311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska, by five friends: Nick Hexum (vocals/guitar), Tim Mahoney (guitar), SA Martinez (vocals/DJ), Chad Sexton (drums), and P-Nut (bass). 33 years later, they’re still rocking together. Widely regarded as one of the most entertaining & dynamic live bands in the U.S., 311 mixes rock, rap, reggae, and funk into their own unique, hybrid sound. As veterans of 2,000 shows across 27 countries, 311 is one of the longest-running original lineups in rock, alongside legends like U2 and Radiohead.
311 have released thirteen studio albums, two greatest hits albums, two live albums, three DVDs, and a boxed set, and have sold over 9 million copies in the U.S. Ten albums reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 Sales Chart – and nine of their singles have reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Alternative Radio Chart (including three #1 singles: Down, Love Song & Don’t Tread On Me – along with Amber, All Mixed Up, Come Original, Creatures For Awhile, Hey You and Sunset in July).
Palisades Tahoe Cup
Palisades Tahoe is no stranger to international competition. A renowned ski racing venue that has bred champions since the 1960 Winter Olympics, the resort’s legendary steeps will once again welcome back World Cup racers this winter. One of only four U.S. resorts featured on the World Cup circuit this season, Palisades Tahoe will host men’s slalom and giant slalom events on Dog Leg and Red Dog Face. The course, raced in 2017 for the women’s alpine event, is one that Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin has described as “one of, if not the toughest” course venues on the women’s World Cup circuit.
Check out the course and the action from the Base Area, cheer on the world’s best athletes, and enjoy the free concerts Friday with the Black Jacket Symphony and Saturday with Noah Kahan and 311, and fireworks at the KT Base Bar February 24-26, 2023.
