STOKE SESSIONS | Enjoy live Music in Vail every Friday for the first month of ski season. Vail’s vibrant food and beverage scene is front and center with local favorites including El Segundo, Yama Sushi, Root & Flower, Two Arrows and the Sitzmark. To mark the occasion, Vail Brewing Company is crafting a limited-release Stoke Sessions IPA, available exclusively during the concert series.
THIS WEEK l The Runaway Grooms, a Colorado-based outfit, features guitarist and vocalist Adam Tobin, keyboardist Cody Scott, bassist and vocalist Zach Gillam, drummer Justin Bisset and guitarist and vocalist Zac Cialek. The band is releasing their third studio album, This Road, into the world and onto stages nationwide. Recorded on the road at Paloma Sound Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, with former Ardent Studio engineer Jeremy Horn, the Runaway Grooms’ third LP marks the band’s return to more of an American roots rock songwriting style, all while keeping one foot in the tight-knit jam band circle from which they emerged.
Equally inspired by jazz-fusion exploration from the likes of Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section and Yes, and the guitar-driven prowess of Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Grateful Dead, This Road dives in and out of grooves and moods, turning on a dime, but always focusing on what the band sees as the most important aspect: the song. Oh, and keeping the crowd on their dancing feet. In addition to telling stories and gleaning wisdom from life, love and struggle, This Road captures an array of emotions and moods drawn from the dramatic narrative of living on the road in a touring band.
