Greensky Bluegrass
Friday, January 13
Saturday, January 14
Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quintet-Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]-have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North
America on successive tours, they recently sold out 3 nights at Red Rocks, a feat unheard of in their genre. During 2019, All For Money marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as "representing the genre for a whole new generation."
Umphrey's McGee 25 Birthday Bash
Friday, January 20
Saturday, January 21
In the twenty-four years since eclectic improv-rock band Umphrey's McGee formed, their sound has been an amalgamation of genres, moods, and tempos, effortlessly flowing from one feeling to the next throughout an album or concert-or sometimes within a singular song. But with time and repetition comes wisdom and maturity, both personally and musically, and in the case of the band's new album Asking For A Friend, Umphrey's McGee entered the recording studio with something to say and a wise, measured way to say it. The end result is an astoundingly cohesive fourteen-song album that feels like a fresh statement from a group of world-class musicians and friends reapproaching their craft with a new lens. But long-time fans will be happy to know that the Umphrey's McGee they know and love is still very much present on Asking For A Friend, just more refined. More focused.

The
Disco Biscuits
Thursday, March 23
Friday, March 24
Saturday, March 25
The
Disco Biscuits are an entirely different band today than they were when they first broke out of Philadelphia in the mid-90s. That's not to say that they've abandoned their foundation, switched gears or set sail for distant shores. The
Disco Biscuits are still very much the pioneers of "trancefusion," bridging the gap between electronic music and jam bands. They still remain rock pioneers whose soul belongs as much to marathon dance parties as it does to live improvisational journeys. They still employ emerging technologies to help them create music that is 100 percent human although, perhaps, not entirely of this earth.

Guster
Saturday, April 8
107.1 The Peak's 19th Birthday Show welcomes alt rock band Guster, to present their 8th album Look Alive.

After working with the late Richard Swift four years ago and discovering a more raw and vintage sound on Evermotion, the band has fully embraced studio production this time around.
Designed by celebrated architect
Thomas Lamb in 1926 and listed in The
National Register of Historic Places, The Capitol Theatre is located 30 miles from NYC. The 2,000-capacity theater, known as "the original rock palace," showcased legends such as Traffic, The Grateful Dead,
Black Sabbath, Chuck Berry,
David Bowie, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and The Rolling Stones. Jerry Garcia called it one of his two favorite venues in the USA. In 2012, the theatre underwent a major renovation under the guidance of music entrepreneur
Peter Shapiro. Since then, it has hosted major performers including Bob Dylan, Phil Lesh, Ringo Starr, Joan Baez, Skrillex, Bonnie Raitt, Snoop Dogg, Kacey Musgraves, The Strokes, Tom Petty, Cyndi Lauper, and Willie Nelson, as well as comedians like
Kevin Hart and Amy Schumer. The New York Times raves: "A rock theater that looks and sounds as good as the Capitol is something to celebrate." The Capitol's inner-sanctum bar and music club, Garcia's, was named for Jerry Garcia in partnership with his family. A venue of its own, Garcia's showcases local artists and nationally touring acts across the musical spectrum.
