From the Aspen Rocks stage to recording her first song. 🎶

Sofia Webster took 1st place in Youth Aspen Rocks—and earned the opportunity to step into Mad Dog Ranch + Studios to track her very first song.

A stage can be more than a stage. 🎶

It can be the place someone takes a chance, shares their music, finds their confidence and discovers what might come next.

That’s why we created Aspen Rocks.

And we’re just getting started. ❤️
