This year’s version of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience music festival concluded Sunday night with rock icon Stevie Nicks, of Fleetwood Mac fame, taking the stage at Snowmass Town Park.

Still sprightly at 74, Nicks talked about how she wrote one of the band’s most popular songs, “Landslide,” while in Aspen in 1974. Marc Broussard and Little Big Town also helped close out the experience on Sunday.

Saturday’s headliner was Chris Stapleton, while Leon Bridges got the festival going on Friday night.
