As Colorado's mountain music season gets underway, 10 Mile Music Hall in Frisco is preparing a winter lineup filled with Grateful Dead-inspired performances, progressive bluegrass, improvisational rock, funk, and more. Located in the heart of Summit County, the venue will welcome an exciting collection of artists throughout the 2026–2027 season, offering music fans plenty of reasons to head into the mountains.
For Deadheads and fans of the extended jam, several upcoming concerts stand out, including performances by Steely Dead, Young and Dead, and Railroad Earth. The calendar also features an Allman Brothers tribute, electronic funk favorites, and a recurring Sunday bluegrass series.
The festivities begin on Friday, November 27, when Other Brothers bring the music of the Allman Brothers Band to Frisco. Featuring musicians with connections to the original Derek Trucks Band, Circles Around the Sun, and other established groups, the Colorado-based tribute celebrates the Southern rock, blues, and improvisational spirit of one of America's most influential bands.
On Friday, December 11, SunSquabi brings its distinctive blend of electronic music, funk, and live instrumentation to 10 Mile Music Hall. The Colorado trio has built a dedicated following through performances that combine dance-floor energy with instrumental improvisation.
Fans looking to close out 2026 on a high note can catch BoomBox on Wednesday, December 30. Known for combining electronic grooves with funk, rock, and psychedelic influences, BoomBox has long been a favorite among audiences who appreciate music designed to keep the dance floor moving.
The new year brings a particularly exciting stretch for roots and improvisational music fans. On Sunday, January 17, Railroad Earth returns to Colorado's high country. With a sound that crosses bluegrass, Americana, folk, and rock, the band has spent more than two decades building a devoted following through adventurous live performances, heartfelt songwriting, and extended instrumental explorations.
Just six days later, on Saturday, January 23, Steely Dead takes the stage for a musical meeting of two beloved catalogs. The Denver-based group combines the music of the Grateful Dead and Steely Dan, bringing together the improvisational spirit of the Dead with the intricate arrangements and jazz-influenced compositions of Steely Dan. For listeners who appreciate both bands, the combination offers an imaginative approach to familiar songs.
The Grateful Dead connection continues on Friday, February 12, with Young and Dead. The Boulder-based group features five young musicians united by a shared love of the Grateful Dead's music and a commitment to keeping that musical tradition alive. Their approach embraces the exploration, spontaneity, and collective energy that have kept Deadheads coming back for generations.
Beyond the Dead-related performances, 10 Mile Music Hall continues its eclectic winter programming. Electronic funk favorites The Floozies are scheduled for Saturday, February 20, while the venue's recurring Traffic Jams Sunday concert series brings together live bluegrass, open picking sessions, and Colorado craft beer tastings. The series gives music lovers another reason to spend time in Frisco after a day in the mountains.
With its intimate setting and a calendar spanning traditional roots music, psychedelic improvisation, and modern electronic funk, 10 Mile Music Hall continues to provide a gathering place for Colorado's live music community.
Whether you're heading up for a weekend in Summit County or making a special trip for a favorite band, the winter schedule offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy live music in the heart of the Rockies.
