Margo Price – Wild At Heart Tour With Leon Majcen (8:00 pm, Belly Up Aspen) Nearly a decade ago, Margo Price turned Nashville on its head with her breakthrough,
beloved debut solo album, Midwest Farmer’s Daughter. Released in the throes of bro-country and before pop stars were crossing over into the genre left and right, it showcased an artist completely unafraid to double down not only on herself, but what she’d always loved: classic country songs written from the intellect and the gut, hell-bent on truth-telling and both timeless and urgent all at once. Respected by her peers, praised by critics and beloved by her fans, Price created a lane where independent-minded, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream, and became an ardent fighter for her beliefs in a genre where the norm is to shut up and sing. A trailblazer and a champion for the craft, Price redefined what it meant to be a
modern country artist. Purchase tickets here!

Nicholas Ward: Dreams from the Margins (Monday – Friday, Red Brick Center for the Arts) Ward’s work explores the mythologized image of the American West—a vision shaped less by historical fact and more by cinematic fantasy, collective memory, and personal dreaming. Reanimating fragments of subconscious narrative into surreal compositions of scale and form, Ward evokes a world that feels both uncanny and familiar, inviting viewers to question what is remembered, imagined, or invented. His paintings probe the porous boundary between truth and fiction, particularly in the context of 18th and 19th century frontier narratives, when storytelling, emotion, and the fragility of memory blurred the line between history and myth. In this body of work, personal dreams fold into the larger mythic landscape of the West. By filtering these stories through the lens of his own dream life, he questions who gets to author history—and how easily it bends under the weight of imagination. The result is a series of paintings and sketches that blur not only the line between truth and fiction, but between private reverie and collective memory. The exhibition will be available until January 8, 2026; to learn more, click here.
