Mountain Jam Live at Public House
Based in Crested Butte, Mountain Jam brings the timeless music of The Allman Brothers Band to life with a stellar cast of local players. Featuring Gene James and Casey Falter on vocals and guitars, Alex Fenlon on bass, Michael Schmidt on keys and organ, and Andrew Buergin on drums, the band leans into rich harmonies, dual guitar work and deep grooves. Formed in the summer of 2025, Mountain Jam was created to honor and celebrate the Allmans’ legacy of improvisation and dynamic live performance. With a deep respect for the originals and a commitment to the jam, they channel the spirit of the source material while adding their own feel and energy. Always evolving, always listening, and always stretching the songs in the moment, Mountain Jam delivers high energy jams, soulful Southern rock, and a faithful yet fresh take on classic tunes. Their shows capture both the spirit of the past and the excitement of right now, offering an authentic and unforgettable live music experience in the heart of Elk Avenue.
