Alpenphunk26: Krasno Moore Project

Alpenphunk is an annual celebration of music, mountains, and skiing, set in the heart of Crested Butte, Colorado, taking place the last weekend of January. Since its inception in 2022, Alpenphunk has grown into Colorado’s premier micro-festival, providing an unparalleled experience that blends world-class live music with the area’s rich mountain culture. Each year, the festival proudly features an “artist in residence”, an influential musician who curates the weekend and leads one-of-a-kind collaborations with other renowned artists.

From the electrifying sounds of funk, reggae, and afro-beat to genre-blurring performances that defy expectations, Alpenphunk showcases musicians from across the globe. The intimate, small-scale nature of the event allows festival-goers to enjoy performances up close, with unexpected musical moments that happen only at Alpenphunk.

Centered at the iconic Crested Butte Public House and partnered with the Crested Butte Center for the Arts, Alpenphunk offers much more than just a festival—it’s a fully immersive, communal experience. Attendees can explore Crested Butte’s legendary ski slopes during the day and dive into incredible live music each night, all while being part of a vibrant community of music lovers and outdoor adventurers. Whether you’re a returning fan or a first-time visitor, Alpenphunk promises a weekend filled with exhilarating skiing, soulful music, and unforgettable moments.

Join us for an incredible journey of sound, slopes, and once-in-a-lifetime performances at the unique crossroads of music and mountain adventure.

The Krasno Moore Project is a dynamic collaboration between two of modern music’s most revered voices: Grammy-winning guitarist and producer Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce) and powerhouse drummer Stanton Moore (Galactic). Melding deep New Orleans funk with the gritty soul of East Coast groove, the project explores expansive sonic territory while remaining deeply rooted in rhythm, feel, and improvisation.

Having shared stages and studios for years, Krasno and Moore bring a rare chemistry to the live setting, balancing tight arrangements with explosive improvisational freedom. Their performances often feature a rotating cast of top-tier musicians, creating a fresh and spontaneous experience at every show.

With both artists bringing decades of musical innovation to the table, the Krasno Moore Project is more than just a collaboration, it’s a celebration of groove, community, and the power of live music to move bodies and souls alike.
