DESCRIPTION:Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band is a labor of love for Azaria\, a life-long Springsteen fan. “I’ve never worked harder preparing for any role than I did in perfecting a singing vocal impression of Bruce\,” said Azaria. \nAcclaimed actor and voice artist\, Azaria is perhaps best known for his decades of work on The Simpsons. Now he’s using his voice in a new and different way\, and having a blast entertaining people in a live\, concert setting. Azaria spent months creating an impression of Bruce’s distinctive speaking cadence and singing ‘voice’ to conceive the tribute show. As Azaria told Rolling Stone\, “I think of it as a theatrical performance\,” he says. “I’m staying in character as Bruce even though I’m telling stories about myself. It’s a performance piece\, but I’m not a Bruce impersonator.” \nThe tribute performance itself is a joyful\, full-tilt rock ’n roll event\, and Azaria’s physicality and flair are a true homage to Bruce. Azaria channels many familiar components of Bruce Springsteen’s iconography: intimate\, irreverent storytelling\, connection to family\, preternatural stamina\, camaraderie with the band\, and a palpable love for performing. Azaria has delivered a show we want to root for – invigorating\,upbeat and ambitious. \nMembers of the EZ Street Band have performed with top artists like Ariana Grande\, Post Malone\, Lil Nas X\, Josh Groban\, and Cynthia Erivo\, and opened for Modest Mouse\, Carly Rae Jepsen\, Lake Street Dive\, and Charlie Puth. They’ve appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\, Jimmy Kimmel Live\, Good Morning America\, and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts\, and played major stages including Coachella\, Bonnaroo\, Carnegie Hall\, and Broadway’s Tony Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen. Their original music and compositions have been featured on The Voice\, The Expanse\, and across HBO and ESPN programming.

SUMMARY:Ronan Donovan: Exploring our Wild Nature: Wolves\, Chimps & Gorillas
DESCRIPTION:Wolf-Whisperer. Wildlife Biologist. Natural History Filmmaker. \nWhat does it mean to be human? We are\, at our core\, social mammals. We build relationships\, communicate\, reproduce\, establish territories\, and adapt to shrinking resources. In these ways\, we’re no different from other social mammals. Chimpanzees\, wolves\, and gorillas are among the most charismatic mammals we know. We identify with them as species\, groups\, and even as named individuals. All social mammals live in groups to achieve together what they cannot do alone. Join biologist-turned-photographer Ronan Donovan as he shares what he’s learned documenting these animals\, and the insights he believes we—as fellow social mammals—can learn from our wild kin. \nNational Geographic Explorer Ronan Donovan is a wildlife biologist turned conservation photographer. He uses visual storytelling to illuminate stories related to our fellow social mammals to remind us that we are all connected and to promote the preservation of our shared habitat. Ronan has embedded for months at a time\, year after year\, with wild families of wolves\, chimpanzees\, and mountain gorillas to capture imagery that highlights their challenges\, behaviors\, and family bonds. His time in the field has resulted in five National Geographic magazine feature stories on the conservation status of these species. You can watch Ronan in action in Kingdom of the White Wolf (Disney+) and in Planet Earth 3 (Amazon Prime). His first photo exhibition\, titled Wolves\, will be traveling for the next 3 years. \nPresented in Association with Aspen Center for Environmental Studies \n  \nPhoto by Leigh Vogel

SUMMARY:Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon & Erik Deutsch of Black Crowes
DESCRIPTION:In Colorado in 2016\, pianist Erik Deutsch ( Black Crowes) and banjoist Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon) met for the first time\, when Erik showed up for his first Leftover Salmon gig at the Stanley Hotel. It didn’t take long for the like-minded musicians to click. Over the next four years\, Leftover Salmon’s stage-left lit up as the two developed an undeniable musical chemistry. In their original collaborations\, they blend piano and banjo to create lush acoustic landscapes and classical-inflected forays. Their original songs dance between bluegrass\, jazz\, and folk\, while showcasing the musical connection and language that these two accomplished players have honed on stage over the years. \nLeftover Salmon banjo player Andy Thorn never expected to go viral. But in 2021\, he was in his backyard\, playing an improvised banjo tune to a wild fox\, when his wife caught the whole thing on video. The video made headlines around the world. Soon\, Andy was interviewed on the Kelly Clarkson Show and A & E’s Neighborhood Wars. Even NPR’s Political Gabfest discussed the video. A New York Times writer called it “a moment plucked from Aesop.” \nStunned by the publicity\, Andy finally recorded it (“Aesop Mountain”)\, along with 14 other banjo instrumentals. The resulting album\, “Songs of the Sunrise Fox\,” stands in contrast to the music Andy normally plays with Leftover Salmon. This album isn’t about the flashy banjo picking favored by jam bands. Instead\, it’s the banjo melodies Andy would play for his friend “Foxy” at sunrise. \n \nPianist and genre-bending sideman\, Erik Deutsch currently resides in Mexico City. Over the 30-year span of his career in Brooklyn and Boulder\, he has performed and recorded with pop\, rock\, country\, and jazz artists like Norah Jones\, Citizen Cope\, Shooter Jennings\, Shelby Lynne\,  Joe Russo\, Steven Tyler\, Ron Wood\, Lukas Nelson\, Levon Helm\, John Scofield\, Phil Lesh\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Bill Kreutzman\, Del McCoury\, Warren Haynes\, Karl Denson\, and many more. \nSince 2022\, Erik has been the full-time keyboardist for rock legends The Black Crowes\, performing on five different continents and being an integral musical contributor to their Grammy-nominated album ‘Happiness Bastards’. \nA prolific composer and bandleader in his own right\, Erik’s eight solo albums have received critical acclaim by RollingStone\, Jazz Times\, USA Today\, and the Huffington Post\, including Relix magazine naming Deutsch’s album ‘Outlaw Jazz’ the #16 best album of 2015. Recently voted the #5 Rising Star Organist in Downbeat Magazine’s annual poll\, and  recognized in consecutive years. Erik’s 9th LP—’This Was Then’—is due in July of 2025 on Hammer & String. \n \n

SUMMARY:Iris DeMent
DESCRIPTION:Iris DeMent brings her powerful new album\, Workin’ On A World\, to Aspen for an evening of unforgettable music and reflection. Known for her deeply moving voice—described by John Prine as “like you’ve heard\, but not really”—DeMent has long been one of America’s most respected singer-songwriters. Her music blends gospel\, hymns\, and old country traditions with a fierce commitment to truth and justice. \nWith a career spanning over three decades\, DeMent’s debut album Infamous Angel was recently named one of Rolling Stone’s “Greatest Country Albums of All Time.” Her follow-up records\, My Life and The Way I Should\, both earned GRAMMY nominations.

Tracks like “How Long” and “Warriors of Love” pay tribute to figures like Martin Luther King and John Lewis\, while “Say A Good Word” and “Waycross\, Georgia” explore themes of compassion\, aging\, and healing. The album\, six years in the making\, was co-produced with Richard Bennett\, Pieta Brown\, and Jim Rooney\, and completed in Nashville in 2022. \nThis performance is a rare opportunity to experience DeMent’s music live—songs that serve as both balm and battle cry in uncertain times.

SUMMARY:Garrison Keillor Tonight
DESCRIPTION:Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up\, storytelling\, audience sing-alongs\, and poetry. One man\, one microphone.\nThe performance features sung sonnets\, limericks\, and musical jokes—all woven together by reflections on the beauty of growing older. Despite its inconveniences\, old age brings a kind of contentment: the wisdom that less is more. With your big ambitions and past mistakes behind you\, there’s nothing left to prove—and great joy can be found in life’s smaller moments. \nAs Keillor puts it:\n“I was unhappy in college because it was a requirement for an intellectual\, but then I went into show business and discovered that people won’t pay to be made unhappy—their kids will do it for free.” \nThe evening also includes the beloved News from Lake Wobegon\, where the town is buzzing with new entrepreneurs—makers of artisanal firewood\, gourmet meatloaf\, breeders of composting worms\, and dogs trained to do childcare. Yet\, some traditions endure\, like the annual Living Flag formation on Main Street\, with citizens donning red\, white\, and blue caps. Keillor stands shoulder to shoulder with familiar neighbors like Myrtle Krebsbach (“Truckstop”)\, Julie Christensen (“Bruno\, The Fishing Dog”)\, and Clint Bunsen. The evening concludes with a heartfelt a cappella sing-along\, as the audience joins in from memory on a medley of patriotic songs\, pop standards\, and hymns—culminating in the national anthem. \n
