Jeremy Campbell, a multi-talented individual known for his musical prowess and passion for hockey, has been an active figure in Steamboat Springs’ vibrant music scene. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeremy experienced a challenging six-month battle with long COVID. This period, though difficult, ignited a renewed drive in him, leading to a prolific phase of songwriting. He found solace and inspiration in music, which became a therapeutic outlet during his recovery. This creative surge played a pivotal role in the formation of The Little Moon Travelers, as Jeremy sought to bring his new compositions to life with a group of like-minded musicians.
The Little Moon Travelers emerged from informal jam sessions during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The Little Moon Travelers are set to perform at this year’s WinterWonderGrass festival. Jeremy expresses excitement about the opportunity to share the stage with renowned artists and to connect with a broader audience.
