FREE CONCERT!

Bud Light Rocks the Boat with SEE-I
Saturday, March 17th ~ 3-5pm

The Steamboat Ski Area will be vibing with a Reggae beat as the Bud Light Rocks the ‘Boat Free Music Series brings See-I to the Steamboat Stage in Gondola Square.

The story begins with two brothers, Rootz and Zeebo, who found their way from college in North Carolina via the Caribbean only to end up in Washington, DC. It was in the cultural melting pot of the Nation’s capital that they developed their creative and musical talents. In the heady days of the late 1980s, the brothers Steele would launch the project that has defined their lives: See-I. They quickly became a fixture of DC’s burgeoning Reggae scene crossing paths with Reggae aficionado Eric Hilton who was determined to include them in his future projects. Hilton was opening the Eighteenth Street Lounge and associated record label, and brought Rootz and Zeebo on board. Throughout the 90’s and into the coming millennium they would go on to record, perform and tour with Thievery Corporation.

Then in 2005 Zeebo and Rootz started a regular Wednesday night gig at the Eighteenth Street Lounge that would see them coalescing into one of the greatest live bands the city has ever seen. Slowly gathering momentum, guest musicians and members – from the Thievery Live band and the Chuck Brown band amongst others – the See-I live band would grow into a nationwide touring phenomenon, and are now considered one of America’s premier Reggae party bands.

Free Concert! The Band of Heathens...

The Steamboat Ski Area will be rockin' as the Bud Light Rocks the ‘Boat Free Music Series brings The Band of Heathens to the Steamboat Stage in Gondola Square.

Since emerging as a favorite new live band out of Austin TX in the late 2000s, the Band
of Heathens has toured relentlessly, building a devoted following and landing on some
of the finest stages in music. Over three studio albums and hundreds of shows each
year, they’ve evolved as a group and broadened their sound. Their most recent album
Top Hat Crown & The Clapmaster’s Son spiked the already potent punch with a dash of
jammy psychedelia. And the rich and righteous vocal harmonies that set TBoH apart
from the beginning have just gotten better.
