Tickets & Info

Hailing from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California, Boot Juice is a musical force featuring electric and acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies, bass, drums, saxophone, and trumpet. Inspired by The Band and Railroad Earth, their energetic performances draw comparisons to Talking Heads. Since 2017, they’ve toured extensively, leaving sticky dance floors and happy audiences in their wake. Founding members Connor Herdt and Evan Daly blend their love for Americana and rock’n’roll, while bassist Brett Worley, vocalist Jess Stoll, and drummer Billy D. Thompson contribute to their dynamic sound. The addition of a horn section in 2019 added infectious energy, creating a dance-worthy atmosphere.
Boot Juice’s lineup, with its roots in childhood friendship, delivers a big sound that feels at home in both intimate venues and large festival stages. Their music, ranging from bluegrass and Americana to cosmic rock’n’roll, is characterized by sultry blues and soul. The band released “Speaking in Tones” in May 2019 and followed up with “Shifting Gears” in March 2021. Currently tracking their third LP set for a 2023 release, Boot Juice continues to captivate audiences with their genre-blending, soulful tunes that transport listeners to street corners, riversides, and open highways.

Tickets & Info

Son Little, praised by American Songwriter as “one of the best songwriters working today,” conceived his latest album, Like Neptune, in a cabin overlooking the Delaware River in upstate New York. Trading in the existential dread permeating his previous work for unbridled joy and self-acceptance, Son Little transmutes the chronic pain of self-doubt into a beautiful and freeing opus about overcoming generational trauma. Hailed by Afropunk as “a stunning statement of purpose,” Like Neptune decorates the altar of the primordial blues and elevating the labor of healing to high art. “I’ve always felt as though I was making music because I had to, something inside compelled me. Fueled me,” Little shared. “This the first time in a long time I’m making music for the pure joy of creating.”
Son Little and his band, comprised of Little on vocals/guitar, Steve McKie (drums), and DeShawn Alexander (keys/bass), will tour North America for the first time support of Like Neptune through November and December.

“Settle back easy, Jim…” The words of Robert Hunter in the song “Althea” seemed to fit the mold of the band when it began in the fall of 2018 . The laid back group of musicians from Gunnison and Crested Butte, Colorado found a common love for the music with one another and a desire to learn and perform the material.
The six piece ensemble features the same instrumentation as the Grateful Dead including two drummers and four part vocal harmonies. Easy Jim is known for their exciting original improvisations, high energy performances, and attention to detail.

Live Theatre Reading: Henry and Ellen
2024-01-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Center for the Arts, 606 6th St., Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Tickets & Info

Henry and Ellen is a powerful and moving two character play that tells the love story of two of the greatest actors of all time, Sir Henry Irving and his leading lady, Ellen Terry. Henry is brilliant, eccentric, deeply inhibited offstage, narrow in range but astonishingly powerful, meticulous and driven. Ellen is spontaneous, utterly charming, much more inclined to take things as they come, and compulsively makes fun of him. But they are two wounded people who find each other, love each other, and work together wonderfully for many years before Ellen’s growth and Henry’s inflexibility threaten to tear them apart forever.
A tribute to two great performers and extraordinarily compelling people, this play contains a wealth of exceptional monologue and scene material for actors.

Live at Almont Resort: Andy Frasco and the U.N.
2024-01-24 19:30 - 21:30 | Almont Resort & Restaurant, 10209 Colorado 135, Almont, CO, 81210, United States
Tickets & Info

Andy Frasco & The U.N. have long been the high-flying DIY renegades of the touring scene known and loved for their kaleidoscopic musical fusion and one-of-a-kind onstage audacity. Now celebrating their longevity, the band is shaking things up with L’Optimist (Fun MachineRecords/Soundly), as its title suggests, Frasco’s most hopeful and enthusiastic collection thus far.
A testament to Frasco’s wide-ranging influences and boundless energy, his band’s sixth released studio album sees the magnetic frontman continuing to chart his path of self-exploration and personal discovery through increasingly introspective lyricism and musical adventure.
Songs like “Everything Bagel (Feat. Artikal Sound System)” and the deeply moving “Iowa Moon” touch on matters of the heart and mental health, emotional struggle and the sheer vulnerability of the human experience, all relayed through a wildly eclectic approach navigating funk, jazz, surf rock, blues, swing, gospel, reggae, exotica, and more with horn-blasted positivity and soulful power.
Having spent the first part of his career making his bones as a fun-loving frontman with a self-proclaimed “gift of gab,” Frasco pushed his songwriting in more personal directions with 2020’s Keep On Keepin’ On and 2022’s Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

2024-01-26 19:00 - 23:00 | Center for the Arts, 606 6th St., Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Formed in 2005, the Nashville-based acoustic group the Infamous Stringdusters balance a fluency in old-timey bluegrass and indie jamgrass sensibilities with an emphasis on strong instrumental work plus a sound that’s both organic and groove friendly.
The band earned a stellar reputation among bluegrass fans right out of the box, earning three International Bluegrass Music Association awards after the release of their 2007 debut album, Fork in the Road, and they began exploring a more ambitious musical approach with 2010’s Things That Fly that won them favor with the acoustic jam band community.
The Stringdusters’ genre-spanning approach got a workout on 2016’s Ladies & Gentlemen, in which they collaborated with 11 different female guest musicians, and they took a clear-eyed look at social and political issues on their 2022 effort Toward the Fray.

Art Exhibition: Dumb Logic Show
2024-02-09 - 2024-02-29 | Center for the Arts, 606 6th St., Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Elenor Sabin & Mark Dineen
This exhibition uses the conceptual framework of the American landscape to investigate ways in which globalism has influenced our surroundings both domestically and environmentally. Eleanor’s and Mark’s work combines common materials – foam, plywood, 2×4’s, cardboard, etc. – with more specialized materials like gold leaf, mirrored acrylic, and cast bronze to tell a story through sculpture.

Live at the Center: John Craigie w/Special Guest Daniel Rodriguez
2024-02-09 19:00 - 23:00 | Center for the Arts, 606 6th St., Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Portland, OR-based singer, songwriter, and producer John Craigie adapts moments of solitude into stories perfectly suited for old Americana fiction anthologies. Instead of leaving them on dog-eared pages, he projects them widescreen in flashes of simmering soul and folk eloquence.
Craigie sells out shows consistently coast-to-coast and earns acclaim from Rolling Stone, Glide Magazine, No Depression, and many more.
Craigie has reached a series of watershed moments. Beyond headlining venues such as The Fillmore and gracing the stage of Red Rocks Amphitheater, his 2020 offering Asterisk The Universe earned unanimous tastemaker applause. Rolling Stone noted, “tracks like ‘Don’t Deny’ and ‘Climb Up’ bridge a Sixties and Seventies songwriter vibe with the laid-back cool of Jack Johnson, an early supporter of Craigie,” while Glide Magazine hailed it as “one of his best records.”
Perhaps, No Depression put it best, “For many weary and heavy- listeners hearted, the album might be exactly what they need.” Along the way, he generated over 40 million total streams and counting, speaking to his unassuming impact.

Natural Selection Tour DUELS Celebration Concert
2024-02-10 16:00 - 18:00 | Red Lady Stage, 10 Crested Butte Way, Crested Butte, 81224, United States
The brainchild of snowboarding icon Travis Rice, the Natural Selection Tour features the world’s top snowboarders competing on natural and naturally enhanced terrain to crown the top men’s and women’s all-around snowboarders in the world.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort will host one of six YETI Natural Selection DUELS events: a series of head-to-head competitions deciding who will advance to the final two stages of the Tour in Revelstoke, British Columbia. While the DUEL itself is not open to the public, the entire community is invited to celebrate YETI Natural Selection DUELs coming to town with a free concert and party on snow next to Red Lady Express on Feb. 10th.
Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears: It’s a vital and distinctly American voice that never anticipated the attention he wound up receiving, never went looking for it either. It just started happening. The garage, the blues, the propulsive and synergistic live performances that inhabit the spaces of James Brown, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the MC5…those things happened naturally from the very beginning and could only be accurately communicated in the live experience, not a press release or a slick brand campaign. We know that Joe Lewis is genuinely doing his thing and that he’d do it regardless of what’s coming down the pipe. A stone cold original and a veteran at that.

Live at Almont Resort: King Ropes
2024-02-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Almont Resort & Restaurant, 10209 Colorado 135, Almont, CO, 81210, United States
Get ready for a night of dessert rock with King Ropes where we’ll be lassoing good times from the moment it kicks off on February 13th!
Super Natural, King Ropes’ fifth album, is at once their most ambitious and most intimate work, expanding the parameters of the band’s desert rock and ragged americana sound. It is buoyed by a directness that brings out Hollier’s most stirring songwriting to date. Hollier has a gift for writing about tragedy and pain with wry humor and conversational bluntness. Long-simmering family trauma, visions of animal reincarnation, mysterious respiratory ailments — all are worthy songwriting prompts as the record vacillates from the pounding rhythms of “Hello Sun” and thick, stoner-rock roar of “Drunk Donny” to the tenderness of “Sure,” a sorrowful, synth-driven ode to regret, and the quietly stunning, disarmingly plainspoken “Breathing”.
