Guster show turns up volume on Vail Snow Daze

The lineup of live entertainment and events at Vail Snow Daze, the annual festival to celebrate the start of winter, will ramp up today with a free concert at Solaris in Vail Village from alternative rockers Guster.

Guster will take the stage this evening for a show that is sure to keep the crowds warm even as the temperatures drop. Opening for Guster will be folk rock band The White Buffalo.

Guster is known for putting on a rockin' live show punctuated with hits and plenty of humor. The quartet has toured with such luminaries as the Dave Matthews Band, Bob Dylan and the Barkenaked Ladies and their show is sure to include songs from their newest album, Easy Wonderful.

The concert venue at Solaris will open at 6 p.m. and the music will begin at 6:30 p.m.
