“ TACAW has been a core part of community development and career building for me in the Roaring Fork Valley. As an independent performing musician, it's such a gift to have an organization that is truly dedicated to the Artist. TACAW supported both my album fundraising and release shows by providing me with a financial guarantee which gave me the artistic freedom to craft a meaningful performance without the worry of financial risk. I have watched TACAW consistently provide platforms to a diverse range of both local and national acts, helping to curate a culture of breadth and depth in the Roaring Fork Valley. I feel deep gratitude for their efforts.” - Natalie Spears, local singer/songwriter
