When Aspen's longtime live music venue The Double Diamond closed its doors a few years ago, Aspenites were concerned their town would lose its reputation for a nightlife so good it rivaled the outdoors life. Enter Michael Goldberg. More than two years ago, Goldberg opened Belly Up Aspen, the Colorado outpost of his brother's live-music venue of the same name in Solana Beach, California. Since Goldberg reopened the club's doors with a new name and a major facelift--not to mention a world-class sound system and staff--Aspen's nightlife has never been hotter or sounded better. Today, Belly Up boasts music almost every night of the week, including everyone from up-and-coming, soon-to-be-huge acts to A-list musicians and bands and even lectures on occasion. Thanks to Goldberg, today, Aspen's biggest concern is how to get any sleep with so much incredible music happening all the time.
