A four-piece Neo-Soul/Jazz Funk Fusion group based in Durango, Colorado featuring Evan Stambler on Drums, Gabe Neymark on Keys, Jay Harootunian on Bass, and Eli Emmitt on guitar and vocals. Filled to the brim with jazzy transitions, soulful vocals, and spacey jams. The Eli Emmitt Band grew from Eli’s passion and songwriting into a band that will get you up off your seat.
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!
