Colorado Music Hall of Fame

A nonprofit organization

Help us ensure that Colorado has a thriving music scene for generations to come by making a tax-deductible donation to Colorado Music Hall of Fame!  

After 10 years of celebrating Colorado’s music history, The Hall is expanding our programming to include supporting the mental well-being of Colorado musicians and industry professionals and promoting Colorado music today. The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the Colorado music community profoundly, when venues closed and tours were cancelled, essentially halting Colorado’s burgeoning music scene. With the rise of mental health and addiction issues across all populations, only exacerbated by the pandemic, the music industry was certainly not spared. To support a healthy music community, The Hall is developing a mental wellness program to de-stigmatize the conversation around mental health and addiction to raise awareness, share resources and provide mini-grants to Colorado musicians and industry professionals who are struggling. 

It is our belief that a healthy and supported music community today grows a vibrant music culture tomorrow.  

Your donation this holiday season will allow us to develop these important programs to promote and support Colorado’s music community.


Testimonials

YELP reviews:
"Nestled by Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Here you'll find some great Red Rocks Amphitheatre merchandise, as well as a large gathering of Colorado musicians' memorabilia. You can't think of Denver without thinking of folk singer John Denver. If you're a fan, you'll definitely want to stop by to see a whole room filled with awards, clothing, and other mementos of his career."

"Down the hill from Red Rocks Amphitheater, this little gem is a great place to hit afterward. Free, free, free! Entertaining & Fun! Great little gift shop and interesting array of music legends displayed. Don't miss this stop on your Denver area sightseeing tour!"
