The Black Canyon Ramblers band is based out of the Gunnison Valley of Colorado, home to one of the most spectacular geological formations in the United States: the Black Canyon. The Ramblers specialize in traditional bluegrass, folk, country, and Americana acoustic music and have played numerous venues such as the I-Bar Ranch in Gunnison, the Mallardi Theatre, and Zuni West Brewing in Crested Butte. BCR has opened for the L’il Smokies, The Wailers, Floodgate Operators, and The Fretliners.
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!
