Jazz Aspen has pulled together a fantastic lineup this year. We’ll try to see every show during Labor Day weekend but these are a few not to miss.

Jack Johnson – Saturday, September 1st
Jack Johnson needs little introduction, releasing over 7 albums since 2001 and acting as the soundtrack for countless millenials. Hailing from Hawaii, growing up surfing the breaks along the North Shore of Oahu, including famed Pipeline, he’s a true acoustic songwriter for the modern age. His surfing took second place to his music and has since sold over 25 million albums worldwide. His most recent album landed at #4 on Billboard’s best album list.
Zac Brown Band – Sunday, September 2nd
The Zac Brown Band is one of the few modern groups that defy musical boundaries. They’ve received various accolades for both country and rock, pushing the limit on their recorded albums as well as live shows. Last year they played to over 1 million fans, and their appearance at Jazz Aspen will add another few thousand to the number.
