Mountains Standard Time Concert
July 30 - 7:30 PM - Free
The new Warren Station at Keystone hosts the kickoff to the 14th Annual Bluegrass and Beer Festival weekend with a free concert featuring Mountain Standard Time. Enjoy cold brews and great music as we celebrate two of our favorite pastimes.
Mountain Standard Time: "Full-steam Colorado Mountaingrass." The members of Mountain Standard Time hale from different parts of the country, yet their musical paths crossed in Nederland-a small Colorado mountain town steeped in bluegrass music. Whether you chalk it up to fate or coincidence, fans are thankful for the sound that these six friends and musicians have created.
As a bluegrass band that's anything but traditional, Mountain Standard Time follows in the footsteps of such Colorado greats as The String Cheese Incident and Leftover Salmon. While leading acoustically with guitar, mandolin, and banjo, MST brands its own style, boasting a big, full-band sound with saxophone, electric bass, drums, and electric effects.
The members of Mountain Standard Time hail from all over the country, yet their musical paths crossed in Nederland - a small, Colorado mountain town steeped in bluegrass music. Whether you chalk it up to fate or coincidence, music goers everywhere are coming together to enjoy the "explosive bluegrass" that these six friends and musicians have come to create. MST has performed all over Colorado and across the country, with appearances at Wakarusa Music Festival, 10,000 Lakes Festival, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival contest finals, among other events.
Mountain Standard Time's roots stem from late night "picks" among the bluegrass faithful, making music lovers dance from mountain towns to backwoods campfires. Rich lyrics, original melodies, vocal harmonies and driving back beats have been moving fans across the country, while the band's unique charisma has been winning hearts.
