'Raw, Concrete'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
The Brutalist Movement of the 1950s-1980s got its name in part from the French phrase béton brut—”raw concrete”. It inspired artists and architects to create works that solved societal ills: income inequality, housing and food shortages, and political instability in the wake of two world wars. Their achievements still sing through the decades in the forms of public housing design, modular furniture, and bold, legible typefaces. Adornment was eschewed, but beauty was not...the woodgrain texture of plywood formwork is still visibly embedded in concrete surfaces, rust is allowed to express its nature, glass is not just a window but a portal uniting inside and outside, and paint is applied with no intention of illusion. February’s call invited artists to create works influenced by Brutalism, showing us pure materials, utility and economy, and a message—either literal or implied—that what the world needs now is authenticity, raw and concrete.

Paizley Park - A Tribute to Prince
Presented by Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers Colorado Springs, CO
Paizley Park is a no-compromise tribute to one of the best-selling artists of all time. Created by Phillip Lamar—whose vocals and stage presence closely mirror Prince—the band was built with obsessive attention to detail, from studying live performances to recreating every musical and visual nuance. Formed in January 2016, the band gained rapid momentum after Prince’s passing just four months later. Featuring top-tier musicians, multiple costume changes, precise choreography, and spot-on arrangements, Paizley Park faithfully recreates Prince and The Revolution at their peak. The result is a powerful, immersive experience that transports audiences straight back to the Purple One’s legendary live shows.

Blue Canyon Boys with Colorado College Bluegrass Ensemble
Presented by Black Rose Acoustic Society at Black Forest Community Center Colorado Springs, CO
The genre of Bluegrass has its generations, with Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers of the first generation blending it’s way into the second generation of JD Crowe, Seldom Scene, Del McCoury and many others. Similarly, Colorado has its Bluegrass generations prominently starting with Hot Rize and the Bluegrass Patriots, and leading into the Left Hand String Band from the 80’s and 90’s. In the early 2000’s the Blue Canyon Boys formed and over the past 20 years they have landed themselves solidly atop Colorado’s second generation in the bluegrass tier. The Blue Canyon Boys are equal parts purists and innovators when it comes to Bluegrass: they stay true to the form’s roots while constantly reimagining their relationship to tradition. Never settling for the same-old-same-old nor comfortable sitting back and going through the motions, the Blue Canyon Boys continuously quest for the song and the sound that drives their collective Bluegrass spirit. The result is a toe-tapping mix of haunting standards, genre-bending arrangements, and catchy original numbers—all built on the bedrock of their collective bluegrass mastery. Ever since founding members Jason Hicks and Gary Dark launched the Blue Canyon Boys in 2003, the Blue Canyon Boys have raised the bar for bluegrass bands. They bring it all: seamless brother-duet style, crisp instrumentation, unvarnished lyrics and subversive humor. After winning first place in the 2008 Telluride Bluegrass festival band contest, the Blue Canyon Boys went off at full tilt, taking the Bluegrass circuit by storm, performing in illustrious venues across the…
