Dear Friends .. spread the word through your networks .. I'm heading out on vaca for a few weeks but wanted to get this to you before I leave.

During the 18th Annual Dacono Music & Spirits Festival this year (I'm the concert director), I met a wonderful person from the Colorado State Senate. And you know me... get me talking about Colorado music and musicians and I get a little excited. She asked me to call her.

We connected, talked about Colorado music and brainstormed the idea of the Colorado State Senate passing a resolution honoring Colorado musicians.

WELL... turns out, it wasn't such a crazy idea after all.

I learned this week that Senator Janice Rich is interested in introducing a resolution recognizing Colorado Musician Day during the next legislative session, January through May 2027.

They're beginning work on it now, with the possibility of presenting it early in the session. The hope is ultimately to bring musicians from across Colorado to the State Capitol to be recognized by the Senate. WE NEED TO SELL IT OUT .. PACK THE HOUSE ..

How freaking cool is THAT?!

I'll share more as this develops.

Colorado music deserves to be celebrated. In 2027, that celebration could reach the State Capitol with a resolution recognizing Colorado Musician Day. ... see today's post for more.
