Red AlertRock out to tunes like “Drops of Jupiter” and “House of the Rising Sun,” along with original music by Carbon Red in Pagosa Springs. This local band doesn’t have any set particular style and is willing to jam out to whatever mood the crowd is feeling, whether it be country or rock. Joined by Mike Sauce, these two groups are going to light up Coyote Moon Bar & Grill in a performance you’ll be sorry you missed…so don’t be sorry. Just go instead.
