June 15, 2024My sister and I heard this group last night (June 14, 2023) at the St Julian Hotel in Boulder. I’m 78 years old and I can honestly say this is one of the best groups I’ve ever heard. Ever! What the four of them create is astounding, truly indescribable.

An outgoing and energetic group of performers. Their musical sets are diverse and blend in originals, with crowd-favorite covers, and solo songs. Intermingled with this is friendly bantering with the crowd (if appropriate). They easily bring a youthful, professional and upbeat vibe to each event, but are equally comfortable in more formal settings.
Diverse, unique, and fun!
Chris Carter is a tall man and plays guitar while singing. Elvin Holderfield is a short half-asian man and plays piano. Rob Wiberg has very large hands that he uses to play bass. Together they are friends. Together they are Venture Still.
Based around the catchy songwriting of their front man, Chris Carter, Venture Still blends thick organic textures with electronic elements to produce their take on alternative pop/rock. Formed in the fall of 2016, Venture Still’s music is the result of three close friends coming together to express their shared passion. Drawing from a spectrum of experiences, Carter’s lyrics embody the harmony and dissonance found in everyday struggles. Backing Carter, is bassist Rob Wiberg and pianist Elvin Holderfield. Inspired by bass greats like Victor Wooten, Rob provides funky slap riffs and creamy melodies that give each song a contagious groove. Elvin, a classically trained pianist and composer, lays down a bed of textures from piano to ambient pads.
