Gunnison Sunset

Acoustic Eidolon is the Colorado-based duo of Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire, known for creating a distinctive “new acoustic” sound that blends Celtic, Americana, world, and flamenco influences with striking originality. Featuring Scott on his one-of-a-kind double-neck guitjo and Alkire on cello, the group has built an international reputation for virtuosic musicianship, inventive arrangements, and performances that feel both intimate and expansive. With more than a dozen recordings and appearances across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Canada, Acoustic Eidolon continue to captivate audiences with a sound that is elegant, adventurous, and truly their own.

Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison

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!
