Bluegrass Gas - The Avalanche Jam brings a mountain of music
From the Denver Westword
Although bluegrass music is rooted in Kentucky, it resonates with the Western spirit. At today's 2004 Avalanche Jam, Coloradans will have a chance to show that spirit as they kick up a storm to the tunes of the homegrown Hit & Run Bluegrass band.
Proceeds from the Appalachian-music-inspired fundraiser will go to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, a Boulder-based organization that forecasts landslides and other geological events for our state. The hoedown starts at 5 p.m. on the south lawn of the American Mountaineering Center, 710 Tenth Street in Golden. In addition to being slammed by several half-hour Hit & Run sets, jammers will be tempted by items featured in the benefit's silent auction, such as ski passes and avalanche beacons.
Tickets, $30 in advance or $35 at the gate (children under twelve admitted free), include a hearty dinner and a selection of beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages.
Call 303-417-1345 or visit www.avalanchejam.com for more information. -- Caitlin Smith
