A Brother’s Fountain is a Colorado-based band with a folk-inspired sound you always wanted to hear but never knew existed. Some categorize them as Indie Folk. Others call them an Americana band. A Brother’s Fountain knows they belong to a genre all their own: Campfire Folk. Songs range from rowdy and anthemic to reflective, laid-back sing-alongs. Keep an ear out to hear their trademark “gang vocals” that invite the listener to throw their voice into the anthem.

This rag-tag crew of best buds and mountain junkies (river guides, rock climbers, backpackers, cyclists, skiers, etc.) started their music journey busking on the street corners of Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado. Their music is inspired by life’s extraordinary gifts–Mother Nature, authentic friendship, epic adventures, and mysteries that keep us ever-curious.

About This Trip

Mountain Music on the Yampa River invites you to step away from the noise of daily life and fully embrace what draws people to the river in the first place: time outside, shared moments, and the simple joy of being present. With A Brother’s Fountain along for the journey, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for wild places, camaraderie, and the small things that tend to matter most in life. Their music invites reflection and sing-along energy in equal measure, creating space to slow down, look up, and enjoy where you are and who you’re with. Set against the backdrop of days spent rafting and nights under starry skies, music becomes an integral part of the trip’s rhythm, encouraging you to unplug, laugh a little louder, and savor these magical moments spent outdoors together.

“I cannot recommend this rafting trip enough! Our crew was phenomenal!!!!
The band A Brothers Fountain was on the trip and made it even more special.
Perfect campfire folk music on the river and around the camp fire every night.
This is truly an experience of a lifetime and I am so grateful.”

As you wind your way down the wild and free-flowing Yampa River, you’ll experience thrilling Class III-IV whitewater, including one of the West’s most notorious big drops, Warm Springs Rapid. Throw in endless bewitching geology and natural history, plus plenty of opportunities to hop off the rafts to explore it all, and your days on the river will be unforgettable. Then, you’ll pull up to a beautiful beach, perfect for camp games, relaxing in the sunshine, and moving to the music while your guides prepare a delectable feast. You’ll dine riverside with your fellow rafters, and as the setting sun gives way to a stunning celestial sky, you’ll relish in life’s little moments with good music, good conversation, and good people.
