The summer is in full swing at The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts. Continuing each Thursday through July 30th, the Shane Center presents a free community concert at the Henry Blake pavilion from 5 to 8 pm. On July 16th, come to the Blake Pavilion for a night of Texas Country/Americana music with the Bo DePeña Band!
Colorado-based songwriter/performer Bo DePeña has developed a reputation as a consummate working musician. Over the years, his high-energy shows have generated a loyal fan base around the mountain west, and it’s clear to see why fans of the country music tradition embrace his songs.
From Texas to Colorado to South Dakota to Montana, Bo’s music can be heard at bars, breweries, rodeos, honky tonks, and beyond. Bo has shared stages with artists such as William Clark Green, Chris Knight, Dale Watson, William Michael Morgan, Ned LeDoux, and Colter Wall. His lyrical content is often universal, evoking memories of past lives, lost loves, and a longing for home. This explains why his followers are an eclectic bunch, encompassing many backgrounds, tastes, and persuasions. If you are a fan of good stories, good tunes, and good vibes, you won’t want to miss a Bo DePeña show.
The Shane Center was so taken with Bo in 2025 he was booked to return before he took his first set break.
The community is encouraged to arrive early, bring chairs or blankets and please, no outside food or beverages. Enjoy the music and try rotating options from local food truck vendors, as well as beverages and snacks from the State Farm caboose, including soft drinks, beer, wine, popcorn and more.
