>>1791195>driving around playing Grateful Dead bootlegs in your van and seeing them whenever they come through on summer tourOur family used to drive to Telluride in the summer as kids to see to Bluegrass Fest and other concerts. There really is a huge bluegrass/folk/country/Americana + jam rock music scene out there that's inextricably linked to mountain town culture. The whole 90s jam band scene that came after The Grateful Dead became a huge stadium act + neo-hippies became mainstream really seemed to take off in Colorado first before it hit anywhere else. I know some of the more big B-level jam groups (String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, The Samples, Yonder Mountain String Band) got their start playing in mountain towns and living the ski bum life
I was pretty young at the time but we saw a lot of great artists: The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia solo band, Allman Brothers Band, The Band, Johnny Cash, Los Lobos, Indigo Girls, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Little Feat, Bruce Hornsby, James Taylor, Bela Fleck, Indigo Girls, Tony Rice, David Grisman, Jackson Browne, Widespread Panic, Del McCoury, John Prine. So many others too...
