Dillon Amphitheater presents Mountain Music Mondays with a free concert featuring The Crane Wives and special guest Brye. This show benefits Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center. For free events, tickets or preregistration are not needed unless that is clearly stated on the event page. Admission is first come, first served, and if capacity is reached the venue will move to a one-in, one-out policy. Reentry is allowed for free shows unless the venue is already full, and early arrival is suggested for high-demand performances. The Crane Wives grew out of the folk revival and now channel a rock and roll edge, blending harmony-rich melodies with lyrics that face vulnerability and the harsher sides of life. Their live sets are noted for both emotional charge and technical precision. The rhythm section of Ben Zito on bass and Dan Rickabus on drums drives a dynamic foundation, while co-leads Emilee Petersmark and Kate Pillsbury trade expansive, gritty electric guitar lines and weave three-part harmonies. The band has released six full-length albums, performed more than 600 shows across the United States, and shared stages with artists including The Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive, Rusted Root, The Dead South, and Joseph. Their work has been spotlighted by Michigan Radio and NPR’s All Songs Considered, and their recent album Beyond Beyond Beyond earned strong critical praise for its angsty, haunting, gritty tone and for turning personal struggle into songs that resonate widely. On Spotify, they count over 1.3 million monthly listeners and more than 150 million streams on their most popular tracks, with fans across the US, the UK, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, and the Philippines. Brye brings an indie pop sound defined by candid, introspective writing and airy vocals. Her music explores body image, mental health, and personal growth with unflinching honesty. The collaboration LEMONS with Cavetown has surpassed 44 million streams on Spotify, and songs like Diet Culture and Body Back have also found a wide audience. On the road, she has shared bills with Addison Grace, Madilyn Mei, Leanna Firestone, and Frances Forever, building a loyal following through intimate and emotionally direct performances.
