So much to do this weekend! First and foremost, COMBO’s Songwriters Showcase at Odde’s on Saturday evening (6:00 to 8:00 p.m.) Secondly, Denver’s School of Rock Vocal Master Class at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. Then concerts on Sunday by the Denver Concert Band and Rocky Mountain Brassworks – details below. And to top those off, the fund-raiser for the winners of the Road to Memphis for the International Blues Competition from the Colorado Blues Society! Check them all out! (P.S. Good to see the news show Rocky Mountain Brassworks at their salute to Veterans!)
It’s that time of the year! Please renew your membership if you haven’t done so recently!! We would so appreciate it.
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
