Called “Our Barn Door Is Open,” the event raises a little money and encourages attendees to have a lot of fun while enjoying good food, live music and glimpses into the McPolin Barn. Unfortunately, past attendees could only look into the barn from the outside, due to the structure’s instability.

Mountain Town Music sets a summer of concerts By SCOTT IWASAKI PARK CITY IMPROV: ‘LAUGHS ELEVATED’ TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Ryan Walsh will tell you Park City and Summit County offer a funky and unique cultural experience, which makes this area so appealing to residents and visitors alike. “I think everyone in the community can agree with that,” Walsh said during an interview with The Park Record. “And I think they would also agree that our live music scene plays a significant role in the distinctive fla- vor of our town.” Walsh should know. He’s the president of the board of directors for Mountain Town Music, a nonprofit that produces more than 300 free concerts in Park City and Summit County each year. “I believe we have made an impact producing so many events over the years which thousands of people enjoy in person each year,” he said. “Our audiences are made of friends and families from our community, but also visitors or people who come up from the valley to enjoy what we have to offer in terms of the live shows, fresh air, local businesses and restaurants in Park City.” Mountain Town Music’s 2017 summer season will officially begin Friday, June 2, at Woodenshoe Park in Peoa with local Americana band Lash LaRue. “This is a very cool venue and Lash LaRue is the right band to start the season off,” Walsh said. The event, which is free and open to the public, will start at 6:30 p.m. and will also serve as a Mountain Town Music member appreciation barbecue. “There are so many people in the community who support us,” Walsh said. “And we wanted to show how much they mean to us by inviting everyone out to a barbecue and concert on the first night of the season.” The membership appreciation will flow into the next evening during Mountain Town Music’s fifth annual Jamabalaya kickoff party, featuring the Monophonics, at O.P. Rockwell, located at 268 Main Street. Mountain Town hosts this event as a thank you and member appreciation event, although there will be a silent auction and donations will be accepted at the venue. The venue opens its doors at 6:30 p.m. for a private party for Mountain Town Music’s Vibe Tribe members, before opening up to the public at 9:30 p.m. for the concert. “The Vibe Tribe is the collection of folks who have made a donation of $50 or more to Mountain Town Please see Concerts, C-4 |
