Two Can’t-Miss Events at Strings Music Festival

What’s to come at Steamboat’s acclaimed celebration of tunes

After 32 years of delivering world-class musical performances, Steamboat Springs’ Strings Music Festival is still in full-swing this summer season. Including genres from classical and jazz to rock and bluegrass, Ski Country USA encourages fest-goers to fuse their appreciation of music with the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains all summer long.

A Steamboat Music Row veteran, Brent Rowan will return for his annual performance at the new 569-seat Pavilion located at the base of the mountains. Now a Steamboat local, Rowan has produced an abundance of gold and platinum records and is inviting two-time Grammy nominee Pat McLaughlin to join the stage with him. The Chicago Sun-Times even noted that, “No one since Dan Penn has better-mixed ‘60s soul idioms with country music sentiment. Pat McLaughlin is an American treasure.”
