SUMMARY:Alpenglow: Floodgate Operators
DESCRIPTION:Crested Butte\, CO based Floodgate Operators know a thing or two about getting the party started. Founded in 2018\, Floodgate Operators have grown from a dive bar bluegrass act to a force of original music and showmanship which has earned them praise throughout the Rocky Mountain West. The band has released three records\, Drought Driven Days (2020)\, Flood the World (2022)\, and After the Flood (2025) with each effort building on the collaborative nature of the band. The latest effort\, After the Flood\, highlights the growth in storytelling and songwriting prowess. From “Montana Drive-by” – a fast paced number draped traditional bluegrass about an unfortunate bear-mace incident on the road\, to “I Saw the Bird First (Not You)”\, an 8-minute jam-epic that rounds off the record\, one thing is certain – Floodgate Operators can take you on a cross country\, genre blending journey. Listen to Floodgate Operators’ newest record\, “After the Flood” on all streaming platforms!

SUMMARY:Alpenglow: Bella Rayne
DESCRIPTION:At just 18\, Bella Rayne is a self-taught guitarist\, vocalist\, and songwriter whose sound is quickly turning heads across the country. Born in the mountains of North Carolina and raised along the rugged coast of Mendocino\, California\, she blends rock and Americana with the improvisational spirit of the jam-band tradition\, creating a sound that feels both timeless and strikingly new\, bridging generations of listeners. Her journey began during the pandemic\, when she pulled an old Stratocaster from her garage\, fixed it up\, and taught herself to play by ear\, unlocking a voice and style entirely her own. She has since formed Bella Rayne Band\, a high-energy\, guitar-driven ensemble that has quickly become one of the most talked-about rising acts on the live circuit. Led by a young lineup of seasoned musicians\, the band has surged from small rooms to coast-to-coast stages and festival lineups in a remarkably short time\, with crowds growing at every stop. Their sets are explosive and ever-evolving\, blending soulful Southern rock\, modern Americana\, and improvisational jam with bold reinterpretations of Grateful Dead classics alongside BellaÕs own originals. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably new\, often described as the next generation of Tedeschi Trucks Band with an alternative edge and a 70s vibe. With demand building nationwide\, the band recently completed recording singles for an upcoming EP slated for release in 2026\, marking the next step in a trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down. Despite her young age\, Bella has already shared the stage with seasoned artists and respected bands. Appearances alongside Allman Betts Family Revival\, Melvin Seals & JGB\, ALO\, Jackie Greene\, Oteil Burbridge\, and members of Terrapin Family have all added to her early rŽsumŽ\, and she was touted as Òone to watchÓ by her idol\, Susan Tedeschi\, in a 2025 Guitar World Magazine interview. In addition\, she has been invited to iconic stages nationwide\, including The Fillmore SF\, The Orpheum LA\, Sweetwater Music Hall\, and The Hamilton\, and even celebrated her 18th birthday with a set on the Prudential Stage at Bottlerock Napa Festival. One of the most iconic moments of her rising career came when she was entrusted to play the legendary guitar known as ÒAlligator\,Ó once wielded by Jerry Garcia. That honor\, courtesy of the Grateful Guitars Foundation\, has become a defining chapter in BellaÕs journey. Guitar Player magazine recently recognized her as one of the players Òkeeping the Dead alive\,Ó alongside Jeff Mason (Dark Star Orchestra) and Tom Hamilton (JRAD)\, in an article from May 2025.

SUMMARY:Summer Classics in the Courtyard: The Devil’s Horn
DESCRIPTION:Join Madeline and Matt Shugert for an evening exploring the many voices of the saxophone\, one of music’s most versatile and historically polarizing instruments. Though often associated with jazz\, the saxophone has a rich place in classical music and traditions around the world. Through a program spanning Baroque transcriptions\, French Impressionist works\, and classic and modern jazz\, Madeline and Matt highlight the instrument’s remarkable range and dual identity. Based in Crested Butte\, Colorado\, Madeline Shugert is a saxophonist\, educator\, and adjunct lecturer of woodwinds at Western Colorado University\, with degrees from Indiana University and the University of Colorado and extensive teaching experience in Shanghai. Matt Shugert is a multi-instrumentalist\, educator\, and composer whose work spans jazz performance\, composition\, and saxophone ensemble writing\, with music premiered internationally and recognized by the Jazz Education Network. Together\, they bring deep artistry\, scholarship\, and a shared passion for the saxophone’s expressive possibilities.

SUMMARY:Alpenglow: The Motet
DESCRIPTION:Formed over two decades ago\, the funk six-piece The Motet have learned to work as an interlocking unit\, with each member bolstering one another towards the best creative output. This symbiosis has led to a unique style and cohesive musical chemistry\, as seen in the band’s immaculate live performances and seamless blend of funk\, soul\, jazz\, and rock. With a fervent fanbase in tow\, The Motet have sold out shows across the nation\, performed six headlining slots at Red Rocks\, and sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo\, Bottlerock\, Electric Forest\, Bumbershoot\, Summer Camp\, and High Sierra. But even after their 20+ years of accolades and recognition\, the legendary outfit-composed of Dave Watts (drums)\, Joey Porter (keys)\, Garrett Sayers (bass)\, Drew Sayers (keys and saxophone)\, Ryan Jalbert (guitar)\, and new singer Sarah Clarke-are still exploring new sonic ideas and finding new ways to showcase each other’s skill sets. The band released All Day in 2023-an eclectic instrumental voyage threaded by the infectious grooves and immaculate\, layered arrangements that The Motet have become known for. Now\, with vocal powerhouse Sarah Clarke in tow\, the band continues their journey with their highly anticipated 10th studio album Love Time\, out November 15\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Alpenglow: JD Clayton
DESCRIPTION:The Fort Smith Arkansas native\, JD Clayton\, released his debut album Long Way From Home\, early last year which has received overwhelming critical acclaim. There’s no artifice surrounding the Arkansas-born singer and songwriter. No glitz. No pretension or mythology. JD Clayton’s sound\, and where he chooses to make it-Arkansas\, the most western of the southern states- is a bridge between the southern rock on which he was raised\, and the truth telling tradition from the 70s era of country music that he most favors. As a result\, the songs on his thrilling new album Blue Sky Sundays\, feel both lived in and completely free. Like any great songwriter\, Clayton is both leader and follower\, telling his own story but reveling in how it unfolds in live time and relates to listeners individually. “The album is about clarity. It’s about leaving the things that let us down behind\,” Clayton says. “It’s about love and family and joy. It took me about four months of being sober to have a clear enough head to process this. I think I finally understand that piece of the puzzle at least.”

From the southern plains of Texas\, Rattlesnake Milk summons the sound of the prairie\, mimicking the howl of coyotes and the pulsing rhythm of a lonesome junk train. While farming cotton for a family friend\, Lou Lewis found inspiration to record an eight-song demo listening to the classics played on KDAV 1590AM in the empty flatlands of his hometown. Those demos paid homage to Lou’s favorite Dust Bowl migrant songs and haunted melodic gems from the 50s and 60s. Now\, with the help of Corey Alvarez\, and Andrew Chavez\, Rattlesnake Milk captures the ephemeral soundscape of the Texas panhandle in the studio and on the stage. https://rattlesnakemilk.com/

SUMMARY:Alpenglow:  John King
DESCRIPTION:ÒEveryone has fallen in love\,Ó says King. ÒEveryoneÕs had a broken heart. Everyone knows what it feels like to start growing up. I want to create music that speaks to people\, so I write songs about the experiences we all share.Ó Raised in the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia\, John King listened to a wide range of musicians Ñsouthern rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Black Crowes\, classic craftsmen like James Taylor and Johnny Cash\, and Õ90s country stars like Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson Ñ and worked construction jobs as a teenager. When he wasnÕt pouring rocks at the worksite or studying in the classroom\, he was usually at home\, writing lyrics into his spiral-bound notebook and strumming his newly-written songs on an acoustic guitar. By 16 years old\, he was writing multiple songs every week\, often auditioning them for his friends around the campfire. ÒA lot of those early songs were horrible\,Ó he remembers with a laugh\, Òbut if IÕve learned anything about writing songs\, itÕs the fact that the more songs you write\, the better you get. I kept at it. I wrote a lot. By the time I came to Nashville\, I already had a strong grasp on the structure of a good song\, and that served me well once I got in the writing room with other songwriters.Ó Served him well\, indeed. Since relocating to Tennessee\, KingÕs steady climb toward the top of the country music mainstream has been full of milestones. HeÕs become a Number 1 songwriter\, penning Randy HouserÕs chart-topping ÒWe WentÓ (which earned him a 2016 ASCAP Songwriter Award) and writing Hootie and The BlowfishÕs ÒRollinÓ (the bandÕs first song to be released since 2005). HeÕs become a road warrior\, too\, playing an average of 150 shows annually while building his audience one gig at a time. Most importantly\, King has begun telling his own story through music\, launching his solo career with ÒTonight TonightÓ Ñ a Top 40 hit whose anthemic chorus was heard everywhere from country radio to the weekly NFL recaps on CBS Ñ and releasing his first full-length album with 2021Õs Always Gonna Be You. Always Gonna Be You takes its listeners into the writing room\, where the albumÕs 11 songs Ñ from ÒTry Saying GoodbyeÓ (already a crowd favorite and viral hit\, with more than 18 million streams) to the acoustic ÒPrettiest Girl in the RoomÓ Ñ were first recorded as demos. King wanted to preserve the raw charm of those homemade recordings\, many of which had been tracked mere minutes after the songs were written. Rather than re-record each song in a traditional studio\, he co-produced Always Gonna Be You with his large group of co-writers and collaborators\, using his demos as the foundation for the finished tracks. The result is a country album filled with modern-day twang\, heartland hooks\, and the same diversity that imbued the music King grew up loving. ÒCountry music is really exciting right now\, because artists are blurring the lines\,Ó he says. ÒYou donÕt have to fit into one category. When I step back and listen to these songs\, I hear southern rock\, country\, and pop. I hear me. I donÕt know what else to call it. ItÕs just me.Ó Driving home that personal touch is the albumÕs storyline\, which follows King from his teenage years Ñ back when he installed fireplaces and walkaways\, sang songs by the campfire\, and began dating the girl who would later become his wife Ñ to his modern-day existence. ItÕs a story of romance and real life. A story thatÕs both fresh and familiar\, filled with details weÕve all experienced: the rush of a new relationship\, the brink of a breakup\, and the thrill of falling in love. With his relatable lyrics and cinematic songwriting\, John King has tapped into something thatÕs intimately personal yet also bigger than himself. ÒThereÕs a flow to the album\,Ó says King\, an old-school music fan who still remembers the childhood joy of playing a record from top to bottom\, experiencing the album the way its artist intended. ÒThereÕs an autobiographical narrative about me and my wife\, and it unfolds chronologically. At the beginning\, weÕre a pair of high-school sweethearts who fall in love. In the middle of the record\, we go through some tough moments. Toward the end\, the record settles into things I feel now\, and the lessons IÕve learned. We have a beautiful family together. We have a daughter. IÕve found myself Ñ not only as an artist\, but as a person.Ó Call it a soundtrack to self-discovery. Call it a coming-of-age story\, performed by a southern son whose country twang is matched by his pop hooks. Whatever the description\, Always Gonna Be You is proof thereÕs a new King in town

All live series openers are provided in partnership with the Gunnison Valley Music Association. Food and beverage will be served during the event.

The Itals are a Jamaican reggae vocal group formed in 1976 by Alvin “Keith” Porter\, Lloyd Ricketts\, and Ronnie Davis (formerly a member of The Tennors)\, all of whom had previously also recorded as solo artists. All three had worked together in the late 1960s in The Westmorelites. The group recorded several albums through the late 1970s and 1980s\, with Ronnie Davis going on to a successful solo career in 1997 as Ronnie Davis and Idren. The Itals’ debut single\, “In A Dis Ya Time”\, is regarded as the group’s finest work\, and topped the Jamaican chart. 1987’s Rasta Philosophy was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Reggae Album. The line-up has changed over the years\, with former solo artist David Isaacs joining in 1987 when Ricketts was sentenced to a prison term\, preventing him from traveling to the United States. Davis left the group in 1994\, and was replaced by Porter’s daughter Kada.
