Spring Fever Concerts

Breck Spring Fever 2015 Header

2015 Concert dates:
The 2015 Spring Fever concert lineup is here! Four amazing bands will make this year’s Spring Fever unforgettable, and check back for updates through the season!

Third Eye Blind - Breck Spring Fever

Sat. April 11, 2015 – Third Eye Blind

Third Eye Blind over the last few years has developed a proud story of a band that clearly feels alive in live performance. The intensity of 3EB’s fans attests to the energy this group creates. 3EB shows are about taking a moment to sing loud and remember you’re alive.  And it’s a sight to see from the stage or the audience. The band has been jamming in advance of recording their new album, so this tour will see a band at its most confident in it’s efforts to discover new ways every night to surprise and transcend.

Eric Paslay Spring Fever
Sun. April 12, 2015 – Eric Paslay

Eric Paslay is a charismatic performer and powerful vocalist who knows how to connect with an audience. His singles “Friday Night” and “Song About A Girl” were chart-topping hits and his current single “She Don’t Love You” is steadily climbing while gaining massive critical acclaim. Not only an artist, he’s a sought after songwriter, crafting No. 1 singles for Jake Owen, Rascal Flatts, Love & Theft and Eli Young Band. Paslay’s musical talents are best showcased during his live performances, where he sings his songs, those he’s written and commands the stage with one of the most remarkable voices in country music.

American Authors Spring Fever
Sat. April 18, 2015 – American Authors

Self-described “laid-back dudes,” American Authors is comprised of Zac Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matt Sanchez (drums). Together they hail from the four corners of the country, each bringing their own influences and experiences to the writing table to create pop-flavored alt rock sprinkled with four-part harmonies, spirited lyrics, and contagious optimism.

Infamous Sting Dusters Spring Fever
Sun. April 19, 2015 – The Infamous Stringdusters

The Infamous Stringdusters have proven they can both mine the past and look forward to the unknown, and their new album is a touchstone for a group of tightly bonded musicians completely comfortable with each other and their collective identity. Perhaps the sentiment is best summarized through five joined voices in the mountaintop gospel-hued title track: “If it’s worry you’ve been feeling over things you can’t control, it’s time to let it go.”

Additional Venue Information:
For 2015, we will no longer be allowing dogs at the Spring Fever concerts. Only accredited service dogs wearing vests will be allowed to the base area, but will still NOT be allowed inside the concert perimeter. They must stay outside the venue, and remain in areas like the patio.
