Good Terms - Highway to Hell Yeah Brother Tour
Presented by The Black Sheep at The Black Sheep Colorado Springs, CO
Good Terms released Burnout less than a year ago—a record that dismantled any preconceptions of who they are and what they sound like. The band dove headfirst into every unorthodox influence imaginable, putting every musical option back on the table. Burnout is anxious, hopeful, confused, angsty, joyous, loving, regretful, pissed, wistful, sincere, and cathartic. It juxtaposes moments that feel like the sonic recreation of the “dread meme” with others that feel like the triumphant ending of The Land Before Time. The album will have you clearing your sinuses from extreme levels of stank face, dusting off your old air guitar, wanting to do spin kicks in your living room, reconnecting with your younger self, and wishing you’d taken an extra bite of your crazy aunt’s special brownie. It’s mosh-ready, 420-friendly, and hell-yeah-brother approved. Then on a spring day this May, magic happened. Progress exploded onto the scene, landing heavy radio spins on SiriusXM, editorial playlisting across all major streaming platforms and quickly amassing 1M+ streams globally in just 4 months. “Progress” immediately grew to number 1 across all platforms and became the new staple and lost leader for Good Terms. “Progress” explores the emotional challenge of perseverance when on the brink of burnout. The song was inspired in part by vocalist Brian McShea and fiancée Stephanie Raynor, who lost their home earlier this year in the California wildfires. Their story captured national attention, and the outpouring of love and support reminded the couple—and their extended Good Terms family—of the importance…

Film Club- Screening of 'Other Side'
Presented by Rocky Mountain Women's Film at Rocky Mountain Women's Film Colorado Springs, CO
Other Side Synopsis: After three separate cancer diagnoses, and undergoing nauseating and difficult treatment for each one, Connecticut-based activist Lynda Bluestein set her sights on medical aid in dying. This compassionate end-of-life option was not available in her home state, so she filed a lawsuit against the state of Vermont to gain access to their Death With Dignity law, Act 39 – and she won. A rich portrait of a fearless activist, matriarch, and fallible human, this feature documentary follows Lynda and her family over the course of a year as they navigate life and prepare for her inevitable death. But will her life end the way she intends it to? After the film, stay for a Q&A with Dr. Bob Munson from the USAFA, who is an expert on this topic.

Pure Prairie League & Pablo Cruise
Presented by Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers Colorado Springs, CO
Best known for their multi-platinum album Bustin’ Out and the classic hit “Amie,” the band helped shape the genre with their early releases and enduring sound. Now in their sixth decade, PPL continues to tour and record, influencing generations of artists while honoring their roots with new music, including their latest album, Back On Track. Formed in 1975, Pablo Cruise quickly became synonymous with feel-good, groove-driven rock. Scoring Top 10 hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye?” and “Love Will Find A Way,” the band sold millions of records and toured extensively across the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Along the way, they made history as the first rock band to headline a casino showroom and perform at the Grand Ole Opry. After a nearly 20-year hiatus, Pablo Cruise reunited in 2005 and continues to tour across North America. With original songwriters David Jenkins and Cory Lerios still leading the way, the band delivers high-energy performances celebrating their timeless catalog—proof that it’s still good to be live.
