What happens when a bunch of music-minded people gather for schmoozing??? We, of course, discussed the “business” of music! Lots of good conversation and ideas for COMBO came out of the get-together last Monday night at Illegal Pete’s in Wheat Ridge. We’re going to try implementing some of the ideas soon! We’d also like to thank manager Kameron and crew for their hospitality and for the free drinks!
.
Christmas in July? COMBO sure would appreciate the “gifts” of [you] renewing to pay your dues! Since it’s the middle of the year, you’re probably not broke from buying gifts for your family so please consider helping us out. Go to https://www.coloradomusic.org and click on the “Join COMBO” button: $30 for individuals, $55 for a band, and $95 for a business. In return, we’ll “gift” you with help for your career in music in lots of ways!

John Nelson of the Front Range Songwriters group in Colorado Springs says that they take the summer off and are looking forward to getting going again on September 4th. Look for more info in August regarding their gathering!

COMBO is about the LOVE of Music and musicians. 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!
