LIVE MUSIC
Live music is part of the heartbeat at Loveland Aleworks.
In the winter months, we bring the sound indoors to our cozy loading dock, where Saturdays are all about great beer and even better music. When the weather warms up, the party expands—live music moves outside to our beer garden on Fridays and Saturdays, turning long evenings into laid-back, beer-in-hand soundtracks.
We feature a rotating lineup of talented local and regional musicians spanning bluegrass, country, acoustic rock, crowd-pleasing cover bands, and beyond. Whether you’re here to discover a new favorite artist or sing along to something familiar, there’s always something worth sticking around for.

kelly aspen & brandon sipes
Saturday, September 12 | 5-7 PM
Across the Rocky Mountains and Denver front range, Kelly Aspen’s exceptional vocal ability, intense songwriting and never-ceasing passion have established her as a successful international artist, but it’s her outgoing spirit and love for the fans that have gained her the reputation as “Colorado’s Country Sweetheart”. A native Texan, Kelly was literally moved by the music when her mother fell in love with Colorado, inspired by the songs of John Denver. Kelly's trademark sound is innocent yet sensual, dynamic in range and full of character richness. Her album and live show will move and energize you.
Kelly's album is a mix of mainstream, new country with bluegrass and rock influences. She's drawn to complex musical productions that encompass the acoustic country sounds of the banjo, mandolin and dobro; a sound that her Nashville producer Ilya Toshinsky (former Bering Strait member) brought to life in her 2007 album release titled “Chasing Butterflies” with cuts from hit songwriters including Billy Montana, Jamie O’Neal and Kris Bergnes.
Kelly's live show contains the best players Colorado has to offer. She’s opened for major recording artists including Sara Evans, Kenny Chesney, Lonestar, Mark Wills, Phil Vassar, Pat Green, Ty England, Aaron Tippin, Chad Brock, Charlie Daniels Band and Blake Shelton.
The show is free to attend and family friendly, so round up the crew, grab a pint, find a spot in the beer garden, and start your Friday the way nature intended: with good beer, good people, and live music.
Sasha stone

Sasha considers herself a diamond in the rough and encourages her listeners to persevere with resilience through life's turbulence as she shares vulnerable, image-rich lyrics that detail her personal triumphs over abuse, loss, and poverty. She reminds her fans, "My writing comes from a place of despair at times but in the end, the message is always the same. Just try to hold on. You are not alone. You have got this."

sweet virginia
Saturday, September 26 | 5-7 PM
Sweet Virginia lives in the space where harmony meets feeling; where a single voice can carry a story, and layered vocals can break your heart. Rooted in Americana with threads of indie folk and country, her sound is stripped-down but immersive, built on raw honesty and the quiet power of human connection. There’s a weight to her music that doesn’t come from production, but from presence; songs that feel lived-in, unguarded, and just a little haunting. Whether she’s singing alone or weaving harmonies around a melody, Sweet Virginia creates moments that linger long after the last note fades. Her recent work has found an audience through intimate, harmony-driven performances, drawing listeners in not with spectacle, but with sincerity. It’s not just about the song. It’s about the feeling you’re left with.
The show is free to attend and family friendly, so round up the crew, grab a pint, find a spot in the beer garden, and start your Friday the way nature intended: with good beer, good people, and live music.
