Bands & Music Lineup
From high-energy regional favorites to crowd-pleasing local acts, the Rock Fish Festival lineup is curated to keep the music going all day long. Whether you’re here to discover something new or dance to bands you already love, there’s a sound for everyone.
Headliner Spotlight
Clay Street Unit doesn’t just play shows — they throw parties. Formed in Denver and shaped by southern roots and western grit, the six-piece band blends bluegrass and folk instrumentation with the driving energy of Americana and country, creating a sound that feels both timeless and freshly electric.
Built on sharp songwriting, road-tested chemistry, and the spirit of six close friends, Clay Street Unit’s music invites crowds to let loose, sing along, and feel something real. Their debut album Sin & Squalor captures the catharsis of their live shows while digging into stories of friendship, longing, and everyday survival — all delivered with fire-powered strings, driving drums, and undeniable momentum.
Whether you call it folk-country, Americana, or Rocky Mountain newgrass with southern soul, one thing’s certain: Clay Street Unit is a must-see live act — and the perfect band to close out the Rock Fish Festival.
