Denver Botanic Gardens will host bluegrass favorites Yonder Mountain String Band and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge as part of its 2025 summer concert series — among other names confirmed this week.

The full concert slate, which the nonprofit shared on Tuesday, March 4, includes a membership pre-sale from April 23-25 (with dates depending upon the membership level) and public ticket sales starting April 28.

The shows join previously confirmed dates from Mary Chapin Carpenter, with support from Brandy Clark, and The California Honeydrops. (See the current lineup below.)

The Gardens’ lower-key Evenings al Fresco series, which places performers throughout the York Street location, will be announced later this spring, and ticket sales will start in mid-May.

The summer shows, produced with folk nonprofit Swallow Hill Music, take place each year from June through August at 1007 York St. Visit for more.
