Susan Gibson
Folk Rock / Folk / Country

Susan voice and song writing is so familiar, you know you’ve heard it before. Maybe you have, her song "Wide Open Spaces" was a massive hit for the Dixie Chicks and her platinum calling card to fame. Her new release, “New Dog, Old Tricks” is a nod to her faithful roadie and traveling companion Jezable, a portion of this record’s proceeds will benefit a non-profit of yet to be adopted population of rescued pets. Her song writing and voice tease descriptions, defies simple handles, you listen to her music and you feel it, you feel it, an edge, haunting, moodiness, resplendent simplicity; pop merriment with a pop rock twist.

Highlighted Upcoming Performance :: Friday 9/17 8:00

Sweet Sunny South Upper Arkansas Service Club Fundraiser
olde tyme bluegrass.

SSS is original yet traditional old time bluegrass. Based in Paonia, they tour to many of the finest festivals throughout Colorado and placed at the Rocky Grass band contest. Their performances are noted for their wry wit, solid musicianship, tight vocal harmonies and great song selections. Traditional old time fiddle tunes, driving mandolin instrumentals, classic vocal songs performed around a single mic from the likes of Hank Williams and Bill Monroe, interpretations of contemporary bands like Old Crow Medicine Show and the Wilders, as well as new original numbers produce a sound as though they were written long ago. The Upper Arkansas Service Club is committed to serving the Upper Arkansas River Valley. They focus on needs of community youth, provide financial assistance for vision and hearing impaired people and offer vision and hearing screening at the 9News Health Fair and annually at schools, and partner with other community groups such as Farm to Table, Salvation Army, Support our Salida Schools. A great cause, a great tyme. Not to be missed. Ticket on sale soon.
