Bluegrass Sundays: Missed The Boat in Aspen!

Bluegrass Sundays are one of my favorite Aspen events, but this weekend is going to be even better with Missed the Boat playing on top of Aspen Mountain.

This Sunday from noon to 3pm, ride the Silver Queen Gondola to the top of the mountain to experience breathtaking views, awesome food & drink and the unforgettable music from Missed the Boat!
Okay can you tell I’m a fan?

But this is why…This killer band from Steamboat Springs, CO (get the name?) throw down awesome unique Americana-rock, dancing blend of bluegrassy sounds. Most of their play list consists of original songs written by the band with a few great covers.

With the recent recording of their debut album “Rollin,” Missed the Boat have been acquiring devoted listeners at live shows and over the airwaves throughout Colorado with their unique sound. Featuring acoustic guitar, mandolin, electric mandolin, tenor banjo, electric bass, drums, and harmonica, the band produces the energy infused, positive, upbeat sound that radio listeners deserve and concertgoers love.

Missed the Boat was recently nominated for the 2010 Grammy's in 4 categories. From lonesome high country bluegrass to Americana-fed rock n' roll, this is a music experience you will not want to miss.

“It’s that new country. It’s not that twangy country that has been out there for years, but it’s got a really great sound to it, a sound that all ages will listen to and not get bored with,” Paula Mengarelli said (singer songwriter who nominated the band for the Grammys). “It was a very tight sound.”

Listen to Missed the Boat's sweet tunes at their website.
