Music scene · Gunnison

Gunnison is a mountain college town home to Western Colorado University, where student ensembles, bluegrass pickers, and local bar bands define the sound. Grand Junction area musicians sometimes make the mountain drive for gigs and festivals.

Look for music at college performance halls, local bars and restaurants, church fellowship spaces, and outdoor pavilions. The community center also hosts concerts and seasonal gatherings.

Local and regional artists perform here, with musicians from the nearby Grand Junction scene occasionally passing through.

Students and locals should join university ensembles, attend open bluegrass jams, and build relationships with Grand Junction musicians willing to travel to the high country.
