featured music performance:

Lucero

Since forming in Memphis in the late 90’s, Lucero’s base musical hallmarks have remained similar to the band’s initial sound established with their first record The Attic Tapes. In the history of their expansive discography, Lucero has evolved and embraced everything from southern rock to Stax-inspired Memphis soul, whilst simultaneously maintaining their distinctive sonic foundations. Over 20 years later, dedicated fans of the group still flock to hear the band’s punchy driving rhythms, punk-rooted guitar licks, and lyrics that evoke the whiskey drenched sentimentality of Americana singer-songwriters. As expected of any band built to survive, Lucero has welcomed change over the course of their career, but it has always been on their terms.

This concert have been completely sold out - until now. The owner of the hotel has generously decided to release these 100 tickets to the public. These tickets are exclusive to The Stanley Hotel guest only.

Stanley Hotel Tintype Portraits

Presented by Boulder, Colorado
Tintype Artist P. Cavan BrownInvented in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer, wet plate tintypes were the first prominent form of photography. They are called "Wet Plates" because a darkroom is on set and every step must be completed before the chemistry dries out. Authentic and one-of-a-kind, tintypes have a magical, handmade quality and will last for many generations to come. Why go home with a T-shirt when you can leave with an Heirloom?
We are excited to offer Tintype Portraits at the Westerns & Whiskey Weekend at the WESTERN MARKET. Create your authentic 1850s style Wet Plate Tintype by reserving your spot in advance."
