CP S14 EP25 2020

Monday June 29 2020 -there truly is nothing like the experience we get from attending a live music event.  It doesn’t matter how small or how large.

This past week we visited Dazzle Denver for some fantastic food and to see Cass Clayton Limited to 50 patrons, everyone including the band was required to wear facemasks except when seated at our table.Not only was Cass standing behind a Plexiglas panel, she also had to wear a mask to sing.  That was a bit overkill IMO.  There was easily twenty-five feet between the stage and the closest booths. That said, big ups to the staff at Dazzle for making it a special evening for the small crowd in attendance.

Please help Rocky Mountain Music Relief feed musicians.  Donations of $15 or more receive a #COmusic COVID mask as a thank you. Proceeds will benefit food needy musicians and their families. Please make sure to provide your address so we can mail your mask.

I am happy to support  FOCOMA (Fort Collins Musician Association)  Drive and Jive – a weekly series showcasing some of Northern Colorado’s popular acts.

I am also happy to support Swallow Hill Music during this time. Every night at 6pm Swallow Hill is streaming live shows of Colorado and national artists on their Facebook page!  Get tickets here.  This week’s schedule is:
