Since 2009

A Greeley Original

Built Here. Turned Up Loud.

My Favorite Bands began in Greeley in 2009, when Damon Smith brought local musicians together to perform as the artists they loved, from the look to the hits and deeper cuts. In 2026, the festival returns downtown with six acts on two alternating stages.
