An evening with Brett Dennen
Brett Dennen’s endearing and adventurous Lift Series is back this winter. In its seventh year, the annual tour is set against the backdrop of Brett’s favorite, and the country’s best, ski towns. When asked why Brett continues to play winters in the mountains, he responds, “Because mountain people are my favorite people. They know the secret to making the best kind of community that is centered around their love of the mountains and stoke. It gives me a chance to connect with amazing people and ski in some thrilling and maybe even some dangerous terrain. It is a source of inspiration for me to be a better person and make more music.” The concerts will be intimate solo acoustic sets of songs and stories that are sure to be heartwarming and funny. Brett Dennen is a nationally known, beloved singer-songwriter who has played at Austin City Limits, Newport Folk, and Telluride Bluegrass Festivals and appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, and Conan O’Brien.

This tour combines Dennen’s love of …
Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards
Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards is nothing if not a culmination: the gathering of a select group of acoustic roots musicians at the zenith of their careers. Together, these women build something more than the sum of their already impressive parts. They create something wholly new–a fusion of the countless traditions and influences they each bring into the creative process. Best thought of as a collective rather than a fixed band, this ensemble has featured a rotating cast of unmatched talent over the years since its official founding in 2014 including the lineup for Sun Valley: Valerie Thompson (cello) and Isa Burke (of Lula Wiles, Aoife O’Donovan on guitar/fiddle). And of course, at its core lies Cortese herself–serving as both the gravitational center around which the group organizes and the creative engine that fuels the compositions that emerge from it. Performing live these artists produce music as rich and intricate as any symphony; as heartfelt and true as any country classic. Centered on the virtuosic string instrumentation of its members, Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards ties together driving rhythms, broad creative vision, and resonant harmonies to create music that sweeps you up in its current, carrying you away …

Mystical Poetry Evening
Calling all lovers of mystical poetry in the Wood River Valley. Mystical poets of many of the world’s contemplative traditions are sources of tremendous wisdom and timeless offerings for the exploration of human potential. And many modern poets approach this same mystical place, often through their profound sharing of the way nature touches the soul of being human. Afterall, we are part of nature. We will come together to listen to several mystical poet’s work selected by Cit Ananda to inspire self-reflection, journaling, and conversation. The intention is to cultivate a place for deep introspection, sacred conversation and heart-oriented community around myriad wisdom teachings.

About Your Host Cit Ananda’s poetry is inspired by direct experience, captured in moments between perception when the mind falls quiet and deep silence shares an offering that touches the mystery of life. She will tell you she catches …

What We’re Made Of: Wild Rye and Club Ride
Many outdoor brands have their origins in the Wood River Valley; the easy access to the outdoors in so many ways (biking, hiking, skiing) gets the creative juices flowing in terms of how to improve on those sports—and then gives you a big playground to test out those improvements. Outdoor apparel companies Wild Rye and Club Ride are no different, with both company’s founders being outdoor aficionados in the Wood River Valley who found themselves staring down a gap in their respective markets; for Wild Rye, that gap was an outdoor brand exclusively for women. For Club Ride, that gap was casual bike clothes that could be worn from the bike to the bar. Read on to learn the origin stories of these two local companies, who are helping maintain Ketchum’s status quo as an incubator for innovation. Wild Rye Wild Rye’s founder, Cassie Abel, has lived in and out of Ketchum since she was eight years old, but coming back full-time in 2012. Prior to launching her women-focused outdoor brand, Cassie worked in-house at Smith, learning all about the outdoor industry, its marketing—and its distinct lack of focus on women. “We were starting to see all these cool brands …
