Step into a world of vintage jazz, haunted glamour, and southern revelry as the Squirrel Nut Zippers celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Hot with an exclusive weekend at the historic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO — the very hotel that inspired Stephen King’s The Shining.
The celebration kicks off Friday, March 20, as the Zippers present their “In The Afterlife” show a, 30th anniversary celebration of the album that captured lightning in a bottle and cemented the band’s legacy as one of the most original and unpredictable acts of the era. Later, the Zippers will transform the Stanley into a steamy French Quarter nightclub during the “Late Night New Orleans Throw Down” for hotel guests. During this raucous revelry, expect horns blaring, bodies moving, and the kind of wild, musical abandon that could make even the Overlook’s ghosts want to dance.
The weekend continues Saturday, March 21, with a “New Orleans Jazz Brunch” featuring members of SNZ performing as the Back O’ Town Allstars— channeling the joyful spirit and sound of Frenchman Street. Guests will enjoy a feast of music and flavor complete with horns, drums, and Bloody Marys — the perfect Saturday session. After the brunch, guests staying at the Stanley Hotel will enjoy an exclusive meet-and-greet with the band, including autograph and photo opportunities. The party continues that evening as the Zippers, once again, present another “In The Afterlife” show…
