Little Feat in Winter Park, CO

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Chris

Little Feat Live at the Solshine Music Fest

The Solshine Music Festival this year at Hideaway Park will be featuring Little Feat as the headliner.

Little Feat is an American rock band formed by singer-songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist Lowell George and keyboardist Bill Payne in 1969 in Los Angeles.

Although the band has undergone several changes in its lineup, the music remains an eclectic blend of rock and roll, blues, R&B, boogie, country, folk, gospel, soul, funk and jazz fusion influences. Lowell died in 1979 but the group has been around since then performing some of their classics such as Willin’, Dixie Chicken and Fat Man in the Bathtub.

Also, appearing at the Solshine Music Festival will be The Samples as the opening act and unnamed second act that should make for a great show. The Solshine Fest will be on July 14th, 2012 from 12pm to 6pm.

Tickets to the Solshine Music Festival featuring Little Feat will be free for general admission. VIP passed and other seating options will be available and will be able to be purchased through the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce.

If you are looking to get the best lodging for the Solshine Music Festival make sure to book early. Winter Park Lodging Company has some great lodging options within both walking and listening distance to the stage at Hideaway Park in Winter Park, CO. Little Feat will be a big draw though so make sure to book your book early to get your choice of lodging.

The blues are BACK in Winter Park!

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Chris

If you’re a fan of the fantastic live Blues shows that Grand County Blues Society hosts in Winter Park, it’s been a long couple of months for you waiting for the next show. We’re in luck though: this FRIDAY, November 11th at 9PM, Smokin’ Moes welcomes back Samantha Fish and Kate Moss for a night of rockin’ blues! Samantha Fish will be jamming on her guitar as if she’s been playing for a liftetime instead of less than a decade, and will be accompanied by special guest Kate Moss. We’ll likely hear a lot of music off Samantha’s first solo album released in April, called Runaway.

American Blues News reviewed one of her songs, 4 Non-Blondes, as being part Rolling Stones, part John Lee Hooker, and part Dukes of Hazzard car chase. In other words, Samantha knows how to play the blues, and we’re guaranteed another amazing show this Friday. Kate Moss will certainly only add to the party; she’s no stranger to the guitar herself. With these two on stage together, be ready to dance.

One added bonus: the Blues Society is kind enough to appreciate Verteran’s Day at the show, so any Verteran plus one guest will get into the show FREE! Guess what else? If you’re a guest of Winter Park Lodging Company, mention it at the door and your ticket will be on the house too! If you didn’t book with us this time, your ticket is $10, but it’s for a good cause: the Grand County Blues Society is a non-profit, so all the cash they collect at the door goes toward keeping Blues in the School and Blue Star Connection successful programs. Plus, our donations and ticket purchases help us to to keep bringing great live blues music back to Winter Park as often as we can. So, after you’re done waxing your skis for the early opening of Winter Park Resort this Saturday, come out to Smokin’ Moes for a great night with us. Want to make a weekend out of it? Give Winter Park Lodging Company a call to set up your lodging, lift tickets, ski rentals, and some free tickets to a great show!

Summer Concert Series in Winter Park, Colorado

Posted on June 18, 2011 by Chris

High-Note Thursday Music at Hideaway Park High Note Thursday Winter Park CO

Summer has arrived and the High-Note Thursday music series in Hideaway Park is ready for some outdoor sounds under the peaks. This coming week we have Nick Moss and Friends on June 23rd. The High-Note Music Series is a free event put on by the Winter Park/Fraser Chamber of Commerce that is a great time for locals and guests alike. Chairs and music are provided with food and beverages allowed. So pack up a picnic, bottle of wine or two and head out to Hideaway Parkfor some great tunes with friends. There is not a cheaper, better time to be had here in Winter Park.

Here is the rest of the lineup for Thursday Music in the Park:

June 30: Opie Gone Bad

July 7: Kory Brunson Band

July 14: Red June

July 21: Jack Hadley Band

July 28: Andy Hackbarth Band (special performance by Due West)

August 4: Slopeside

August 11: Hunker Down

On July 14th our friends from North Carolina, Red June, will be playing in Hideaway Park and I recommend you come and see one of the hottest Americana Acoustic bands in the country. Here is what one music critic is saying about Red June:

“I've listened to and reviewed a lot of new releases during the past year and I have to put Red June’s right at the top. I'm not kidding. At the top. This is absolutely the best new music I've heard in many a moon." -David Belknap, Peterborough Folk Music Society

The Red June sound is as versatile and original as the musicians themselves; they touch on bluegrass, roots rock, and traditional country music with powerful harmonies, innovative songwriting and expert musicianship. Collectively, Will Straughan, Natalya Weinstein and John Cloyd Miller have shared the stage with countless bluegrass and Americana greats such as James Taylor, Sam Bush, Joe Craven, Jim Lauderdale, Del McCoury, Alice Gerrard, Jim Shumate and B.B. King and have performed at festivals across the country including RockyGrass, Grey Fox, Merlefest, Grand Targhee, MagnoliaFest and Shakori Hills.

Make a plan and come out to hear some great music up here high in the Rocky Mountains. All the bands are great but you should not miss Red June.

Winter Park Music Festival – Free!

Posted on August 3, 2010 by Chris

Winter Park CO free summer music festival Rock Fest at Winter Park, CO

The Winter Park Music Festival is this weekend Saturday August 7th at Hideaway Park. The festival is featuring Night Ranger, Pat Travers and The Groove Hogs. Yes, a little bit nostalgic but the show is free and who can’t sin along with “sister Christian now the time has come”. Whew, brings me right back to high school in 1984.

The weather in Winter Park is just about perfect right now and you can’t beat live music under the mountain tops listening to some rockin’ tunes.

Come on up and enjoy a day of Music, Food, Beer Pavilion, Vendors and Fun. 103.5 The Fox brings a GREAT line-up of music and fun. Gates and Vendors open at 10 am for this FREE EVENT!

Book your lodging with Winter Park Lodging Company and get free VIP tickets to the show. The VIP package includes:
• Access to Chair Seating close to the stage
• 2 FREE Beverages
• A chance to win tickets to the Backstage Meet and Greet Party
• A FREE Festival T-Shirt

Again headlining is Night Ranger:

Night Ranger left an indelible mark with a string of best-selling albums that sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. The band’s popularity was fueled by an impressive string of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks, including “Sister Christian,” “(You Can Still) Rock In America,” “When You Close Your Eyes,” “Sentimental Street,” “Goodbye” and “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me.” Harnessing the frenetic drive of heavy metal to hook-laden rock songs, throwing in a stunning twin lead guitar team, and melodious, radio-friendly power ballads, Night Ranger inspired new descriptive phrases such as “melodic metal” and “metal power pop”. They became the standard-bearer of a new sound.

Free music, beer, all in the mountains. Sounds like a great weekend.
