Sunset Concert Series: The Delta Saints

04 Jul Sunset Concert Series: The Delta Saints

TMVOA  2015 Sunset Concert Series continues, featuring The Delta Saints. Next up The Brothers Comatose, and more. Through August 19, Sunset Plaza in Mountain Village. See full schedule below.

Now in its 16th year, the free outdoor live music series overlooking the scenic valley continues with Nashville rock ‘n’ rollers The Delta Saints, followed by electronic-laced reggae act Jon Wayne and the Pain, rhythm & soul ensemble Mingo Fishtrap, country-rock band Pure Prairie League, and Colorado’s Grateful Dead tribute Shakedown Street. The eclectic lineup enlists a powerful array of proven acts that provide feel-good dance and sing-a-long music to audiences across the country.

The sound of The Delta Saints is often described as a fusion of traditional southern soul and funk-inspired power, layered with furious harmonica lines that simultaneously tie the group together and threaten to unseat it all in one sweep. As if the warm familiar melody of rosy porch music has been plugged in and turned up: The Delta Saints are driving listeners from front-porch swings to the edge of their seats. Theirs is the unsettling sound of strength. It is a conversation among five men able to speak to one another through their instruments.

“The Delta Saints uphold the best traditions of Southern Rock – razor sharp slide guitar riffage, harmonica runs that are alternately as soothing as a baby’s breathing and terrifying as a hellhound’s growl, a slinky yet powerful rhythm section and a soulman at the front who croons with a preacher’s passion and howls with a sinner’s leer.” FWIX Cincinnati Review for MPMF 10

Scheduled to coincide with a scenic sunset as the backdrop for each act’s two sets of music on the lawn near Lift 1 in the Sunset Plaza, all nine shows are provided to the public free of charge by TMVOA, and supporting sponsors Wells Fargo Private Bank, Alpine Bank, Madeline Hotel and Residences, Telluride Resort Lodging, Telluride Ski & Golf, The Town of Mountain Village, The Peaks Resort & Spa, and The Market at Mountain Village.

Featured again this year, the Town of Mountain Village’s Entertainment District allows a fluid social atmosphere where alcoholic beverages purchased from associated restaurants can be taken into the Common Consumption Area and enjoyed during the concerts.
