Shake A Leg With A Smile This Sunday At Six - The Rifters

The Rifters

“Sort of a laid-back high-energy gentle giant old blue-buffalo-grama-grassy, cowboy, folky, shake-a-leg with a smile sort of thing,” is how the Rifters describe their music. The Rifters will help people shake their legs in the next in the “Sundays @ Six,” series of free admission live concerts this Sun., July 5, at 6pm, in Alamosa’s Cole Park.

The Rifters are at home at a barn dance with the hay and the horses, in a mountain town bar or honky-tonk, or on a festival or concert stage. Their choice of moving and powerful material, both original and by others, their impeccable musicianship, and their strong three and four part vocal arrangements combine to make The Rifters a crowd-pleasing musical experience.

The Rifters formed from members of two popular bands already active in the area. Jim Bradley and Don Richmond of Hired Hands, and Rod Taylor and Steve Garry of the Rounders, who had all known one another for years, decided to join forces.

Bubba Hyde’s grill is scheduled to barbeque and sell tasty vittles to concertgoers at the park. The SLV Big Band brings their swinging jazz and other tunes to Cole Park next week, on Sun., July 12 at 6pm, with the SLV Pizza van vending their wares on that night.

In the event of inclement weather, concerts will take place in Leon Memorial Hall on the Adams State College campus.

We are also pleased to be sponsoring a full slate of live music with our friends at the Valley Farmers Market, beginning next Saturday, July 11th.

Also on Saturday, July 11th, check out the SLV Folk Arts and Fiber Festival, featuring the Kailin Yong Peace Project and Andy Skellenger.

ALMA s thanks its gracious members and business sponsors for their support of ALMA events.

We hope to see you there!
