For decades now, the Crested Butte Music Festival has brought diverse genres to Gunnison County, Colorado. There, in the town of Crested Butte, this yearly event brings bluegrass, classical, indie rock, and gypsy jazz performers to appear in a variety of local venues and private homes. Each year there’s world-class music, workshops, masterclasses, lectures, interactive experiences, and camaraderie that draws people from around the world and takes place amongst the Quaking Aspens and rugged splendor of the Rocky Mountains.
This year, things looked a little different, however. With a change of timing from July to August/September and modifications made to satisfy local health regulations wrought by Covid-19, the festival rolled with the punches and found a way to still produce its beloved 2020 event.
