I found your organization tonight via Google as I was searching for Denver-area musicians. I’m writing because I’m the Denver producer of This Is My Brave, a non-profit organization which has become the leading platform for people to share their stories of overcoming mental illness through poetry, original music and essay during a live theater-based show.
Our Denver show is scheduled for Thursday, May 19th at the Oriental Theater. We started in 2014 with one show funded successfully via a Kickstarter campaign, became a 501(c)3 non-profit, and in 2015 expanded nationally with shows in Boston, Harrisburg, Iowa City, New York City and Los Angeles. This May, during Mental Health Awareness Month, we have five shows scheduled in cities across the US.
I wanted to reach out to your department in case you might know of any singer/songwriters who have overcome a mental health condition and used music to heal.
Feel free to check out our past shows on YouTube.
We often have the toughest time finding musicians, and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks for your time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Take care,
Kat Atwell
