Summer at I Bar Ranch is bigger than concerts. It’s jobs, weddings, tourism, local gathering, late nights under the stars, and bringing live music to the Gunnison Valley all season long.

With 12 concerts and 13 weddings on the calendar this summer, we’re proud to continue creating experiences that support our local economy and keep this valley vibrant.

But bringing national touring artists to a small mountain town doesn’t happen alone. Our local and regional business sponsors help make these nights possible — from the stage lights to the sound, staffing, and everything in between.

If your business believes in community, live music, and keeping the magic of summer alive in the Gunnison Valley, we’d love to partner with you.

Interested in becoming a sponsor for the 2026 concert season? Reach out to Katie Lewinger at events@ibarranch.com.

We can’t wait to spend another summer with you all out at the Ranch.

If you were there last time, you know.

From major festival stages like Cali Roots, Reggae Rise Up, and Reggae on the Mountain to performances across the Philippines and beyond, E.N has become a respected force in the reggae scene both on stage and behind the boards.

With over 1,250 songs produced at Imperial Sound Studio for artists including Steel Pulse, Rebelution, Stick Figure, Alborosie, and more — plus his signature melodica, talk box, and live dub effects — this is a set you’ll want to catch from the very beginning.
