Hotel California
Presented by Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts at Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts Colorado Springs, CO
When the Eagles stopped to catch their breath a few decades ago, having sold over 100 million records, collected six Grammy’s, and enjoyed six #1 albums, Hotel California began a pioneering journey through their history-making music that has taken them around the globe and thrilled hundreds of thousands of Eagles fans. It’s been a journey they could never have imagined back in 1986, but their dedication, unique musical gifts, and an obsessive commitment to doing this legendary music true justice in performance, set them apart from the many Eagles bands that came after them. Hotel California toured relentlessly from the 80’s straight through to today, setting the standard for world-class tribute productions as they went, and sharing stages with the likes of The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more. From Japan to Dubai, Toronto to Texas, Hotel California has boldly taken the tribute band where none had gone before them, and changed an industry’s collective mind about how good a “tribute” band could really be. Today Hotel California continues to tour internationally, and their stage show has evolved into one of the most impressive and popular productions on the North American soft-seat and festival circuits. Featuring original members within their strongest lineup to date, the band is enjoying what they do today more than ever - and it sure sounds like it! It won’t take you long to hear why legions of Eagles fans come back to see them time after time, and the top venues & festivals have them…

'Signs of Spring'
Presented by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio at Laura Reilly Studio Colorado Springs, CO
Warm or wintery, the signs of spring brings out the dramatic. Birdsong sounds louder as the sun rises. Tiny bulbs begin to peek out from a sprinkle of green in odd places. Indian Paintbrush is ready to bloom on high mountain hillsides. Trails start drying out enough to haul a plein air painting setup out without getting stuck in mud. Garden of the Gods feels fresh and revitalized. Winds and storms race around leaving the scent of budding leaves and dust in their wake. The mountain peaks are the last to shake off their snow, white melting away to reveal rocks and boulders amid twisted bushes and trees. Stop by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio from March 1st through the end of the month and enjoy boldly painted canvases that celebrate spring in the Rockies.

'Sacred Roots: The Art of the Living Earth'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
From the Artist: In Sacred Roots, the symbiotic relationship between ancient heritage and the natural environment takes center stage. Drawing from centuries-old Indian art forms, this solo exhibition celebrates nature not as a backdrop, but as a primary protagonist. From the regal display of stylized peacocks to the fluid movements of aquatic life, each work serves as a testament to the belief that every living being carries an essential story. By bringing these earth-based traditions to a modern audience, the collection highlights a global yearning for harmony with our surroundings. The exhibition is a rhythmic dance of pattern and pigment, offering a meditative space where viewers can reconnect with the "Tree of Life" and the vibrant spirits of the animal kingdom. Through intricate linework and intentional geometry, these pieces translate the pulse of the natural world into a sophisticated, contemporary visual language.
