When The String Cheese Incident’s growth first began gaining momentum in the 1990s, as the internet was taking hold and the major-label business model was beginning to fail, the band decided to make music on their own terms.

As the Captain of the Ballet Company at Radio City Music Hall in the 1970’s, Heidi Frazier, who also did extra work in Hollywood (Grease 2, Under the Rainbow, Bladerunner), truly set the stage for Pi to come leaping in to join her!
​
Pi began dancing as soon as she could stand-up and began taking dance class everyday in her mother’s School of Dance in Crested Butte, Colorado (which was started in the early 80’s and is still running to this day!) Pi became professionally trained in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical/Contemporary, Modern, Belly Dancing, Ballroom, and later, Pole Dancing and Fire dancing

June 27 = Seratones - 8:30 p.m. at the Center for the Arts-Those words of Black feminist icon and poet warrior Audre Lorde’s resonate strongly with A.J. Haynes. Whether in her capacity as the frontwoman of the Shreveport, Louisiana-based funk-soul-rock group Seratones or as a reproductive rights advocate, Haynes knows well that no singular revolution or simple linear narrative can contain the true strength of revolution—the kind of complex, disruptive, personal revolutions that can open transformative portals to a better future. And on Seratones’ forthcoming third album, Love & Algorhythms (due April 22nd via New West Records), Haynes foregrounds the joyful struggle to find pleasure in a world designed to destroy you. “This is a protest album built on the form of protest I’m most interested in at this moment: getting present and sitting through difficult things with abundant joy,” Haynes says.

With roots in the local music community and a sound that feels both polished and approachable, Quartz Alley Combo deliver a live experience that is stylish, dynamic, and deeply connected to the creative pulse of the Gunnison Valley.
