GUNNISON — The iconic Casino Star Theatre proudly presents another exciting live performance in its series, featuring The Fabled Folks in a free bluegrass concert at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 5.

Hailing from Utah County, The Fabled Folks are renowned for their captivating fusion of folk, bluegrass, rock, jazz, and Celtic music influences. They are known for their imaginative interpretations of cherished classics and original compositions, evoking a spectrum of emotions from heartfelt to humorous. With engaging onstage banter, harmonious vocal harmonies, and remarkable instrumental prowess, The Fabled Folks guarantee an unforgettable live experience.

The band comprises talented musicians, including Jason Fullmer on guitar, Abby Sudweeks on mandolin, Grace Monson on fiddle, James Moyar on pipes/whistle, and Kya Karine on bass. Together, they have cultivated a unique sound that bridges musical genres.

Fans can look forward to The Fabled Folks’ upcoming Fall release, a cover of Bela Fleck’s “Big Country,” available on all major streaming platforms.

This performance by The Fabled Folks is presented in collaboration with the Utah non-profit organization Excellence in the Community, which has organized over 1100 free concerts featuring local professional musicians in Utah since 2012. During the pandemic, they transitioned to live-streamed shows from Salt Lake City’s Gallivan Center, amassing over 38 million views.

Since its establishment in 1913, the Casino Star Theatre has been a cultural and entertainment cornerstone in Gunnison and its neighboring regions. As a nonprofit organization, it remains committed to preserving its historic venue and delivering top-tier arts and entertainment to central Utah valleys. Operating as the local arts agency, The Casino Star Theatre Foundation regularly collaborates with other local entities, contributing to public arts projects like the recently completed ocean-themed outdoor mural on the north side of the Gunnison Valley Swimming Pool. Although admission to this event is free, donations to the Casino Star Theatre Foundation are greatly appreciated, both in person and through casinostartheatre.com.

The success of the Casino Star Theatre Live Event Season is made possible by the generous support of local sponsorship partners, including Rocky Mountain Power, Julia and Roland Christensen, and Dr. Richard Nay. The season will continue with performances by Colorado’s beloved traditional Western music group, the Bar D Wranglers, on November 8, and Utah’s “Mr. Christmas,” Kurt Bestor, on Dec. 18.
