Join Kyle for a backstage tour of the historic Orpheum Theatre, where she uncovers wild tales from its storied past—like the unforgettable night Umphrey’s McGee rocked so hard they blew out the lights. Just a block away, the legendary Hotel Monte Vista becomes her home base (and yes, they offer discounted long-term rates).
During her stay in the Michael Stipe and Bing Crosby rooms, Kyle connects with Lindsay, a local artist and front desk clerk, who spills captivating stories about visiting music legends and spine-tingling ghost encounters—especially from the infamous Meat Man room.
When it’s time to hit the road, Kyle leaves with a deeper sonic kinship to this mystical town—and chances are, after listening and maybe even visiting Flagstaff yourself, you might feel the same.
