Join music lovers, advocates, families, and the community in the heart of the Rockies for a powerful, purpose-driven concert weekend: Good Music For a Good Mynd / Shakedown Throwdown. This new two-day festival combines live performances, community resources, and mental health advocacy, offering an unforgettable experience in Vail, Colorado.

🎸 What Is “Good Music For a Good Mynd / Shakedown Throwdown”?

The “Shakedown Throwdown” is a free, two-day concert series held October 11–12, 2025, in Vail Village, Colorado. Its mission is more than entertainment: it’s about raising awareness, connecting resources, and supporting mental health both locally and beyond.

Organizers Scott and Davy aim to create a space where music, community, and advocacy intersect. Throughout the weekend, festival goers will enjoy performances, educational booths, and opportunities to engage with mental health organizations. A significant share of proceeds supports nonprofits in the Vail Valley working in mental health services.

This is the first annual edition of the event, setting the foundation for a new Vail tradition.

🎤 Artists & Lineup Highlights

The lineup is deliberately diverse, with talent spanning genres and musical influences. Some of the acts confirmed include:

• New Orleans Suspects 
• Toubab Krewe 
• Taylor Scott Band 
• Scott Rednor Band 
• The Other Brothers 
• The Shakedown Family Band

Each band brings its own signature sound—rock, funk, fusion, and more. Expect high-energy sets, musical variety, and synergy with the festival’s mission.

The festival schedule includes:

• Oct 11 (Day One): 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm
• Oct 12 (Day Two): 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm

In addition to musical performances, booths and informational displays from local and global mental health organizations will run throughout the weekend. Attendees can learn about support networks, advocacy efforts, and local resources.
