Northern Colorado’s tribute band scene is keeping classic music alive in a big way. 🎶
From Greeley’s “My Favorite Bands” to venues across Fort Collins and beyond, local musicians are going beyond cover songs and stepping into the music of legendary artists like Fleetwood Mac, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and more. These shows are all about recreating the sound, energy and nostalgia that fans still love today.
What started as a niche idea has grown into a strong local community of musicians and fans who show up for the music, the memories and the live experience.
Catch them live around Northern Colorado:
Tumbledown Shack – First Wednesday and third Thursday monthly at Salt Road Brewing, Fort Collins, plus July 11 at Mishawaka Amphitheatre
The Long Run – July 17 at Chapungu Sculpture Park, Centerra and November 7 at the Rialto Theater, Loveland
Rumours – July 18 at Aggie Theatre, Fort Collins
My Favorite Bands – August 1 in downtown Greeley (9th Street Plaza and Moxi Theater)
Ten Years Gone – September 18 at The Rush Event Center, Evans

Northern Colorado is made for riding. 🤠🐴
Whether you have never touched a saddle or you are an experienced rider, there are endless opportunities to get in the saddle across the region, from beginner lessons at local ranches in Loveland and Fort Collins to guided trail rides through scenic open spaces and welcoming riding clubs built on community and connection.
“Saddle Up,” one of our July features, highlights how instructors such as Lisa Ski and Ariel Hug help beginners start from the ground up, why trail rides at locations like Tattered Saddle and Terry Bison Ranch are ideal for first-time riders and how local groups are making horseback riding more accessible and social than ever.
From learning the basics to exploring Colorado’s most scenic trails, it is never too late to start riding. Read the full feature in our July issue linked in our bio.
