On Friday, July 26th, Herman’s Hideaway will be holding a Celebration of Allan Roth’s life starting at 7:00 p.m. Allan was a mainstay on the Denver Music Scene and will be so missed by many besides his family. The event will feature The Railbenders, Carolyn’s Mother, IRIE STILL, and Mike River. Celebrate and honor Allan’s life with us! For more info, check the Events Calendar below. Show a photo of the “mural” (on your phone) at the door for ½ price entry!

COMBO is about the “Business” of Music. Our mission is to disseminate information that musicians need to know in order to advance their own careers! Our articles represent some phase of music business that could effect musicians everywhere.

PLEASE! Don’t kill yourself. Call a friend, wait until after midnight, get a lot of sleep, or call 1-800-273-TALK. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You have a purpose in life – you will find it but you need time. Trust us – You’ll be glad you stayed alive at some point in the near future. Walk outside and look at the stars and think how much you will miss them. (And NO – you won’t be one of the stars…)
