A soulful singer-songwriter and his 4-legged backup perform original music and an eclectic collection of familiar and forgotten covers of all ages and genres. From Van Morrison to Whitney Houston, nothing is off-limits. With a big bluesy voice and a percussive rhythmic guitar style, Heart has a Modern Folk/Americana sound that will keep you dancing, and laughing, and may even leave you misty-eyed at times. Sam will be joined on guitar by Logan Wise of Paonia.
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!
