The Shins take to Ford Park stage as Snow Daze celebration kicks into higher gear

By Real Vail
December 12, 2012

The lineup of live entertainment and events at Vail Snow Daze, the annual festival to celebrate the start of winter, ramps up on Thursday, Dec. 13 with a live concert from The Shins with special guest Divine Fits in Ford Park.

Vail Snow Daze also includes concerts from Michael Franti & Spearhead on Friday, Dec. 14 and Wilco on Saturday, Dec. 15, as well as events to celebrate Vail's 50th Anniversary.

Grammy-nominated indie rockers The Shins take the stage Thursday night in Ford Park to kick off the Vail Snow Daze concert lineup. Well known for their songs “New Slang” and their current hit single “Simple Song,” The Shins have a melodic sound that is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

Opening for The Shins is rock powerhouse Divine Fits. The band, made up of Spoon's Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner, Sam Brown of New Bomb Turks and Alex Fischel of Papa, has been together as a band for less than a year. Though young, Divine Fits has received critical acclaim that pays homage to the band’s top-notch rock pedigree.

The concert venue at Ford Park opens at 6 p.m. and music will begin at 6:30 p.m.
