Crested Butte Ski Patrol Community Fundraiser
2026-02-07 19:00 (America/Denver) | Center for the Arts Crested Butte, 606 Sixth Street, Crested Butte, CO, 81224, United States
Doors 6:30pm | Opener 7pm | Motet 8:30pm
Join us on February 7 for the Crested Butte Ski Patrol’s 44th Annual Attitude Adjustment Fundraiser.

Each winter, the Attitude Adjustment fundraiser is one of the biggest parties in Crested Butte, a town known for its parties, and this year we’re going bigger than ever – with groovy live music from The Motet and tasty bites from Burnell’s Food Truck. But the fun doesn’t stop there, because this party’s for a good cause, too…
What started in the winter of ‘78-’79 to raise some extra money for a ski patroller who sustained life-altering injuries has since broadened its horizons, helping support hundreds of community members and non-profits in need. Last year’s event managed to raise over $30,000, donated as grants directly towards this cause, and this year we’re hoping to raise even more. So mark your calendars for February 7th, dust off your boogie shoes, and get ready to join us for a night of dancing, community, and a whole lotta fun.

The Motet
A new beginning can happen at any time. No matter where you may be on your journey, you can always start over once again.
After 26 years, nine albums, and over a thousand shows, The Motet embark on another chapter galvanized in equal measure by their longstanding bond and a surge of fresh energy. The genre-breaking group—Dave Watts [drums], Joey Porter [keys], Garrett Sayers [bass], Drew Sayers [keys, saxophone], and Ryan Jalbert [guitar]—officially welcome Sarah Clarke [lead vocals] to the family. Their inimitable instrumental interplay proves just as fiery as ever, while her addition only fuels their collective flame higher.

Subalpine Robinhoodism: Castijella as a keystone species
2026-02-09 17:00
Presented by Gunnison Basin Chapter Colorado Native Plant Society
How does the Indian paintbrush obtain its food? Some plants extract their nutrients from the sun. Instead, the paintbrush, in addition to photosynthesizing, parasitizes other plants. Through his research at Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, Jordan Argrett will lead us to a positive view of plant parasitism in plant communities. Please join the Gunnison Basin Chapter of the Colorado Native Plant Society for this special talk.

The Brothers Comatose
2026-02-25 20:00
doors 7pm | show 8pm
Fusing old school string band instrumentation with rock and roll exuberance, The Brothers Comatose cement their status as standard bearers of a thriving, innovative West Coast roots movement on their intoxicating new album, Golden Grass. Recorded with co-producers Greg Holden and Tim Bluhm, the collection is as diverse and enthralling as the California landscape itself—at times carefree and breezy, at times wild and rugged—with lush, organic arrangements full of rich vocal harmonies and driving guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass. While the record marks the group’s first release with newest member Addie Levy, the result is quintessential Brothers Comatose: a warm, joyful reflection on identity and the ties that bind from a band that knows exactly who they are (and exactly where they come from).
Founded by Ben and Alex Morrison in 2008, The Brothers Comatose first emerged from San Francisco with their 2010 debut, Songs From The Stoop, which helped earn dates with the likes of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Greensky Bluegrass, and Trampled By Turtles. In the decade-and-a-half that followed, the critically acclaimed quintet would go on to release five more full-length LPs, rack up nearly 50 million streams, land festival slots at Outside Lands, High Sierra, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, tour with Lake Street Dive, The Devil Makes Three, and Yonder Mountain String Band, and build up a devoted following thanks to their raucous live shows and relentless schedule.
