Today is the day to donate 🙏 and every little bit goes a long way. This year we helped a young girl get a playable guitar, we gave local bands a place to showcase their music at IBMA, we helped festivals, musicians, and introduced a whole lot of new folks to Bluegrass. Help us help others on this fine Tuesday. We’ll thank you in person next time we see you. ☺️

In honor of Colorado Gives Day, we’d like to thank you ahead of time for clicking that “donate now” link below 🙏 100% of all donated funds go back into the community. Sometimes it looks like setting up a young girl’s guitar so she can play it, sometimes it helps a festival get off the ground, sometimes it helps a band be seen at IBMA. We do what we can and every little bit helps us help others. ❤️🙏

Who do we or you know who wants to be a part of something big? We are looking for some partners to help feed all the incredibly amazing musicians who donate their time for the Jingle Jam, the annual event that raised $8,000 last year for Sister Carmen Community Center- (a non-profit angel of an organization). This is the good work y’all. If you know a local restaurant or entrepreneur who can feed these fine folks, we want to hear from you. 🙏 Send a message here or text Amy Martin with your beautiful, beautiful ways. Our musicians show up for others and we want to show up for them.

FREE webinar for all you hard-working musicians out there. December 4th- it’s impossible not to learn something. We like learning something 🎶🤓 especially when it involves our musicians being able to make a living.

Free upcoming webinar💻

Join us on December 4, 2025 from 12–1 PM ET for From the Table to the DSPs and Back Again: How To Make Money Without Selling Recordings.

With sales of physical product (CDs, LPs) at historically low (and stable) levels, artists have seen a dramatic shift in the way revenue is generated by their recordings. This workshop will explore how streaming has become a major source of recorded music revenue and how it differs from table sales; how to take advantage of the opportunities streaming platforms provide for building audiences and income; and how alternatives to physical product can offer increased merch-sale revenues.

This event is made possible by the Leadership Bluegrass Alumni Committee. We hope you’ll join us and help spread the word!

It’s the holiday season y’all! We are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Boulder County Jingle Jam hosted once again in support of Sister Carmen at Roots Music Project by KGNU and CBMS.

For those of you new to The Jingle Jam - this is a 100% charity show. All of the artists and venues involved donate their time so that every gross dollar made by ticket sales goes directly to helping underprivileged families in Boulder County.

Come be merry and fill your heart with cheer as you watch your favorite Colorado bands in the Americana scene perform in a specially arranged holiday-themed showcase. Expect some laughs, some cries, and some hugs out there as we wrap up 2025 celebrating our community and the greatness we can accomplish when we work together.

Get your tickets early! This event sells out every year.
