“We’re looking forward to being part of helping Dave rebuild after this horrible incident,” shared Scott Rednor, owner at Shakedown Bar and longtime friend and collaborator of Watts. “Dave’s been moving Coloradoans with his grooves for 30 years, so now it’s time to rally behind him and help him through this loss.”

The après ski event kicks off at 4 p.m with Dave Tucker’s Sweetspot, followed by Bonfire Dub & Friends from 5:30 - 8 p.m. The show will include a live bidding and silent auction.
