Though Todd Park Mohr, Rob Squires and Brian Nevin —
three soft-spoken fellas from Colorado — have admitted to no
desire to become rock stars, it may be too late. They make up

touring since 1986, it seems fame may have finally found them.
They open up for Ziggy Marley (yes, indeed, son of the late
great) and the Melody Makers on Tuesday, Aug. 26. Pine Knob.
