A Great Summer Cocktail: KOTO, Ziggy Marley and Beats Antique in Telluride Town Park

Ziggy Marley

There’s nothing like a summer concert. And Telluride puts on some of the best. Since music and setting come together in the most spectacular ways here in Telluride, don’t miss the opportunity to revel in some real fun this Sunday, July 8th, in Telluride Town Park.

KOTO, Telluride’s community radio station, presents reggae icon Ziggy Marley with special guests Beats Antique, a trio that recently sold out the Filmore in Denver. Gates open at 3 p.m., which leaves you plenty of time to throw down your tarp and stir up the drinks before 4 p.m. when Beats Antique hits the stage. Expect a spectrum of live and digital instrumentation, heavy bass and belly dancing to boot!

Beats Antique

I’d bet that everyone will be up and dancing by the time five-time, Grammy-winning musician Ziggy Marley takes to the stage at 6 p.m., the perfect hour for him to fill our glorious box canyon with his highly-acclaimed reggae beat. Can’t wait to see what traditional and innovative sounds this entertainer, actor, artist, activist, humanitarian and environmentalist features here in T-ride.

Slated to end by about 7:30 p.m., you’ll likely be heading home just as the alpenglow fills our gorgeous western sky. Tickets are $30. in advance and $35. the day of the show. You can reserve them at KOTO.org or pick them up at the KOTO studios and Wizard Entertainment here in Telluride or at Cimarron Books in Ridgway and Southwest Sound in Durango.

Best of all this is a fundraiser for the radio station, so do come and be sure to patronize the vendors while you’re here. There will be food, wine, New Belgium beer and some crafts, too. Why, it sounds like a real summertime happening. Hope to see you there!

For more information, call 970-728-8100.
