There is something electric about experiencing jazz alongside a crowd of fellow music lovers. That collective spirit takes center stage as KUVO JAZZ presents the 21st annual Live at the Vineyards on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Balistreri Vineyards, featuring the Etienne Charles Creole Orchestra. This unforgettable evening invites attendees to support the station while celebrating the unifying power of live music.
“Live at the Vineyards is proof that great music and great community go hand in hand,” said Ayana Contreras, Vice President of Radio for Rocky Mountain Public Media. “When our listeners come together, they are living KUVO’s mission, ensuring we remain a home for connecting Colorado communities with music and culture.”
This celebration is a powerful reminder of how live music brings people together. KUVO JAZZ does this vital work daily through live broadcasts from its Bonfils Stanton Performance Studio and coverage of community events, but Live at the Vineyards offers something unique: the chance for listeners to experience that connection in person. The event embodies public radio’s role in building community, proving that shared musical celebration is just as essential as the music itself.
Guests will enjoy a gourmet feast as they stroll from booth to booth, sampling a wide variety of chef-inspired dishes. Pairing with the culinary spread are award-winning wines from Balistreri Vineyards, including four exclusive KUVO JAZZ Signature selections. For the evening’s main event, attendees will dance to the lush, soothing sounds of soul, funk, and jazz with the Etienne Charles Creole Orchestra.
