THE SPACE
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, SkyFire at Bishop’s Lodge offers an ethereal dining experience unlike any other. Known for its warm, grounded atmosphere that places the natural beauty of its surroundings in the spotlight, SkyFire’s ambiance is enhanced by a selection of songs that have been carefully curated to enhance the already spiritual ambiance of the mountain-backed border town.
THE SOUND
At SkyFire, we blend soft indie-rock (English & Español) with complimentary acoustic tracks to highlight the spiritual, border-town vibe. The afternoon tracklist focuses on ever-so-subtle percussion, adding gentle movement to the space. In the evening, we turn down the vocals and turn up the lush, atmospheric sounds that really lean into the ambiance of the town. We pay close attention to the percussion and energy of each track at SkyFire in order to preserve its ultra-serene atmosphere.
