Andy Grammer at Copper Mountain

ANDY GRAMMER:

Andy Grammer has taken the music world by storm with a succession of anthemic pop hits, six of which are certified gold or better. His debut album featured the platinum singles “Keep Your Head Up” and “Fine By Me.” Andy’s second album, Magazines or Novels, featured the quadruple platinum worldwide hit “Honey, I’m Good,” which was one of the best-selling songs of 2015, and the certified gold anthem “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah).” Andy’s third full length album, The Good Parts, was released in December 2017 and includes his global smash hit “Fresh Eyes,” which has become a global streaming phenomenon with over 350 million total streams, with a new album coming later this Spring.

The Struts

THE STRUTS:

In just a few years, The Struts have found themselves massively embraced by some of the greatest icons in rock-and-roll history. Along with opening for The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Guns N’ Roses, the U.K.-bred four-piece was hand-picked by Mötley Crüe to serve as the supporting act for their last-ever performances.

Formed in Derby, England, in 2012, The Struts almost instantly drew a major following with their outrageous live show, and later made their debut with Have You Heard (a 2015 EP whose lead single “Could Have Been Me” hit #1 on Spotify’s viral chart). Before they’d even put out their first album, the band opened for The Rolling Stones before a crowd of 80,000 in Paris and toured the U.S. on a string of sold-out shows.

On their sophomore album YOUNG&DANGEROUS, The Struts let loose with the sing-along-ready and riff-heavy sound they’ve brought to stadiums and arenas all around the world. Working with producers like Butch Walker (Weezer, Panic! At the Disco) and Sam Hollander (Fitz and the Tantrums, Neon Trees), the band adorns that sound with deeper grooves and more inventive textures, dreaming up a majestic glam-rock revamp that’s unabashedly fun but full of pure heart.

The lead single from their album YOUNG&DANGEROUS, “Body Talks” is a blues-spiked track capturing what lead vocalist Luke Spiller calls “that moment when you mosey on over to someone on the dance floor, and the music’s blaring so loud you can’t even talk to each other.”

 

RED BULL SLOPESOAKERS

Come close out snow season with a splash and take a chance at Red Bull SlopeSoakers! A twist on the traditional pond-skim, the 8th annual SlopeSoakers contest gives competitors the chance to strut their stuff across floating rails, helping Copper end another winter season in style. Open to both ski and snowboard categories, this unique contest combines a Slopestyle Rail Jam and a Pond Skim. Anyone (18+) who wants to test the waters can register for $30. 2019 will have larger ponds and bigger features so the chances to get wet are greater than ever before. Come one, come all, bring a guest, and hang loose.
