[UPDATE 11/10/21]: WinterWonderGrass Colorado further bolstered its 2022 lineup on Wednesday with the addition of its third headliner, The Wood Brothers. The trio of Chris and Oliver Wood alongside multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix joins previously announced headliners Trampled By Turtles and Yonder Mountain String Band. The traveling bluegrass festival returns to the Steamboat Resort in Steamboat Springs February 25th–27th.
“We’re very excited for a triumphant return to WinterWonderGrass! We’ll be there with bells and long Johns on,” The Wood Brothers said in a statement. Bassist Chris Wood adds, “My brother [Oliver] came to this band from the blues and gospel world, and my history was all over the map with jazz and R&B. The idea for [The Wood Brothers] has always been to marry our backgrounds, to imagine what might happen if Robert Johnson and Charles Mingus had started a band together.”
Also on tap for the 2022 return of WinterWonderGrass Colorado are Kitchen Dwellers, The Travelin’ McCourys, Sierra Hull, Lindsay Lou, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, The War and Treaty, Molly Tuttle, Ghost of Paul Revere, Dustbowl Revival, Cris Jacobs Band, Pickin’ on the Dead, Buffalo Commons, Sticks and Thorns, The Sweet Lillies, Drunken Hearts, Morsel, and Joy Roemer Band.
Tickets for WinterWonderGrass Colorado are on sale now and will remain at their lowest price until November 24th when the fourth and final headliner is announced. Visit WWG CO’s website for tickets and scroll down to view the previously announced lineup.

“To simply say we missed our community, the WinterWonderGrass vibrations, and the snow-covered festival is perhaps the understatement of my lifetime,” says festival founder and producer, Scotty Stoughton. “What gets me up in the morning is knowing this is exactly what the universe intended for me to do. While we didn’t sit idle, we certainly felt the hole in our hearts. But now we get to redeem ourselves, take the pent-up energy of two years and fill the fireworks. Can’t wait to light the fuse, host our village and get back to creating memories of a lifetime.”
