It’s official, summer has hit Snowmass in full force. The blanket of white powder is quickly diminishing and providing the nestled village with lush colors from the blooming vegetation. Our weekends may even seem to start a bit earlier now, as Fanny Hill will once again be transformed into an ideal venue for concert-goers.
Whether you’re wearing ski boots or flip-flops, tradition surrounds Snowmass year round. This summer-long event is no exception. Organized by the Town of Snowmass Village, the music series is celebrating its 17th season, and is one of the many summer favorites as far as experiencing the mountain-life culture. It’s virtually a melting pot of the valley’s residents and travelers, young and old, coming together for one particular reason – music.
Thursday marks Snowmass’ opening night for the Free Music Series, where the Drew Emmit Band will showcase their blugrass/jam band style of tunes. With one of the nation’s premier mandolin players in house, Fanny Hill is expected to draw in the thousands of locals and visitors alike.
“I’ve been looking forward to the Thursday night concerts since the end of the ski season,” said 25-year old Snowmass local, Jeff Tenorio. “It’s always a good time no matter what band is playing, and you couldn’t ask for a better place to see a show. Plus it’s free, that never hurts.”
Although the BYOB policy has changed in the recent years, of-age concert -goers will be able to purchase (and afford) drinks within the venue. However, feel free to bring in a picnic basket or back pack for snacks and unopened refreshments (non-alcoholic).
Here’s the line up:
• June 26- Drew Emmit Band- Jam Band Style
• July 3- Freddy Jones Band- A mix of blues, rock and folk tunes
• July 10- Gaelic Storm- Traditional Irish melodies meets fresh original beats
• July 17- Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks- Swing, jazz, folk and country
• July 24- Ruthie Foster- This Texan’s voice has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin
• July 31- Bonerama- A New Orleans band that has been recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine and Offbeat, for their untraditional style of funk
• August 7- Great American Taxi- From Boulder, this is the leftovers from Leftover Salmon, headed by Vince Herman
• August 14- Robben Ford- This acclaimed guitarist offers a diverse number of sounds. He has won four Grammys, and excels in blues music
• August 21- Big Sandy & His Fly Rite Boys- A well balanced mix of American roots music, swing and country.
