In the summer of 2011, Paul Henderson invited his friends Daniel Szabo, Juan Lopez, and Quanah Lansing over to jam, and as a result Little Wilderness was formed.

Created in the basement of Henderson's house, Little Wilderness enjoys creating laid-back and fun songs that everyone can groove to. The original tunes are an eclectic gathering of groove oriented songs that reflect the soul and spirit of indie rock, punk rock and Americana rolled up in a fun package. They have played gigs around Durango and are working on recording their new album.

The Mancos Valley Distillery presents Little Wilderness on Friday, July 31. Doors open at 5 p.m., and music starts at 8 p.m. Cover charge is $3, and "Tastes Like Friday" cocktails will be served.

The band is composed of Paul Henderson (lead vocals and guitar); Daniel Szabo (back-up vocals and lead guitar); Juan Lopez (bass); and Quanah Lansing (drums).
