Janusz Nastarowicz
He is the number one figure of the Łódź country and rock scene. He is also the founder and leader of the COLORADO BAND, one of the most important Polish country groups. COLORADO BAND was founded in 1992 as the result of joining two Łódź bands TEXEL and WESTERN STANDARD. The music of the new group is closelyconnected with country music as well as classical rock. American rock with several elements of country became an inspiration and challenge to create an individual and unique sound, not to be met in Poland earlier. In 1993 COLORADO BAND performed at the Polish Nationale Festival of Country Bands in Chrościna Opolska where they received the I st prize and were invited to take part in the XI International Picnic Country in Mrągowo. The extremaly dynamic interpretation of their songs won over the audience , which later on resulted in regular invitations to Picnic Country Festival in Mrągowo.

So far they have played with such groups and performers as Perfekt, Dżem, Urszula, Piasek or Martyna Jakubowicz.

Sherwood
Is a vocal - instrumental quartet playing folk - rock music of the 60`s and 70`s. However, at first they were just a duet specializing in performing Simon & Garfunkel`s compositions and their own in similar mood. Their instruments are two guitars, bass and percussion. The most characteristic feature of their music is the clear emotional attitude towards vocal harmony.
