players in Colorado, proficient in styles ranging from bluegrass to jazz. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music with a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance.
