ABOUT CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN (CATS)

Originally formed from an idea that concert impresario Peter Shapiro had about commissioning original set-break music at the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary concerts (“Fare Thee Well”), Circles Around The Sun is a first-of-its-kind band that has continued to trail-blaze the instrumental cosmic disco space for nearly a decade, shapeshifting through several iterations. Not just spiritually but actually and tangibly linked to Grateful Dead history, the band’s music shares shelf space with post-rock, psych-rock, jazz-funk, and good old fashioned psychedelia, while their recorded output has included collaborations with such diverse luminaries as Joe Russo, Billy Strings and Mikaela Davis. Original instrumentals form the bedrock of CATS’ live show, taking fans on a whole different journey every time.

Surf Hotel concerts offer guests a laid-back mountain town vibe. Our idea of a great hotel extends beyond the bedroom where the lobby is your living room and the great outdoors is your backyard. With an emphasis on quality and simplicity, each hotel room is designed to offer a sense of escape—from dreamy beds to durable furnishings by trusted artisans. The Ivy Ballroom, located on the ground floor, overlooks the waves of the Buena Vista Whitewater Park and features classic arched windows and French doors with streamlined, industrial simplicity.
