Danny Scott, Quinn Cerovski and Greg Scott perform during Nowoodstock on Sunday, Aug. 15. The 20th edition of the Ten Sleep music festival took place with Quinn Cerovski and Black Mountain Blues making their first appearance at the event.
TEN SLEEP – When Quinn Cerovski & Black Mountain Blues took the stage this past weekend at Nowoodstock, Cerovski achieved a dream that he has been working toward as a child after watching his dad perform on the stage for years.
Cerovski has been around music his entire life, as his father is the guitarist for the Low Water String Band who performed at Nowoodstock this past weekend just before Cerovski took the stage for the first time.
The other members of the band Danny and Greg Scott also grew up in music as their father is a part of Full Blown Mosey which helped them get inspired in music.
Cerovski and the Scott brothers brought their unique sound to the stage after forming the group three years ago in Lander.
"I have always been writing songs solo and having these guys come and fill that space was really nice," Cerovski said.
He said that when the group originally met up the Scott brothers originally played death metal while Cerovski played the blues which allowed for them to find their sound.
Since the group first formed, they have begun to experiment with different genres and include more rock and roll with a psychedelic edge, looking to fuse these different genres together to find a unique sound.
Cerovski said that one of his favorite stages to play at in the state is the Ten Sleep Brewery after he competed in the Wyoming State Singer Songwriter competition two years ago and that inspired him to come back to Ten Sleep.
He said that when Nowoodstock organizer Pat O'Brien gave him the call to come perform he said they jumped at the opportunity after Cerovski had seen his dad perform on the stage before.
"It felt awesome," Cerovski said when talking about getting on stage for the first time. "This is definitely the biggest stage and the most professional setup we have played in."
He said that they typically play on trailer beds and at the Lander Bar, which he said has a great setup for a stage, but it does not reach the levels of a music festival stage.
Cerovski said he would love to play again next year, but even if O'Brien does not invite them back he would still come to watch Nowoodstock.
