Photo: Hugh Phillips | One of the few music magazines left in print form, Music Connection, will be sending us copies of their latest issue(s) for your enlightenment! We’ll be passing these out at our live events – the next one (after our Songwriters Showcase) will be our holiday dinner at the Olive Garden. Of course, if you’d rather, you can subscribe to Music Connection on-line: https://www.musicconnection.com We want to thank J. Michael Dolan, founder of MC, Eric B., the current owner/publisher, and Hillorie McLarty, distribution, for helping us to get this very important magazine into the hands of our members!

Only a little over one more week until the COMBO Songwriters’ Showcase at Odde’s! Come support your local songwriters especially since they are members of COMBO and have written “prize winning” songs for our contests. Remember: Odde’s is a restaurant, too, so you can get dinner, bring the under 21s, and support your fellow musicians!

COMBO is about the LOVE of Music and the musicians who create and play songs. We have a board of dedicated and knowledgeable musicians and supporters who play or produce music and music acts. We offer an exchange of information, guidance and advice to help musicians advance their careers no matter what field you’re in. Our articles and programs represent some phase of the music business that could affect musicians – all musicians – everywhere. Our motto in Colorado: Elevate Your Musical State!
