SNOWMASS — Ski season is sort of over; time to begin focusing on warmer-weather on-hill activities. Like concert-going.

Jazz Aspen Snowmass has released the lineup for the Snowmass Free Concert series, the ever-popular events that draw families, wine-sippers, picnickers and even listeners to Fanny Hill on Thursday nights in the summer.

The series opens June 26 with the Drew Emmitt Band, led by the singer and multi-instrumentalist of the bluegrass-inspired Colorado band, Leftover Salmon. Midwestern rock group the Freddy Jones Band — not led by, nor even including anyone named Freddy Jones — follows on July 3.

Santa Monica-based Gaelic Storm, which mixed Celtic folk and Celtic rock, is set for July 10. On July 17, Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, a hot swing group featuring the distinctive singer Hicks, take the hill.

Ruthie Foster, a Texas-based singer who blends soul and folk, performs July 24, on the heels of last year’s CD, “The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster.” Bonerama, a New Orleans brass band featuring four trombones, is set for July 31.

Great American Taxi, a folk-leaning group led by another Leftover Salmon founder, Vince Herman, plays Aug. 7. Guitarist Robben Ford, who earned a Grammy nomination in the contemporary blues category for last year’s “Truth,” follows on Aug. 14.

The series closes Aug. 21, with an act to be announced.
