Summit County celebrates end of seasons at Breckenridge, Copper resorts

#Summit County, Colorado.


Copper Sunsation weekend music continues Sunday, April 19, with daytime beats from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with DJ Landry, followed by live music with Oakhurst at 3 p.m. Whether tearing it up around Denver, traveling across the country or crossing the oceans, Oakhurst has been tapped to appear with a dizzying variety of fellow artists, ranging from jam-grass favorites such as Yonder Mountain String Band and Leftover Salmon to Americana staples like the Avett Brothers and John Hiatt to country icons such as Emmylou Harris and Lyle Lovett to flat-out rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

CLOSING-DAY SPECIALS AT BEAVER RUN RESORT BARS

The Stringdusters mine the past and look forward to the unknown.
Coppertop Bar, at the base of the Beaver Run SuperChair, will run a “Drink the Bar Dry” special before closing up for the summer.

FINISH THE SEASON AT BRECKENRIDGE WITH THE STRINGDUSTERS
The Infamous Stringdusters will close out the season at Breckenridge Ski Resort on Sunday, April 19, part of Breck Spring Fever.
The Infamous Stringdusters have proved they can both mine the past and look forward to the unknown, and their new album, “Let It Go,” is a touchstone for a group of tightly bonded musicians completely comfortable with one another and their collective identity.
Perhaps the sentiment is best expressed through the band’s five joined voices in the gospel-hued title track: “If it’s worry you’ve been feeling over things you can’t control, it’s time to let it go.” The free music starts at 2 p.m. The resort emphasizes that no dogs other than accredited service dogs will be allowed at the base of Peak 8 during the concert.
