Helmut Fricker Band Saturday 1pm & 4pm - Sunday 1:30pm

Helmut Fricker has been a fixture on the Vail Valley music scene since he came to Vail in 1972. A jovial, warm man with lines of an outdoorsman in his face and a mischievous twinkle in his eye — and one of the most celebrated members of the community. He has been bound by the constant rhythm of his work — making books and making music. A rhythm he has danced to his entire life. He is a gifted master at both. ~ The Vail Daily
