Locals’ Night with Tommy the Animal, Nov. 7
Call all Roaring Fork Valley residents: Locals’ night will feature Tommy the Animal at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 7 at Belly Up Aspen. Tommy the Animal blends indie rock, alt-country, and Americana into a raw, melodic sound. Hailing from nearby Carbondale, they’ve drawn on influences like Wilco, Neil Young, and the Grateful Dead “to craft songs that feel like road trips and barroom conversations.” For more information, go to TommytheAnimalTickets.

Leon Majcen at Belly Up Aspen, Nov. 12
November’s musical month in Aspen continues with opener Leon Majcen, 8 p.m. Nov. 12 at Belly Up Aspen. The Nashville-based artist’s latest performance will be a chance to hear songs from his fourth album, “Making a Livin’ (Not a Killin),” released on Oct. 17.
Majcen shared with the Aspen Times: “Glad that these songs are finally out. I poured my heart into making this album and it’s been great getting to play them around the country night after night for people. I’m a lucky guy getting to make a living this way.”
Majcen’s soulful sound is a compelling blend of American, folk, and country, rooted in his personal story: though raised in Florida, he is the talented offspring of Bosnian war refugees. For more information, go to BellyUpAspenTickets.
