Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band

$50
Gunnison Sunset

The Center turns 38 this December and we’re celebrating Springsteen style. Black tees, tight jeans, and Hank Azaria & the EZ Street Band live on stage. Join us at 6:30pm to kick off the celebration with specialty priced cocktails and free food! Acclaimed actor and voice artist Hank Azaria (The Simpsons, Brockmire, The Birdcage) brings his joyful, full-tilt tribute to Bruce Springsteen to the stage with The EZ Street Band. What began as a surprise for his 60th birthday has evolved into a high-energy, theatrical performance that channels the spirit, sound, and storytelling of The Boss – with Azaria staying in character from the first note to the last. Backed by a powerhouse band of world-class musicians, this is a night of rock ’n roll, laughter, and Springsteen-inspired soul you won’t want to miss.

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!
