Get ready for a high-octane night of raw, unapologetic rock and roll as The Yawpers take over the Sherbino stage!

For over 15 years, The Yawpers have built a reputation as one of the most electrifying rock bands on the road—driven by gritty guitar riffs, relentless energy, and a sound that pulls from garage rock, punk, blues, and Americana. Their live shows are loud, fast, and wildly infectious—exactly the kind of experience that reminds you why rock and roll still matters.

Now hitting the road with new music on the horizon, The Yawpers are bringing their signature intensity and edge back to Ridgway. Whether you’ve seen them before or are jumping in for the first time, expect a sweat-soaked, no-holds-barred performance that leaves it all on the stage.

Make a Night (or Weekend) of It!
We’re proud to partner with Chipeta Lodge Resort + Spa, White Buffalo Bar + Restaurant, and Greenwoods Restaurant to help you turn your concert experience into a full evening—or even a weekend getaway.

Traveling from out of town? Book a room at the beautiful Chipeta Lodge Resort + Spa and enjoy walkable access to dining, drinks, and one of Ridgway’s most vibrant live music venues. Staying local? We encourage you to support our fantastic sponsors by heading out to dinner before the show at Greenwoods or the White Buffalo at Chipeta—both excellent options for a relaxed, delicious start to your night.

Chipeta Lodge Resort + Spa wishes to welcome you with this special offer: Use this booking link for a $50 dining credit with a room booking for the night of the show! This dining credit is for Chipeta Lodge’s lovely White Buffalo Bar + Restaurant. With breathtaking views of the San Juans and locally sourced ingredients, a dinner at the White Buffalo before the show makes for the perfect night out!

Supporting our sponsors helps make nights like this possible, and we’re grateful to share this show with businesses that invest in Ridgway’s arts and culture.
