Jonny Lang returns to Beaver Creek as a part of his “Live… by Request” tour, which allows fans to log on to Lang’s website (jonnylang.com) and request songs for him to perform live at the VPAC. Lang’s music is a cool blend of blues, rock, zydeco-tinged gospel and jazz. “The voice of a grizzled blues veteran… and guitar skills to match” (US News and World Report).
Mary Chapin Carpenter Thursday, July 29 8pm $72
Folk singer/songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter has been awarded five Grammys and sold over 13 million records. Her insightful lyrics and singular melodies have come to define decades of American music for her fans.

Keb’ Mo’ Thursday, August 5 9pm $58
Always performing to a full house, Keb’ Mo’ is the most requested artist in the history of the VPAC. The Grammy-winner’s distinctive sound embraces multiple eras and genres, including pop, rock, folk and jazz. In total, it owes as much to contemporary music’s singer/songwriter movement (encompassing his longtime friends and collaborators Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne), as to the spirit of blues godfather Robert Johnson that dwells in his work.
