Featuring a lineup of up-and-coming and returning favorite acts, each concert is capped at a comfortable 100 guests. Most shows offer a mix of VIP cabaret-style and general admission seating, and a great selection of adult beverages will always be available for donation. Join us for a fun night out, surrounded by art in our beautiful mountain gallery, listening to a fantastic array of musical talent!

Join us for the second installment of our Gallery Concert Series as “May Be Fern” hits the stage with their fun, upbeat energy.

Long-standing friendships and diverse artistic endeavors brought Hannah, Kate, and Madi together to form May Be Fern. Drawing from their eclectic musical backgrounds, the trio crafts a distinctive sound that fuses funk and rock. Their debut album, ‘Okay Grandma, Your Turn’, celebrated for its innovative approach and infectious energy, garnered critical acclaim, establishing them as a fresh voice in the music scene. With their dynamic rhythms and engaging melodies, May Be Fern is poised to captivate audiences of all ages and redefine their genre.

John Erlandson’s Minnesota upbringing had him singing and playing guitar at age 15 in youth camps and church services. Before long, he would be writing “spiritual songs,” teaching, and leading worship bands in Minneapolis churches. But, not satisfied with merely “preaching to the choir,” he moved to Colorado and soon took his music, lyrical lucidity and melodic magic into the mainstream. In ’95, after attending the heralded Song School in Lyons, CO, John began writing songs to play in coffeehouses, bars and even right out in the street. Initiating the “street music” movement in Evergreen, CO led to regular gigs at the world-famous Little Bear Saloon where he collaborated with many of Denver’s finest musicians and opened for such national acts as The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and David Wilcox. On ‘Ready For your Heart,’ released in ‘03 and recorded by John and his “Mostly Pretty Random All-Stars,” one hears the musical influences of James Taylor, John Denver, and Scottish folk-icon, Dougie MacLean. His recent ’06 release, ‘These Things Matter’ picks up traces of Bob Dylan and Jackson Browne, but the songwriting and melody line is distinctly John’s.”
