Music scene · New Castle

Music in New Castle, a mountain town along the Colorado River, centers on folk, bluegrass, and acoustic music at community events. Acoustic players from the Glenwood Springs area stop in for low-key sets. It has no music industry; schools, churches, and community events keep live music present.

New Castle performances take place at community center, local bar and restaurant, park pavilion. These spaces host open mic nights, school concerts, church music, and private parties. Touring acts rarely stop here, but the rooms suit local musicians and regional visitors.

Local and regional folk and bluegrass musicians perform here, with musicians from the nearby Glenwood Springs scene occasionally passing through.

New musicians in New Castle should join the high school band, a church choir, or a community music group. Checking community boards for open mic nights helps find local chances. Most paid work means driving to Glenwood Springs.
