As for the inspiration for the exclusive concert series, Pluta said resort owner David Pratt “really just wanted to bring music and offer something completely intimate and unique to our existing and new guests.”

Pluta said music offerings at the resort in the past have included Routt County bands for several weeks in the summertime such as the duo Chamberlain Birch and soul grass band Buffalo Commons.

“But we have never advertised music; it was more of a nice surprise for our guests,” Pluta said.

The Three Forks Ranch website notes the location sports a private ski mountain with 1,000 skiable vertical feet and a 6,000-square-foot spa. The ranch includes a working cattle operation with the Little Snake River running through the property. The ranch has been owned by Pratt, a minority owner of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, since 1999, and includes some 50,000 acres in Colorado and 150,000 acres in Wyoming.
