Free
The Music on the Mountain series returns! Sons of Habit will take the stage on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Join us at the Red Lady Stage in the Crested Butte Mountain Resort Base Area for free live music. Sam Heart will open at 5:30 pm. All live series openers are provided in partnership with the Gunnison Valley Music Association. Food and beverage will be served during the event. Grab your camp chairs and blankets and make plans to join us on the lawn! Sons of Habit gets their name from the trailer where the band started making music on a piece of land in Habit, KY. The band’s organic beginnings can be heard in their music and felt in their live show, where they exude a natural chemistry. Although they’ve only been a band for less than a year, the members have a deep-rooted history, all growing up in Owensboro, KY. Since releasing their first single “Madeline” in July 2024, the band has racked up millions of streams and has played shows nationwide, opening for the likes of Ole 60 and Shane Smith & the Saints.
