Fall Folk: The Ditchwalkers

Introducing Fall Folk — a new, free music series at the Center for the Arts celebrating the rich sounds of folk music. Cozy up for intimate performances from talented artists, all set against the backdrop of crisp autumn evenings.

The Ditchwalkers are a homegrown Crested Butte trio featuring Matt Shugert (guitar), Madeline Shugert (banjo), and Lizzy Plotkin (fiddle). Rooted in the rhythms of mountain life, their music weaves heartfelt harmonies with acoustic instrumentation, drawing from old-time, folk, and Appalachian traditions. Whether on a back porch or local stage, The Ditchwalkers bring an authentic sound that’s as wild and warm as the high country they call home.
