The Ouray Mountain Air Music Series is proud to present it's 14th annual concert series! These FREE events are held on Thursdays in June in our beautiful Fellin Park and are well-received by the entire Ouray community. Each Thursday, families of all ages gear up for sun-filled afternoons, warm evenings, and picnics at Ouray’s favorite outdoor event! We will be featuring 3 different bands this year starting at 6 pm!
Sage & Aera feat. Xerephine: 6-6:45 pm
Heavy Diamond Ring: 7-8:15 pm
Rob Leines: 8:30-10:30 pm
For our summer solstice concert, Rob Leines will return from our rain cancelation last year. Rob performed an impromptu set at the Silver Eagle Saloon during the rainout and blew the house down! We cannot wait to welcome them back for our summer solstice concert!
"I'm burning down the interstate," Rob Leines sings halfway through Headcase, an album that finds the road warrior occupying the intersection of blue-collar rock & roll and outlaw country. Pulling triple duty as a songwriter, southern storyteller, and modern-day guitar hero, Leines fills his third album with tales from the fast lane, punctuating each song with amplified riffs and a voice sharpened by a heavy touring schedule. The result is a record for dive bars and dance halls, for highways and honky-tonks, for wheels that spin and and horizons that linger just out of reach.
Before recording Headcase with co-producers Mike Harmeier (the longtime frontman of Silverada, formerly known as Mike and the Moonpies) and Adam Odor, Leines quit his longtime job as a welder and hit the road in support of 2021's Blood Sweat and Beers. That record became his breakthrough release, earning Leines a year's worth of gigs with marquee acts like Dwight Yoakam and The Mavericks. Night after night, he hit the stage with his power trio, mixing rock & roll bang with Telecaster twang. Recorded between shows, Headcase captures that live chemistry with songs that dig beneath the blacktop for stories about love lost, chances taken, and life lived between the mile markers.
Taking the stage in the 2nd slot we warmly welcome Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers! We don't think you will be sitting in your chairs after these guys take the stage for the rest of the evening!
Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers are a high-energy, piano-driven roots rock band hailing from Austin, Texas. Imagine the raw passion of Bruce Springsteen colliding with the electrifying showmanship of Jerry Lee Lewis—New Orleans late-night revelry infused with Southern rock soul and a Texas Gulf Coast groove. And if that’s not enough, Nik Parr takes it to the next level, playing saxophone and piano at the same time—you’ve got to see it to believe it. Check out the videos on Instagram.
Known for their dynamic live performances, Nik Parr & The Selfless Lovers have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in roots music, including Marc Broussard, Rebirth Brass Band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Black Joe Lewis, The Soul Rebels, Dumpstaphunk, The Heavy Heavy, Shinyribs, The Damn Quails, and Mike Zito. With a relentless touring schedule of over 150 shows per year across the country, the band continues to build a dedicated following.
Opening our summer concert, Sage & Aera feat. Xerephine will warm us up and make us feel all cozy for an incredible night of music!
Sage & Aera are an indie folk duo combining the songs and instrumental prowess of Sage Cook (Elephant Revival) with the uniquely captivating voice and upright bass of Aera Fox.
Joining them to form a trio is the enchanting vocalist and harpist, Xerephine, who carries the celtic undertones of her roots and weaves them into folk songs born of this land.
Food, beer, wine, spirits and our famous margarita's will be available for purchase.
This is a free, outdoor, and family friendly event, so no outside alcohol, no marijuana in the park and dogs must be leashed and waste cleaned up.
