Buttermilk Mountain’s closing weekend was a bit more roaring than usual with live music on Saturday, April 5, at Home Team BBQ at The Inn at Aspen. The troupe of longtime local musicians came together to play, hailing from various bands over the years, from ‘Jes Grew to the Drunken Poets to Monkey Train.
Fans of all ages gathered for the après-ski set that served as a reunion for generations.
“‘Jes Grew played at our wedding in 1999,” said Carol Wood.
Her husband, Glenn Wood (an apropos name for the Roaring Fork Valley resident), added that keyboardist Rob Dasaro’s now-grown daughter was their flower girl. As the band belted out covers and originals, guests danced and sang along.
“At Home Team, we really feel strongly about this type of scene being available every so often for longtime locals … those that have been around for decades and have started families (and) businesses and live here in the valley.” said Kutcher Miller, a member of Home Team’s ownership group. “It takes us back to a time when we were younger and, in most cases, a little wilder. And scheduling the set from 4-8 p.m. allows us to all be home and in bed by 10!”
Miller added that more live music is on the horizon, though it’s not scheduled just yet. Stay tuned for updates posted to @hometeambbqaspen on Instagram.
