BMI Country Icon Honoree Dean Dillon Hosts Mountain High Music Festival

/by

BMI’s 2013 Country Icon, Dean Dillon, recently hosted the inaugural Mountain High Music Festival at Elevation Hotel and Spa in Crested Butte, Colo. The five-day festival took place Jan. 14-18, and featured performances from Robert Earl Keen, Lee Brice, Sonia Leigh, Thompson Square, Due West, Brooke Eden, and more.

The event will donate more than $80,000 to charities including Tough Enough To Wear Pink, and Adaptive Sports Center.

“Wow! What a festival! We promised up close and personal and boy was it ever. Robert Earl was amazing. Heard a lot of comments of him putting on the best show he’s ever done and I tend to agree. We’ve been friends for years and I think he just went all out for us. A big thank you to all the sponsors and attendees. Chomping at the bit for next year. Blessings!” says Dillon.

GAC TV’s “Headline Country” host Storme Warren served as Master of Ceremonies.
