We’re excited to support Rhythms on the Rio in South Fork, Colorado.
South Fork Music Association and
Greater South Fork Community Foundation PRESENTS:
DINK is a fun, first-class expo emphasizing the independent spirit, cultural relevance, imagination, and community of comics, graphic novels, zines, art, publishers, and fans. Our mission to promote and further the impact of their work on the world. Internationally renowned creators as well as local Denver artists will appear.
“Helmed by the same duo that launched Denver Comic Con a few years ago — Charlie La Greca and Frank Romero — along with other Denver geek luminaries such as Jeff La Greca (brother of Charlie and nerd rocker extraordinaire), Nerd Nite Denver impresario Sara Wilson and local author and journalist Jason Heller, DINK promises to bring a fresh approach to the Denver con scene.”
– Cory Casciato, Denver Westword
DINK will give back to the community by working with nonprofit organizations like Denver Drink & Draw and Love Hope Strength Foundation and will also involve an annual program which provides a weeklong, outdoor mountain camp with a focus on comics, literacy, and art for underserved, inner-city youth.
“Giving back has always been an intrinsic part of the events that I’ve created. Coming from a large, working-class family, I was so fortunate to discover the wider world out there through comics, and as a result I have always wanted to embrace and discover a way to unlock that potential for others.” – Charlie LaGreca
Additional plans, programming, guests, and more will be announced in the coming months.
Spread the Word Music Festival is an annual extravaganza highlighting Colorado’s thriving music scene & rising artists. Music lovers of all types will appreciate the variance throughout the festival with styles ranging from rock, jam, funk, reggae, hip-hop, folk/grass, electronic and every kind of fusion in between.

GREENSKY BLUEGRASS WINTER TOUR!
For more than a decade and a half, the members of Greensky Bluegrass have created their own version of bluegrass music, mixing the acoustic stomp of a stringband with the rule-breaking spirit of rock & roll. They redefine that sound once again with their sixth album, Shouted, Written Down & Quoted.
Like the band’s own name, Shouted, Written Down & Quoted is a collection of opposites, full of dark psychedelic swirls, bright bursts of acoustic guitar, soundscapes, solos, freethinking improvisation, and plenty of sharp, focused songwriting. It’s wild and wide-ranging, showing off the diversity Greensky Bluegrass brings to every live show. At the same time, Shouted, Written Down & Quoted is unmistakably a studio album, recorded during two different sessions — one at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, North Carolina; the other at the Mountain House Recording Studio in Nedarland, Colorado — that comprise the band’s longest block of recording time ever. The result is an 11-track album whose songs cast a wide net, mixing the full-throttle energy of a Greensky Bluegrass concert with the nuanced approach of a band that’s still eager to explore.
