Live Music Schedule:
- Still House String Band @ 11 am
The Still House String Band is a bluegrass band with a pedal board addiction! Their original tunes will make you sing and covers will make you dance.
- Pixie & The Party Grass Boys @ 1 pm
Hailed as “the hottest band in the Wasatch” by the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association, Pixie and The Partygrass Boys is composed of lifelong professional musicians drawn together by a common love of bluegrass and skiing in the Wasatch. Featuring soulful, often harmonic vocals and solid strings and rhythm, this tight-knit crew was born out of the belly of a warm cabin after a long day on the slopes-drinking whiskey and singing into the night.
- The Brothers Comatose @ 3 pm
Whether traveling to gigs on horseback or by tour bus, Americana mavens The Brothers Comatose forge their own path with raucous West Coast renderings of traditional bluegrass, country and rock-n-roll music. The five-piece string band is anything but a traditional acoustic outfit with their fierce musicianship and rowdy, rock concert-like shows.
