Free
The Music on the Mountain series returns! ALO will take the stage on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Join us at the Red Lady Stage in the Crested Butte Mountain Resort Base Area for free live music. Rachel Vanslyke will open at 5:30 pm. All live series openers are provided in partnership with the Gunnison Valley Music Association. Food and beverages will be served during the event. Grab your camp chairs and blankets and make plans to join us on the lawn! The music and magic of ALO (aka Animal Liberation Orchestra) shine vividly on their new album, Frames, on Brushfire Records. Frames embodies the spirit of a band riding a creative wave, sharing art through four unique windows, with a depth and character that feels fresh and vital. There is great joy in listening to this band of lifelong friends, as they playfully meld their distinct musical personalities into one cohesive and beautiful voice.
