Please consider adding an additional contribution to your ticket, and help us protect PLAY FOR ALL!

The BIG SUMMER BASH is made possible by grant funding from the Town of Mt. Crested Butte.

Black Canyon Boys

The Black Canyon Boys are a mountain grass trio, born right in the heart of the San Juans. The group formed in 2023 like a bolt of lightning crashing down upon the high desert landscape. Continuing to push the proverbial genre defining boundaries of what it means to perform bluegrass, the band proves that their music is not fit to be boxed in and that they have something uniquely their own to offer the world. Continuing to write new material at a consistent rate, the trio are preparing to take to the studio in 2024 to record their debut body of work.

Mojo Birds

The Mojo Birds are an electric flock of songwriters. This is some Funky Modern Roots Music. Think The Band, a touch of Al Green, and a healthy dose of Afro-Peruvian Mojo.
