8th St Bus Stop at the Sundeck

August 2 | 12:30 - 3:30 PM Join us on Friday, August 2, for music with a view at the Sundeck. Local rock band 8th St. Bus Stop will perform against the stunning backdrop of the Elk Mountain Range from the Sundeck patio. Formed during the last open mic night at the Red Onion in Aspen, Colorado, 8th St. Bus Stop has since evolved into a dynamic blend of rock, funk, folk, blues, and dance-floor energy. The band captures the spirit of love, spontaneity, and revelry, reflecting the vibrant musical culture of our spirited mountain town.
