Gift Guide #4: For the Music Lover

12/11/2025 03:07PM ● By Skylar Leeson
For the ones who live with a soundtrack, these gift picks deliver the rhythm of winter in Ski Town, U.S.A.
WinterWonderGrass tickets. This winter, the festival takes place Friday-Sunday, Feb. 27-March 1. With headliners like The Infamous Stringdusters, Leftover Salmon and Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country, it's sure to be a rockin' good weekend. Buy a three day pass for $289 online at www.winterwondergrass.com.

A wireless speaker. There are several options at Ace Hardware (2155 Curve Plaza) but the JBL Flip 7 Wireless Bluetooth Portable Speaker is highly rated, well-priced and a good size for a kitchen counter or an adventure.


Tickets to a show at Strings. In January, upcoming shows include Sam Grisman Project (Thursday, Jan. 8), Mat Kearney (Friday, Jan. 16) and Yonder Mountain String Band (Thursday, Jan. 22). Check out the full lineup at www.stringsmusicfestival.com.

Ski helmet headphones. Combine a skier and a music lover and this is the perfect gift to keep them rocking all the way down the mountain. Locally, Ski Haus (1457 Pine Grove Rd.) carries options.

A night out at a local music venue. Schmiggity's and Old Town Pub offer live music (and dinner, drinks and dancing!) all winter long. Check the schedule online to purchase tickets in advance for a memorable date night.
