Chain Station is a high-energy, get-‘em-out-on-the-dance-floor string band born high in the mountains but based in Denver. Their music is well steeped in Americana roots with vocal harmonies that are high, lonesome, and tight. Their picking ranges from lightning-fast to mountain mellow. A bluegrass band that satisfies a picky old-timer and delights fans of newgrass as well.

In 2006, Alex Thoele and Jon Pickett met while playing guitars around a campfire on a mountaintop in Estes Park. The two have been entertaining and writing music ever since. In 2010, they were joined by mandolin player and fellow Midwesterner Jarett Mason. In 2018 Chris “C-Bob” Elliot joined them on banjo and vocals.

They've become known for winning over crowds with creative, fun original songs that flow from the mountains, through them and right back to you. It's obvious these guys love what they do, engaging their growing fan base with insane energy and stage antics that guarantee a fun show.

Chain Station has directly supported bands including The Del McCoury Band, The Devil Makes Three, The Travelin' McCourys, Steve Poltz, Larry Sparks, The Jeff Austin Band, Sierra Hull, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, Todd Snider, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Trout Steak Revival, The Railsplitters, Fruition, Hot Buttered Rum, Deadphish Orchestra and many more.

This band has been living life through music and adventures together for more than six years. Relentless gigging in their home state, the mountain West, the Midwest, Pacific Northwest and Canada has made this band of brothers one of the tightest and most professional on the scene today.
