This performance is the culmination of the Aspen Music Festival and School and TACAW’s first Collective Composition Workshop. \n\n\n\nAbout the Program \n\n\n\nThe Collective Composition Workshop invites students in grades 4-12 to come together for an intensive\, week-long creative process. Centered on student voice and leadership\, the workshop encourages participants to explore themes that matter to them and to express their experiences through sound. Guided by professional musicians who have honed this educational approach with young artists nationwide\, students nurture their innate creativity and build confidence as collaborators while composing an original piece of music together. \n\n\n\nSupported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts\, this year’s creative process was inspired by the America250 youth essay prompt: “What does America mean to you?” The resulting composition belongs entirely to the students and often reaches beyond what they typically encounter in traditional music lessons. This performance showcases that artists of all ages and abilities can contribute meaningfully to the future of American music. \n\n\n\nAbout the Aspen Music Festival and School \n\n\n\nWEBSITE \n\n\n\nFounded in 1949\, the Aspen Music Festival and School is regarded as one of the top classical music festivals in the United States\, noted both for its concert programming and its musical training of mostly young-adult music students. The eight-week summer season includes hundreds of classical music events: concerts by four orchestras\, recitals\, chamber music\, operas\, classes\, lectures\, and family programs. In the winter\, the AMFS presents recitals and robust music education programs for local youth and families. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 6:00 pm / DOORS @ 5:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLocation: TACAW\, 400 Robinson St\, Basalt\, CO 81621\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: TACAW

The song “God Damn” is a fiery commentary\, while “Interstate Gospel Fate”takes us down the road of long distance love and untimely car trouble. “Drink this in” celebrates the organic panoply of life and “Flibbertygibbets\,” well…should we really say more? Dive into this album to celebrate\, sing\, laugh at\, and reflect on our tragic beautiful flaws. \n\n\n\nNine songs riff on the modern experience with a contemporary folk\, perspective and an indie sensibility and “new timey” in nature–acoustic guitar\, singing saw\, cornet\, bucket drums\, cheeky lyrics\, violin\, and bass. \n\n\n\nRecorded at Cool Brick Studios\, the band collaborated with a variety of local musicians to bring a full-bodied aroma to the album. Pat Fagan adds deep accents with his euphonium. Jodi Henderson lightens things up with her playful clarinet.  Sweet Jessup’s show this year will be one of their best as they bring three years stylized collaboration\, jams\, and original tunes to make you shimmy shake with their gritty folk story telling and acoustic blue driven mountain rag tunes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT SWEET JESSUP & THE DIRTY BUCKETS \n\n\n\nSweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets have one trashy jam sound. Literally\, the percussionist plays old used buckets and thrift store treasures. Bluesy\, groovy\, folksy\, clanky\, and dancy\, Sweet Jessup draws inspiration from American root blues\, folk\, and ragtime traditions. We play all original songs that are catchy\, fun\, and upbeat. Come out to dance with us!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT PATRICK FAGAN \n\n\n\nPatrick Fagan is based in Carbondale and performs throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond\, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians. \n\n\n\nHe regularly performs as part of the Bruell Fagan Duo with Marc Bruell\, and he has played in the blues band Electric Lemon. During Oktoberfest season\, Patrick travels across Colorado with Those Austrian Guys. When he is back east\, he joins the Honk Family Band for street festivals in Boston and New York. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT PATRICK FAGAN:WEBSITE \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 18+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

SUMMARY:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:Dar Williams\n\n\n\nW/ Ruth Theodore \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n$45 MEMBER / $50 ADVANCE / $60 DAY OF \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINALLimit of 4 tickets per purchaserGroup Sales are available to our Business Advocates\, learn more \n\n\n\nUNDERWRITTEN BY DICK CARTER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT DAR WILLIAMS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre: Folk \n\n\n\nWEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY \n\n\n\n“It’s a highway\, filled with deep\, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast\,” says Dar Williams\, describing modern life. On her 13th album\, Hummingbird Highway\, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records\, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world\,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes. \n\n\n\nOn the title track\, Williams sings from the perspective of a child speaking to her peripatetic and sometimes struggling parent. Blooming columbines\, china blue teapots\, and cinnamon bark number among the “treasures” in her life\, despite the “pirates” that she imagines populating her worldly parent’s life. “The pirates can be all sorts of things living inside and outside your head. The child\, for better or worse\, knows that there is joy\, unpredictability\, and instability on the home front. She’s rooting for the joy.” \n\n\n\nSince 2013\, Williams has been leading songwriting workshops where she teaches students to let songs find their own trajectories. While writing the breezy bossa nova “Tu Sais Le Printemps\,” (single release 7/29/25) Williams questioned why she was writing a light\, flirty song amidst many gloomy news stories. “I was having coffee with some of my fellow retreat leaders and Beth Nielsen Chapman\, telling them about my ‘frilly’ song\, and Beth said\, ‘That’s just what I want to hear right now!’ It was a nice moment to follow my own advice and let the song find its way.” \n\n\n\nWith help from Williams’ collaborators\, the other songs found their paths as well. Mainly produced by Ken Rich at Brooklyn’s Grand Street recording (with two tracks produced by Dave Chalfant in Western Massachusetts)\, the Hummingbird Highway sessions were a microcosm of the interdependence that provided inspiration from inception to full production. These songs are ecosystems that thrive on co-creation. Daisy Mayhem brings roots-rock energy to the bluegrassy “Put the Coins on His Eyes\,” while long time touring-mate and collaborator Bryn Roberts creates both the hooks and immersive sonic landscapes of every musical genre. Simpatico “studio magic” can be heard in the happy rowdiness of the Richard Thompson cover\, “I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight\,” as well as in the contemplative “Sacred Mountain” where Williams wraps a halting melody around the narrator\, a Buddhist who struggles to reconcile inward contemplation and political action. Through gray skies\, snow pigeons\, and petitions to stem industrial pollution\, the character moves through shifting mindsets to work towards “what we see; what we breathe in time.” \n\n\n\nWilliams sees and breathes the way people connect with one another\, as chronicled in what she calls her “take on urban planning\,” What I Found in a Thousand Towns (Basic Books\, 2017). “I traveled and watched how other people created these cool things like town-wide science fairs and hilarious celebrations of potatoes and chili\, often going hand-in-hand with providing serious resources like food banks and free clinics\,” she recalls. Along the way\, she’s seen the devotion of strong unions (as in “Put the Coins On His Eyes”) and congressional reps alike. “Maryland\, Maryland” was inspired by conversations with her friend\, Rep. Jamie Raskin\, about what a new state song would include. “In the end\, my definition of a Maryland song was song about Jamie\, who is a proud\, patriotic son of the state.” As Williams continuously takes in the social landscapes of towns and cities\, she has also taken them home\, helping to start a thrift sale\, chairing a community board\, and helping to organize group sings in her New York hometown. “For someone who’s seen a lot of pavement and airports along with all the great places where I’ve played\, it’s especially nice to come home\,” she says. \n\n\n\nAs hummingbirds and folk singers fly\, they gain perspective and not just distance. She finds that wise perch on “Olive Tree\,” a single out on August 26. With production of stirring percussion and twinkling keys\, she considers everything that’s led up to our current moment. Williams observes “all of these strangers and friends” talking about world events at parties and dinner gatherings and thinks back to all the iterations of those conversations from Aristotle on. In a moving verse\, she conjures a time in 1913 when California Berkeley scientists planted an olive grove in the United States and imagined the generations who would meet in the olive trees’ shade for “over one thousand years.” When Williams promises “I’ll meet you here under an olive tree\,” we all know that both she and we will\, wherever and whenever we continue to foster olive trees and a human-scale\, deeply-rooted democratic society. \n\n\n\nLongtime listeners know that Williams and her music are always up for those kinds of conversations that glimpse the brightest colors\, woven into the larger context of time. “As I’ve gotten older\, I feel more comfortable holding a lot of different threads in my hand to create more complicated patterns. Time has given me a better ability to hold a bunch of colors and temperaments and see what happens\, where they become interesting new stories and also where I need to stop and untangle the themes and characters. It’s daunting\, and I’ve learned that\, you know\, daunting is fine\, just keep going.” \n\n\n\nABOUT RUTH THEODORE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDistinguished british artist and ‘original folk voice’ Ruth Theodore has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed studio albums for over a decade. \n\n\n\nHaving started her career as a street busker on England’s south coast\, Ruth is now signed to Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe records and sharing labels\, stages and studios with iconic international artists\, as a performer\, writer and recently co-producer\, making her critically acclaimed music alongside long term collaborators; Tony and Grammy award winning producer and bassist Todd Sickafoose\, and Swiss-American virtuoso percussionist Mathias Kunzli.  \n\n\n\nRuth’s music is inspired by lived experience which makes her a folk singer in essence\, but there’s a strong sense of playful rebellion in her delivery that embodies hints of 1920s vauderville theatre\, buckets of indie punk rock attitude and the relentless lyrical energy of a beat poet. \n\n\n\nBusking and performing in bars from the age of 14 and then self releasing her first three records on DIY label River Rat Records\, Ruth has led a nomadic existence\, living between river boats\, squats\, and artist workshops in East London up until 2020 when she moved to co-run a music venue in the south of England.  Theodore’s music reflects her naturally transient personality.  \n\n\n\nOver her career Theodore has carved a unique and instantly recognizable style that has seen her described as an “Original Folk Voice” in the Guardian; “A master of the long-form” and “An Institution” in FATEA magazine. As well as inviting record deals with London based label Aveline Records and current US based label Righteous Babe Records.  \n\n\n\nRuth’s music and lyricism effortlessly pushes the boundaries of gender and genre.   \n\n\n\nTheodore is currently working on her 7th studio record and can be found touring the UK\, USA and EU both solo and with her dynamic four piece band. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices\, he has released eleven studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed ‘Fever Breaks’ of which NPR Music praised\, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation\, often within a single song.” \n\n\n\nHis twelfth studio album ‘I Believe in You\, My Honeydew’ is out now. Two-plus decades into his celebrated career\, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan\, Joan Baez\, and Bob Weir covering his songs. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Gold Thrown Open tour is meant to encompass the whole of Ritter’s career\, versus focusing on any one studio album. \n\n\n\nIn addition to his work as a musician\, Ritter is also a national best-selling author\, having released two novels to date: 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All and 2011’s Bright’s Passage. Released to critical attention\, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.” \n\n\n\n“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip\, but his hand has never felt surer.” \n\n\n\n– NPR Music \n\n\n\n“Harking back to Bob Dylan\, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler\, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.” \n\n\n\n– The New York Times \n\n\n\n“Mysterious\, melancholy\, melodic…and those are only the M’s.” \n\n\n\n– Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / 16+ (Under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian)\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

The duo (Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall) first introduced their classic-meets-contemporary musical style through their debut track “66\,” produced by GRAMMY Award winner Nick Waterhouse (Leon Bridges\, Jon Batiste) and recorded at Los Angeles’ legendary EastWest Studios\, the same room that gave life to Pet Sounds and California Dreamin’. Momentum continued with the fan-favorite “Daisy\,” now climbing at radio (#4 at Americana and #39 at AAA). After becoming the first act to sign with Ascend Music (a division of Big Machine Label Group) in July 2025\, Marfa released “Little Miss Two Time\,” which KCRW’s Today’s Top Tunes praised as “music that ties Laurel Canyon to West Texas\,” calling their sound “a proverbial hay bale of beautiful harmonies and foot-stomping good times.” Now with “American Lonely” and “Little Lowdown\,” the duo continues to bring “Denver Americana to the masses” (Westword) as they invite listeners into their expansive sonic imagination. Recently named “Best Breakout Folk Duo” in Westword’s Best of Denver 2025 issue\, Marfa is quickly emerging as one of Americana’s most compelling new acts\, now bringing their roots-meets-rock live show on the road this fall with Southall\, The Mavericks\, and Kashus Culpepper.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT CAYDEN WEMPLE\n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM / TIKTOK / SPOTIFY / APPLE MUSIC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCayden Wemple is a Los Angeles based Indie-Emo-Folk singer-songwriter. Born and raised in San Luis Obispo\, Wemple picked up guitar at an early age and has been enamored with the instrument ever since. His interest and dedication to songwriting came years later\, gathering musical inspiration from artists such as Bon Iver\, Bright Eyes\, and Phoebe Bridgers. He attended the University of Colorado – Denver\, where he studied songwriting and music business. During college\, Wemple played in an Emo band\, Keep Off the Grass – a project that he spent the better part of 4 years writing and playing shows for. After the band dispersed\, Wemple began writing his own songs again – this time marrying his Indie/Folk roots with his newfound appreciation for Emo music. In the Summer of 2022\, he recorded a group of singles and started posting them on TikTok\, eventually garnering attention and leading him to release his debut single “not to catch you by surprise.” Shortly after being released\, the song received editorial support from Spotify\, landing on Fresh Finds Folk. Since then\, Wemple’s music has continued to find success across streaming and social media platforms\, leading him to be discovered and signed by R&R (records) and Interlude Studios (management). Coming off the release of his recent EP (‘Roommates’)\, as well as having new collaborations with artists such as Runnner\, Shallow Alcove\, Grace Gardner\, and Khatumu out in the world – Wemple’s passion and energy for his craft is at an all-time high. With more unreleased music in the pipeline and a steady stream of live shows on the horizon\, there is much to look forward to from Cayden Wemple. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:30 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 18+ VALID PHOTO ID REQUIRED\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 6 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits
