A Short History

The band Mondragon has been in existence since 2003, and many knew the original players in such places as The Colorado and Arizona Renaissance Festivals, the Norman Oklahoma Medieval Fair, The Cheshire Cat, The Jazzy Bean, Saxby's Coffee, various weddings, MHCD's Market with a Heart, and The Art Affaire fundraisers. Since then, it has re-charged and offers an expanded repertoire and new instrumentation for its tunes and vocals. Performances have already included such places as Conor O'Neill's, The Cheshire Cat, , Lonigan's Saloon in Estes Park, TheSilverthorne Pavilion, Snowmass Village, and the Durango Bluegrass Meltdown. In addition, Mondragon has provided music for both the Bennett School of Irish Dance and the Heritage Irish Stepdancers.

Mondragon is a collective of musicians whose roots delve into folk, classical, jazz, and rock, and it blooms with a style quite unique from the garden variety Celtic ensemble. The band is known to take on traditional tunes and flirt with dimension. Whether it be through a harmony or an unexpected turn, the result is delightful and often mesmerizing. Mondragon possesses a deep love for both historical tradition and contemporary style. The band is comfortable and affable in all venues, and its energy is downright contagious.
