Oktoberfest at Zuni West Brewing. The Tenny Men are a Denver-based band who have been bringing high energy rock covers and originals to the masses since 2021. The boys (men) rip classic rock tunes, sing the blues, and groove funky jams. Their zesty sauce draws from a variety of influences, from the Grateful Dead and the Beatles to Black Sabbath and the Black Keys. They bring personality and new takes to these classics, but continue to progress into their own unique sound with several originals working their way into the set. Make sure to stretch and drink plenty of water before the show because Tenny Men shows are a party!
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!
