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!

Charlie Stevens Band and Wes Urbaniak Team Up for a One-Night-Only Performance.
Two distinct voices in independent music—Charlie Stevens Band and Wes Urbaniak—are joining forces for a split bill performance at Swallow Hill Music on Thursday, November 6th.

Known for their heartfelt lyrics and genre-bending sounds, both acts bring something special to the stage. The Charlie Stevens Band blends Bluegrass with rootsy Americana, while Wes Urbaniak offers a more experimental, storytelling-driven style. Together, they promise a night of authentic music, good vibes, and community connection.

“This isn’t your average gig—it’s a celebration of artistry, collaboration, and the kind of live music that sticks with you,” says the band. “If you're into thoughtful lyrics, rich harmonies, and musicians who truly love what they do, this one’s for you.”

Swallow Hill Music, a long-standing hub for acoustic performance and musical discovery in Denver, is the perfect setting for an evening of stripped-down, soul-deep sound.

Tickets are available now at swallowhillmusic.org or at the venue’s box office.

Doors 6:30 PM - Show 7:00 PM
