Easy Jim at Belly Up Aspen, Jan. 28
Easy Jim, music of the Grateful Dead will take the stage at 9 p.m. Jan. 28, at Belly Up Aspen. “Settle back, easy Jim…” — the lyric from Robert Hunter’s “Althea” captures the spirit of the band Easy Jim, from Crested Butte and the mountains of Gunnison, first formed in 2018, according to a press statement. The band describes itself as a laid-back group of seasoned musicians bonded by a deep love for the music of the Grateful Dead. This six-piece ensemble mirrors the Dead’s classic lineup — complete with two drummers and vocalists who sing rich, four-part harmonies. Known for their adventurous improvisation, tight musicianship, and electrifying energy, Easy Jim delivers a unique experience every time they perform. No two shows are the same, but every show is a heartfelt tribute to one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most legendary bands. For tickets, visit bellyupaspen.com.
