Fire Benefit Night: Four Bands for the Animals, July 18
The Royal Gorge Whitewater Festival was canceled by the Aspen Acres Fire. The music is not. Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts, Denver's award-winning outlaw country band (Westword 10 Best Colorado Country Musicians, 2026) - take over the White Water patio Saturday, July 18. Music at 8 PM. 100% of ticket and VIP table proceeds go to Aspen Acres Fire victims. Every dollar of your ticket or table helps neighbors who lost the most this summer.

VIP Table ($400): the only way to reserve a table for the night. Your table is locked in for your group all night - no open-seating scramble. One table per booking. Live music from 6 PM: Binding Isaac opens, and Ryan Chrys & The Rough Cuts take the stage at 8. Full bar all night; kitchen open until 9 PM. Outdoor show, rain or shine.
