After two years of waiting, the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience returned Friday night to the Snowmass Village Town Park, and the crowds came back just as strong.
A little rainstorm rolled through before Gary Clark Jr. came on the stage Friday night, but it didn’t deter the crowds, who stayed around as Kings of Leon came in and finished the first night of the three-day festival, which was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic.
