June 27 – Erik Stucky Band

July 11 – Bourbon Street Brass Band 

Bourbon Brass Band is a Colorado musical ensemble of horns and drums, playing traditional street jazz in the traditional New Orleans “second line” style. 

July 18 – Easy Honey 

Easy Honey’s witty melodies, dotted with catchy hooks, serve as anthems of nostalgia for their indie rock audiences. The group infuses its singer-songwriter folk roots with an original blend of East Coast surf-rock, catalyzed by the band’s relocation to the up-and-coming Charleston, SC music scene.  

July 25 – Danger Mountain 

A Local favorite, Danger Mountain is a five-piece string band that creates a progressive bluegrass sound by blending traditional instrumentation with modern genres and styles. Since forming Eagle in 2022, they’ve built an energized and growing fan base with their dynamic repertoire, creative musical approach, and experimental live performances.

Born out of the 2020 quarantine, Hand Turkey is a groove music band from Fort Collins. With a full three-piece brass section, they provide Colorado audiences with high-energy, low-volume groove music to spice up the summer night vibe that Eagle County is known for. 

August 8 – The Jeremy Facknitz Band 
Award-winning singer-songwriter Jeremy Facknitz entertains nationwide audiences with his lovingly crafted music and high-energy performances. While the Colorado Springs resident performs primarily solo, this concert will include his 6-piece band, marrying the folk-rock and jazz stylings he is known for. 

August 15 – Winchester Road

Colorado’s own Winchester Road embodies country music’s timeless spirit. The band seamlessly blends classic, ’90s, and contemporary country with Red Dirt and Southern Rock influences. This series finale concert promises an unforgettable night of country tunes and dance-floor magic.
