Sunday, April 14th – Breck Closing Day
Matisyahu (2:00p.m.) – This year’s Closing Day at Breck will be like no other, as Matisyahu helps send off ski season in style with a free concert on the snow! Matisyahu fuses the contemporary styles of rap, beatboxing and hip-hop with the more traditional vocal disciplines of jazz’s scat singing and Judaism’s hazzan style of songful prayer, rolling it all into a dominant background of reggae. His hit single “King Without a Crown” launched him to stardom and was a Top 40 hit. He has been named Top Reggae Artist by Billboard and continues to produce inspirational hits that also contain deep meaning. Catch Matisyahu live for free on Sunday as part of the BudLight Free Concert Series as he performs on the Breck Spring Fever stage on the snow at the Peak 8 base; venue gates open at 2:00pm.
