The stacked lineup includes musicians from across Colorado and features a selection some of the regions most beloved national acts that we would have seen perform this summer, all banding together to support the people behind Colorado’s vibrant music industry, including The Avett Brothers, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Brandi Carlile, Dave Matthews, The Lumineer, Michael Franti, Nathaniel Rateliff, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Sam Bush, The String Cheese Incident, and many more.
With the continued rise of COVID19 cases in Colorado, the music industry has been effectively put on pause, shutting down venues, touring operations, and other essential parts of a diverse music ecosystem. The resulting economic distress has reverberated through many corners of the industry, causing even us at (SALT) Mag to feel the earth shake. It is important now more than ever to support a scene that is vulnerable, and at risk of serious long-lasting damage through organizations CMRF.
CMRF is a collaborative effort across sectors, with steering committee members from 7S Management, The Bee Vradenburg Foundation, The Bohemian Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries, Colorado Music Hall of Fame, Colorado State University, Energize Colorado, KBCO, KSUT, The Marigold Project, RedLine, and more.
In the direct line of fire during this crisis stands the production crews and musicians who are just trying to make a living. Now it is our turn to care for them — donate here to help support Colorado’s music industry.
