THE DROP 104.7 and JMF Corporation are collaborating once again for the 15th Annual Juneteenth Music Festival. This year, the main stage will feature two-time Grammy-nominated R&B artist SiR! Attached are a press release and a few promotional images. We appreciate your help in spreading the word.

THE DROP 104.7 is proud to return as co-presenter of the 15th annual Juneteenth Music Festival. This year’s main stage belongs to two-time Grammy-nominated R&B sensation SiR.

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome SiR to the Mile High City,” said Ayana Contreras, Vice President of Radio for Rocky Mountain Public Media. “His music echoes THE DROP’s sound – modern, cool, soulful, and unique. He’s exactly the kind of artist who belongs at the heart of Denver’s Juneteenth celebration.”

Before stepping into the spotlight, SiR co wrote songs for legends like Ginuwine, Jill Scott, and Anderson .Paak. Since his 2015 debut, SiR has built a devoted following with his smooth vocals, laid back hip hop production, and subtle jazz flourishes, making him a modern R&B staple.

“SiR’s artistry reflects the culture, resilience, and joy that Juneteenth embodies,” said Norman Harris, Executive Director of JMF Corporation. “For 15 years, it’s been an honor to lead this celebration — one that reflects the culture and spirit of Five Points and beyond. We’re building a legacy that will last for generations to come.”

After stepping in during a critical moment last year, THE DROP 104.7 helped elevate the festival, transforming Welton Street into a powerful celebration of heritage and resilience. “I’m incredibly grateful for THE DROP’s continued commitment to uplifting our community,” said Harris. With renewed partnership and momentum, this year’s celebration will expand into a three day cultural experience. JMF Corporation will release additional details on the expanded schedule in the coming weeks.
