Join us as we celebrate our 37th summer with an evening filled with live music from Erinys Quartet, and your choice of beers, spirits, cocktails, or wine. Voted Steamboat’s best bar in 2022 (and runner-up in 2023), The Barley is donating a portion of the night’s proceeds to support the ongoing festivities at Strings Music Festival! Erinys Quartet at the Hayden Granary
Venture west to the charming Hayden Granary for an exclusive performance by the Erinys Quartet! Enjoy a delightful mix of local craft beers from Yampa Valley Brewing Company, freshly brewed coffee from Wild Goose Coffee, and handcrafted pizzas from Embers Pizza, and experience the unique charm of this historic gathering place, all while supporting Hayden’s historic preservation efforts! Music on the Green Returns with new evening concerts! Begin your Wednesdays the best way possible: with a morning beverage and live music at the stunning Yampa River Botanic Park! Join us every Wednesday morning this summer for our weekly free concert series, Music on the Green, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park. With concerts lasting just 45 minutes, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a summer morning! This season, we’re also introducing two special evening concerts to celebrate another season of Music on the Green!. Be sure to pack a picnic and bring your loved ones to these new evening events, the finale this year features the Deer Creek Sharp Shooters and an array of local food trucks! To kick-off the 2024 Music on the Green Series we have Carolyn Berns and John Fog! Carolyn is a classically trained acoustic and electric violinist. Performing with professional orchestras around the country as well as recording studios, vocals and violin have been her life as long as she can remember. John picked up the guitar while working on a ranch 30 miles outside Pinedale, Wyoming. With no electricity and few distractions on the ranch, he dedicated the evening hours to learning. He now plays a blend of covers and originals in the Americana vein. Jon and Randy met at a Jam night in 1994. They played together in Greg Scott’s Smokehouse band in 1998 and eventually with the Worried Men in 2001 at the Old Town Pub. The Worried Men had a good run of Friday nights at Mahogany Ridge from 2003 until 2009 and then took a break to spend time with families. Jon and Randy realized they had a similar taste for offbeat songs, old swing tunes, and just about anything different from the average fare heard in bars. Chamberlin Birch, a duo made up of singer-songwriters Jody Feeley and Brad Rasmussen, features a unique style with tight harmonies and creative instrumentation. Based in Steamboat Springs, Chamberlin Birch have taken the Americana/folk sound of the mountains and made it their own. Along with writing their own music, they bring their unique style to cover songs from a range of genres. They affectionately call their style “indie core alt country pop,” a tribute to their versatility. With a style that reflects the American landscape, Trevor G. Potter’s songs hold a certain plain-spoken truth that touch on common themes of people and places. He has produced three CD’s of acclaimed original music Curbside Vacancy, Potter County and Points Far Beyond and A Cumulative Collection of Song and Session. A strong string of major national festival appearances headlining and opening shows have helped to create his solid reputation as a live performer. The Erinys Quartet appears by special arrangement with Curtis on Tour, the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music. Named for the Erinys (a.k.a. the Furies) from the Greek tragedy Oresteia by Aeschylus, and with roots in Estonia, Lithuania, Greece, the United States, and Finland, the Erinys Quartet was founded in 2018 at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki where they worked closely with cellist Marko Ylönen. Since Autumn 2023, Erinys has been the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet-in-Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, PA (USA). During the 2023-2024 season the Erinys Quartet presented concerts around the world, including the United States, Spain, Austria, and Finland. In addition to their studies at Curtis with the Dover Quartet, Erinys is pursuing a diploma in chamber music at Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain under the tutelage of Professor Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet). The Little Moon Travelers blend folk, old-time, and roots Americana influences to produce a sound that harkens to times past. The band took shape in a local hideaway called Little Moon Trail in the hills of Steamboat Springs. During the covid lockdown, these musicians gathered around the fire pit with their instruments. These unrehearsed get-togethers helped them and many others ward off the restlessness we all felt. The informal strumming sessions invited those listening to put aside their worries and connect more freely with each other in the present moment. They are thrilled to bring to the world their brand of live roots music. This week’s featured artist is local singer-songwriter Rachel Melby, equipped with her sultry, enigmatic lyrics and acoustic guitar. Please join us for two evening concerts to celebrate another summer of Music on the Green, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park. For our first evening performance, Opera Steamboat will present a preview of their world premiere production of Welcome to the Madness by composer Leanna Kirchoff with a libretto by Rachel J. Peters. This performance will run August 22-25. Welcome to the Madness is a roaming vocal theater adventure about Charlotte Perry, Portia Mansfield, and the founding of the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp in Steamboat. This immersive production was commissioned by Opera Steamboat. For information on their full performance later this summer, visit operasteamboat.org for ticket information. Pack a picnic, bring the family and head on down to the Yampa River Botanic Park to celebrate another year of Music on the Green, co-presented by the Yampa River Botanic Park! The season finale features live music from Deer Creek Sharp Shooters and food trucks. The Deer Creek Sharp Shooters were formed in 2012 in Harford County, MD by six friends who came together with a common love for bluegrass and a dream to push the limits of acoustic music. Based in Steamboat Springs and Denver, Colorado since 2016, DCSS has found their stride within the incredible bluegrass community. The Sharp Shooters put on high-energy and fun-loving shows, jumping quickly from high-paced bluegrass to goofy songs about cats. The energy on stage when these guys get together is infectious.
