SUMMARY:Alpenglow: JD Clayton
DESCRIPTION:Free Concert Series | Outdoors | Rain or Shine\nThe Center for the Arts presents Alpenglow\, a tradition for over 30 years. This free outdoor concert series takes place Monday evenings at 5:30pm from mid-June through mid-August in the Crested Butte Town Park next door to the Center for the Arts. \nWith Crested Butte Mountain and Paradise Divide as the backdrop\, it’s the perfect respite to enjoy the sounds of a variety of music\, surrounded by family and friends. Guests are welcome to bring along low-profile lawn chairs\, snacks (or a complete picnic) and non-alcoholic beverages. Join friends and family as we enjoy the best that summer in Crested Butte has to offer. \nJD Clayton\nThe Fort Smith Arkansas native\, JD Clayton\, released his debut album Long Way From Home\, early last year which has received overwhelming critical acclaim. There’s no artifice surrounding the Arkansas-born singer and songwriter. No glitz. No pretension or mythology. JD Clayton’s sound\, and where he chooses to make it—Arkansas\, the most western of the southern states— is a bridge between the southern rock on which he was raised\, and the truth telling tradition from the 70s era of country music that he most favors. \nAs a result\, the songs on his thrilling new album Blue Sky Sundays\, feel both lived in and completely free. Like any great songwriter\, Clayton is both leader and follower\, telling his own story but reveling in how it unfolds in live time and relates to listeners individually. “The album is about clarity. It’s about leaving the things that let us down behind\,” Clayton says. “It’s about love and family and joy. It took me about four months of being sober to have a clear enough head to process this. I think I finally understand that piece of the puzzle at least.”

SUMMARY:Public Policy:  Sarah Labowitz -When Disaster Strikes: The Future of FEMA & Federal Response
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Labowitz is a leading expert on disaster response and the intersection of public policy and global supply chains. As a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\, she focuses on how governments and international institutions prepare for\, respond to\, and recover from large-scale crises—from natural disasters to complex emergencies. Her work examines how breakdowns in logistics\, infrastructure\, and governance shape the effectiveness of disaster relief\, with an emphasis on improving coordination\, transparency\, and accountability in high-stakes response efforts. \nEarlier in her career\, Labowitz served in senior roles at the U.S. Department of State\, where she worked on international economic policy and labor rights. She was the co-founder of NYU’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights and she previously served as the Policy Director of the ACLU Texas. Across her research and public engagement\, she brings a multidisciplinary lens to disaster response—bridging policy\, finance\, and operations to better understand how systems can fail in moments of crisis and how they can be strengthened to save lives. Her work offers timely insights into how governments and institutions can build more resilient\, effective responses in an era of increasingly frequent and severe disasters.

SUMMARY:Alpenglow: John King
DESCRIPTION:Free Concert Series | Outdoors | Rain or Shine\nThe Center for the Arts presents Alpenglow\, a tradition for over 30 years. This free outdoor concert series takes place Monday evenings at 5:30pm from mid-June through mid-August in the Crested Butte Town Park next door to the Center for the Arts. \nWith Crested Butte Mountain and Paradise Divide as the backdrop\, it’s the perfect respite to enjoy the sounds of a variety of music\, surrounded by family and friends. Guests are welcome to bring along low-profile lawn chairs\, snacks (or a complete picnic) and non-alcoholic beverages. Join friends and family as we enjoy the best that summer in Crested Butte has to offer. \nJohn King\n“Everyone has fallen in love\,” says King. “Everyone’s had a broken heart. Everyone knows what it feels like to start growing up. I want to create music that speaks to people\, so I write songs about the experiences we all share.” \nRaised in the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia\, John King listened to a wide range of musicians —southern rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Black Crowes\, classic craftsmen like James Taylor and Johnny Cash\, and ’90s country stars like Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson — and worked construction jobs as a teenager. When he wasn’t pouring rocks at the worksite or studying in the classroom\, he was usually at home\, writing lyrics into his spiral-bound notebook and strumming his newly-written songs on an acoustic guitar. By 16 years old\, he was writing multiple songs every week\, often auditioning them for his friends around the campfire. \n“A lot of those early songs were horrible\,” he remembers with a laugh\, “but if I’ve learned anything about writing songs\, it’s the fact that the more songs you write\, the better you get. I kept at it. I wrote a lot. By the time I came to Nashville\, I already had a strong grasp on the structure of a good song\, and that served me well once I got in the writing room with other songwriters.” \nServed him well\, indeed. Since relocating to Tennessee\, King’s steady climb toward the top of the country music mainstream has been full of milestones. He’s become a Number 1 songwriter\, penning Randy Houser’s chart-topping “We Went” (which earned him a 2016 ASCAP Songwriter Award) and writing Hootie and The Blowfish’s “Rollin” (the band’s first song to be released since 2005). He’s become a road warrior\, too\, playing an average of 150 shows annually while building his audience one gig at a time. Most importantly\, King has begun telling his own story through music\, launching his solo career with “Tonight Tonight” — a Top 40 hit whose anthemic chorus was heard everywhere from country radio to the weekly NFL recaps on CBS — and releasing his first full-length album with 2021’s Always Gonna Be You. \nAlways Gonna Be You takes its listeners into the writing room\, where the album’s 11 songs — from “Try Saying Goodbye” (already a crowd favorite and viral hit\, with more than 18 million streams) to the acoustic “Prettiest Girl in the Room” — were first recorded as demos. King wanted to preserve the raw charm of those homemade recordings\, many of which had been tracked mere minutes after the songs were written. Rather than re-record each song in a traditional studio\, he co-produced Always Gonna Be You with his large group of co-writers and collaborators\, using his demos as the foundation for the finished tracks. The result is a country album filled with modern-day twang\, heartland hooks\, and the same diversity that imbued the music King grew up loving. \n“Country music is really exciting right now\, because artists are blurring the lines\,” he says. “You don’t have to fit into one category. When I step back and listen to these songs\, I hear southern rock\, country\, and pop. I hear me. I don’t know what else to call it. It’s just me.” \nDriving home that personal touch is the album’s storyline\, which follows King from his teenage years — back when he installed fireplaces and walkaways\, sang songs by the campfire\, and began dating the girl who would later become his wife — to his modern-day existence. It’s a story of romance and real life. A story that’s both fresh and familiar\, filled with details we’ve all experienced: the rush of a new relationship\, the brink of a breakup\, and the thrill of falling in love. With his relatable lyrics and cinematic songwriting\, John King has tapped into something that’s intimately personal yet also bigger than himself. \n“There’s a flow to the album\,” says King\, an old-school music fan who still remembers the childhood joy of playing a record from top to bottom\, experiencing the album the way its artist intended. “There’s an autobiographical narrative about me and my wife\, and it unfolds chronologically. At the beginning\, we’re a pair of high-school sweethearts who fall in love. In the middle of the record\, we go through some tough moments. Toward the end\, the record settles into things I feel now\, and the lessons I’ve learned. We have a beautiful family together. We have a daughter. I’ve found myself — not only as an artist\, but as a person.” \nCall it a soundtrack to self-discovery. Call it a coming-of-age story\, performed by a southern son whose country twang is matched by his pop hooks. Whatever the description\, Always Gonna Be You is proof there’s a new King in town.

SUMMARY:Alpenglow: Madeline Hawthorne
DESCRIPTION:Free Concert Series | Outdoors | Rain or Shine\nThe Center for the Arts presents Alpenglow\, a tradition for over 30 years. This free outdoor concert series takes place Monday evenings at 5:30pm from mid-June through mid-August in the Crested Butte Town Park next door to the Center for the Arts. \nWith Crested Butte Mountain and Paradise Divide as the backdrop\, it’s the perfect respite to enjoy the sounds of a variety of music\, surrounded by family and friends. Guests are welcome to bring along low-profile lawn chairs\, snacks (or a complete picnic) and non-alcoholic beverages. Join friends and family as we enjoy the best that summer in Crested Butte has to offer. \nMadeline Hawthorne\nThe miles we travel make up the stories we tell. \nThe soles of your favorite boots or the tread on your prized car’s tires soak up the experiences and wisdom of the road under your feet. Born in New England\, based in Bozeman Montana\, singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Madeline Hawthorne pens the kind of tunes you listen to on a cross-country trek to start anew or in the dead of night when you just need a reminder that somebody’s listening. \nIn this respect\, her 2024 independent album\, Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives\, serves as a fitting soundtrack to life’s trip. \n“It’s the perfect road trip record\,” she affirms. “It was mostly written while I was on tour. If the songs were written at home in Montana\, I took inspiration from journal entries and memories of my travels. This is me stepping onto the stage with more miles under my boots. I’m giving into the moment and the melody to tell a story. It’s like eleven different versions of me—a woman I could have been\, a woman I perhaps thought I was\, and a woman I hope to be someday.” \nObsessed with music since her childhood on the East Coast\, Madeline planted roots in Bozeman\, MT during college and never turned back. She honed her talents through countless backup and band gigs before going solo amid the Global Pandemic. Balancing Americana\, roots\, folk\, and rock\, she introduced herself on the 2021 LP\, Boots\, co-produced by Brad Parsons and Tyler Thompson in Pittsburgh. In between\, she shared the stage with everyone from Jason Isbell\, Lukas Nelson\, Josh Turner\, and Kip Moore to Sierra Hull\, John Craigie\, and Nathaniel Rateliff. Plus\, she wowed audiences at festivals such as Treefort Music Festival (ID)\, Americanafest (TN)\, WinterWonderGrass (CO)\, Pak City Song Summit (UT)\, Roseberry Music Festival\, (ID)\, and more. Earning acclaim for tracks like 2023’s “Neon Wasteland\,” Relix applauded her “vibrant and buzzing.” Hawthorne has also caught the eye of CMT\, who featured her “Neon Wasteland” video at CMT.com and she has received praise from tastemakers such as No Depression who says\, “She’s been crushing rootsy tunes.” \nEventually\, she decamped to Bear Creek Studios for ten days to record Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives alongside producer Ryan Hadlock [Zach Bryan\, The Lumineers]. \n“I was fully immersed in the experience\,” she recalls. “I went for a walk every day\, wrote in my journal\, and spent a nice amount of time with the spirits of artists who have worked there before me. I appreciate that Ryan put my acoustic guitar first in the arrangement. He felt it was important for listeners to hear the songs with the instruments of origin driving the vibe and feel of the music.”  \nYou can hear this energy loud and clear on the first single “Chasing The Moon.” Bright acoustic guitar underlines pensive lyrics uplifted by piano and a steady beat. Her words resound with excitement as she observes\, “That lonesome highway is my Hollywood Boulevard.” On the hook\, she exhales\, “You can’t change the way things are\, but I’ll try again. I’ve got nothing left to lose chasing the moon.”   \n“I wrote “Chasing the Moon” about my many late nights driving through Montana\, Idaho\, Washington\, Oregon\, Utah\, Wyoming\, and Colorado\,” she notes. “It was born driving down Highway 191\, going from Big Sky to West Yellowstone. Sometimes\, I’ll pull over\, get out of my car\, and look up at the night sky. It’s powerful to stand in the quiet of the night and listen with your heart.” \n Loose slide guitar mirrors the sway of her vocals on “Where Did I Go Wrong.” Her reflections ripple with raw emotion\, “Pushed you away for the sake of a song\, I need a drink\, a moment to think\, where did I go wrong?” \n“The words you hear are the first words that came out of my mouth\,” she goes on. “There are no edits. Although I’m happily married\, I’d be lying if I told you this career path doesn’t challenge even the strongest of relationships. I never want to be that woman sitting alone at a bar wondering where she went wrong. It’s a good reminder to nurture a loving relationship.”  \nOn the other end of the spectrum\, “Night Ride” instantly intoxicates as she urges\, “Roll me up like a joint and smoke me.” She remembers\, “It’s about the time I had with my husband during the pandemic. It’s rare we get that much time together without a million things to do. It was a silver lining to an incredibly challenging period.” \nThe opener “Cold Shoulder” culminates on a wild guitar solo laced with organ. “The record starts off hot and heavy\,” she goes on. “It’s a sequel to Boots\, which ends with my songwriter character leaving her old self behind to step into a new form. It’s a sassy statement about where I am and how I feel as an artist and a woman.”  \nThe LP concludes with the pensive and poetic “Long Drive To Bozeman\,” which traces a map of her life so far. “It’s about my journey to Montana from New Hampshire when I was 18-years-old\,” she notes. “I met a boy. We both had aspirations to move to Montana for school\, so I drove him to college. Driving into Bozeman still stops my breath to this day. I wound up marrying that man and now we have a house in Bozeman with two cats\, two dogs\, and a garden. I followed my heart and it brought me home.”  \nIn the end\, Madeline is here for you on your journey. \n“I’d suggest playing this in your car this summer on a long drive\,” she smiles. “Sip your favorite beverage and spin the vinyl in your listening room—or turn it up to 11 and dance wildly around your kitchen. Wherever you are\, I hope it gives you what you need. This is an album for the lovers\, the wild children\, and the ones who refuse to grow up too much. Adventure is always out there. Go on and take the leap.”
