    Putting The Giant To Sleep

    Snow Bowl Steamboat, 2090 Snow Bowl Plz, Steamboat Springs
    Free

    Snow Bowl’s free summer music festivals close with a farewell celebration that eases the Giant back to sleep, filling an extended evening with free live music from three bands. Headlining is DeadPhish Orchestra, a Colorado-grown project whose members have been playing together for decades. The musicians first connected through Phix, a nationally recognized Phish tribute, then sparked this new venture when a casual Grateful Dead jam flowed into a Phish tune and the room erupted. Their first official show arrived on New Year’s Eve of 2009, and since then they have logged hundreds of performances across the country, known for adventurous mosaics that link Grateful Dead and Phish favorites in surprising ways. The current lineup includes Paul Murin on guitar, Brian Adams on bass, and Ted Tilton on keyboards. Giant Walking Robots brings a Denver-bred blend of reggae, jamtronica, and drum and bass, uniting deep dub-inspired grooves with exploratory jams that bridge rock, reggae, jam, and electronica. The quartet features George Demopoulos on bass and synths, Dave Halchak on guitar, vocals, and synths, Matt Schooley on drums, vocals, and synths, and Wilson on lead guitar, synths, and vocals. Wake Up & Live rounds out the bill with a tribute to the music of Bob Marley. Conceived by Denver guitarist and vocalist Dave Halchak after a Marley birthday show in 2013, the band honors the songs while stretching them into improvisational territory and uplifting arrangements. The lineup features Dave Halchak on guitar and lead vocals, Halle Tomlinson and Jamie Jay on vocals, Wilson on lead guitar, Andrew Martin on keyboards, Eski on bass, and Atta Ado on drums, with additional horns appearing at times.
