“Live at the Antlers" featuring Mihali

The Fourth edition of the Live at the Antlers series will take place on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 at 7pm. Admission is $225 and that cost is including entertainment, food, beverage (both alcohol or non-alcoholic dinner pairings), and your opportunity to be at this very special recording of Live at the Antlers with Mihali. A cash bar will be available beyond our menu pairings.

There is a pre-sale opportunity for guests who took a leap of faith and bought into any of our previous "Live at The Antlers" events and we will be sending an email out to those guests with an access code to purchase tickets early. General public tickets will go on sale Friday, October 25th at 10am MST. Please reach out to Anthony at ant@franciosibros.com or Séan at otpsean@gmail.com with any questions, we will do our best to answer your question right away. We do believe this event will reach capacity, and will not be able to add more seats if and when that time arrives.

"Live at The Antler's" is not only be a special event, but has become a special series that will forever live on. We are bringing something new to the table and beyond, join us for an evening that will satisfy all the senses a human can enjoy with a fine menu, incredible music, and a wonderful atmosphere.

- - We can't wait to host Mihali, so many of us have been seeing him perform live for decades with Twiddle. Not only have I seen Twiddle, I've been fortunate enough to see some other amalgamations Mihali has been involved in including Gubbalibidis and many Mihali solo shows. He is a Grammy winning, multiple Grammy nominee and has been touring the country and world relentlessly for over 15 years. It’s an honor to have one of my all time favorite songwriters and Grammy recognized guitar virtuoso come tell a few stories, sing a few songs and share an exquisite meal in the coolest old bar in the west. -Anthony

As this event will be video recorded, we do ask for our guests to be on board with what we are presenting. All guests must acknowledge that they may be photographed and videotaped as this series will reach video streaming platforms, in particular our own YouTube channel. We ask that when Mihali is playing, our guests kindly refrain from moving around the restaurant as well as chatting. It will be great to have full attention on the artist, and will really help capture the evening.

Dining you ask? You know it, Chef Chris "Hippie" Vargoshe is commanding our kitchen, offering a top-notch coursed meal that is sure to please the palette and the soul simultaneously. Chris is a friend of the family and proprietor of local company Elevated Cuisine. As a consultant to our family of restaurants and owner of his own private chef business, Chef Chris as my son Joey calls him, is an artist in his own right and the perfect Chef for "Live at the Antlers".

My good friend and owner of Old Town Pub, Séan Regan, will also be playing a pivotal role here. Séan has been bringing quality entertainment to Steamboat for many years and his desire to offer a fun and comfortable experience will be a very nice touch to helping us achieve this goal. He will be leading the charge on the production side and helping to book top shelf talent for future evenings.

The event will be recorded live and mixed by none other Dan Long. Dan was the long time sound engineer for OTP, Strings Music Pavilion, Beaver Creek's The Vilar, and Franciosi Bros. More recently Dan is the touring front of house engineer for Leftover Salmon. Legend that will live forever is Dan’s role in mixing the super group of Billy Strings wedding day…if you know you know. If you don't, it may have included a guy named Bobby with his pals Trey and Les.

Rounding out this crew of magicians is the proprietor of The Antlers who has opened his doors for me and all of you, Tim Kirkpatrick. Without TK’s desire to see a revival of the quaint and amazing town of Yampa, this event surely would not be finding fruition, I am grateful for his hard work and opportunity he is offering for myself, this team, and above all this community.

We are surely in the right hands to offer a primo experience, from top to bottom, and we are excited to host this new series “Live at The Antlers”. Thank you for being a part of this crazy idea, let’s have a good time with it. Below is the menu from a previous Live at the Antlers, it will offer an ideas of the flavors Hippie puts together! A new menu experience from Elevated Cuisine will be served featuring local producers! Check out this video from the Vince Herman episode, it was one for the ages and it is easy to say that Vince loved the food, the people, and the vibe!
