New Colorado music festival set in Weston

Grace Potter, Lucero and the North Mississippi Allstars are just a few of the big- name acts playing a new music festival in an unexpected Colorado town.

Caveman Music Festival will host its inaugural threeday event Sept. 2- 4 at the Monument Lake Resort in Weston, 40 miles west of Trinidad, according to an announcement. Tickets range from $ 200 for general admission to $ 2,000- plus for super VIP, and go on sale April 15 at 10 a. m. at go. cavemanmusicfestival. com.

The festival is the product of a partnership between Brett Mcgraw, owner of Buckhorn Ridge Outfitters, the company that owns the venue, and musicians Red Shahan and Parker Morrow.

“For many years, Monument Lake Resort has been known as ‘ The Hidden Gem of Colorado,’ ” Mcgraw said in a statement. “We’ve got our historic 368- acre resort deep in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, a mile- long private lake and the most beautiful scenery you will find in Colorado.”

Tickets do not include lodging. However, the price does include a shuttle pass to take festivalgoers to the venue site. Ticketing packages start at

$ 470 per person and include the option to camp or stay at a hotel, plus shuttle service to the festival.

Also of note, Dierks Bentley’s Seven Peaks Music Festival is slated to return for a third year at a new venue in Villa Grove, about 45 miles south of Buena Vista, Sept. 2- 4.
