All amazing shows!!! And Douglas and Heather at the ROCC event at Ridgway State Park - Colorado State Parks. How to be in 4 places at once???

🎶 BIG NIGHT FOR LIVE MUSIC IN RIDGWAY! 🎶

Three great shows. Three great venues. One amazing little town.

Tonight we’ve got:

🌲 Organtic at Floating Lotus Brewery – 7 PM
🍻 Flannel Feedback at Colorado Boy Depot – 4–8 PM
🎷 High Step Society at The Sherbino – 7:30 PM

Seeing this much talent in Ridgway is something worth celebrating. Just a few years ago, a night like this would have been hard to imagine in our little town.

At the same time, nights like these remind us how important it is for all of us—venues, promoters, and music lovers—to keep communicating and working together. We’re a small town with a huge music scene, and when we coordinate our calendars, everybody wins: bigger crowds, stronger venues, happier artists, and an even better experience for our community.

No matter where you end up tonight, get out and support live music. Here’s to continuing to grow something special together. ❤️🎶

Ridgway is heading into one of those weeks where you accidentally become “a person who has plans every day AND night.” 🎶🚂🌅🎤
In the next few days alone, you could:
• sip cocktails on a rooftop while James O. Patterson plays sunset tunes at Chipeta
• scream-sing karaoke at Steps Tavern
• catch gritty, sweat-soaked rock & roll with The Yawpers at the Sherbino
• settle into the Courtyard at 610 for GOLDPINE’s gorgeous Americana harmonies
• ride a historic train for free
• learn archery at Ridgway State Park
• do yoga in the park and pretend you’re emotionally balanced
• or end up at open mic night clapping wildly for someone named Dave who just performed a seven-minute banjo solo
Meanwhile: trivia, music bingo, Pilates, meditation, art exhibits, library summer chaos with shaved ice and used books, teen takeover night at Voyager, Flannel Feedback, Coral Skye, Wowsers, and enough live music around town that you can basically follow your ears.
This is the season of running one quick errand downtown and somehow ending up with concert tickets, iced tea on a patio, and three new weekend plans.
Get the full lineup at OurayRidgwayEvents.com 🎤📚🌅
