Live Music 5 – 8 PM: For most of his life, Michael has sought to find music wherever he could find it. A fan of music first, he hopes to bring you what everyone craves from live music… a good time. With a growing interest in all sorts of music, his music styling ebb and flow with what he listens to. As of July 21, 2024, Michael had been listening to Jimmy Smith for the majority of that day. Tomorrow it might be Stevie, Pantera, or possibly some Mbira music. Michael has been able to take the stage with artists such as Lech Wierzynski, Lorenzo Loera, and Eddie Roberts to name a few.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
