I am creating a vocalist scholarship to be announced on May 1 and awarded on July 31. It currently includes over $4000 of singer resources from Performance High, Tom Jackson Productions, Katey Laurel Larson, and Sonic Sense Pro Audio. It is anchored by a year of one-on-one voice lessons with me. If you have a vocalist resource you’d like to add, let me know and I’ll send you a sponsorship packet. It’s a great sponsorship opportunity. Non-local companies welcome – this is open to anyone in the world.

The Oriental Rides Again!
Jane Manly, an independent music promoter, presents the Oriental Opry the second Tuesday of every month. The mission is the promotion of astounding Colorado acoustic musicians. Each show features 5 musicians or groups for a 25 minute set. The show is run “Old Time Opry Style” — we sound check at 6:00 p.m. and run the show straight through. Often performers jump in and accompany others groups (with their permission of course!)
The Historic Oriental Theater (and Scott LaBarbara) and Jane are presenting the only local show of its kind in the Denver area. The continuation of the project depends on the support of our music community and attendance is growing steadily.
Where: The Historic Oriental Theater, 44th & Tennyson, Denver
When: The Second Tuesday of the Month – April 14th
Time: Starting at 7:00 p.m. and lasting until around 9:30 p.m.
Cost: For just $5 you get an incredible variety show!
Ages: 21+
The show’s master of ceremonies is Joe Kellogg. Joe is a singer/songwriter whose songs have a comedic flare (ask him to play “I’m a Love Fracker”!)
