1STBANK Center, Colorado’s new state-of-the-art entertainment facility will celebrate its Grand Opening on March 5 and 6 with a two-night stand by Furthur featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir.

The venue is managed by Colorado entertainment leaders AEG Live Rocky Mountains and Kroenke Sports Enterprises in a joint venture called Peak Entertainment.

Scalable for audience capacities from 3500 to 6500, the Center fills a niche as the state’s premier mid-sized venue, and will change the way patrons currently think about a venue of this size.

Says Peak Entertainment’s Chuck Morris (who is also President and CEO / AEG LIVE Rocky Mountains), “We’ve taken great efforts in designing the 1STBANK Center to combine the very best parts of arena production capabilities with the décor and soul of the world’s great theatres. This is a completely unique design approach for a venue of this size – fans and talent alike are going to want to come here.”



1STBANK Center will host a variety of world-class concerts, as well as family programming, sports events and more. Acts already booked for 2010 include Muse, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Sesame Street Live, Jason Aldean, The Denver Roller Dolls, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and more. Visit 1STBANKCenter.com for the most up-to-date calendar of events.

No matter the occasion for visiting, 1STBANK Center’s first priority is the patron experience. Morris explains, “1STBANK Center promises to offer all of what we love most about music and entertainment: quality, creativity, community and fun.”

Toward that effort, Peak Entertainment has made numerous improvements to the facility – improvements that promise to mark 1STBANK Center as the newest addition to an already impressive list of landmark Colorado music venues, such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Paramount Theatre, and the Fox Theatre.

Gone are the white walls, bright lights, and soul-less signage of the typical modern arena. Patrons of the 1STBANK Center will enjoy rich colors, creative textures, and artful touches throughout the venue. At the center of the entertainment experience is a state-of-the-art video screen that hangs over the stage. Measuring 130 feet across, this versatile feature offers limitless ways to transform the venue’s main space.

Spaces throughout the concourse have also been transformed. The upper lounge, open to all guests, is now a premier viewing area with direct sight lines to the stage. Additionally, several previously enclosed bars have been remodeled to be inviting and welcoming gathering spots.

In 2011, 1STBANK Center is scheduled to become home to the highly anticipated Colorado Music Hall of Fame, a non-profit whose mission is to educate and to raise money for the Music School of the University of Colorado. Longtime Colorado rock critic G. Brown will curate the interactive multi-media museum. This permanent institution will honor artists who have created music in and about Colorado. Artists such as John Denver, Joe Walsh, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, Firefall, Dan Fogelberg, Poco, The Subdudes, The String Cheese Incident and The Fray are some acts to be honored. Plans are also in the works for historical locations such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Caribou Ranch to receive recognition. Celebrations of musical institutions such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Etown and KBCO Studio C - highlighting Colorado’s rich and vibrant musical story – will all receive space in the Hall.

Peak to Peak Music Festival

There is no better way to celebrate the country’s independence and the spirit of Colorado than a day of fun and festivities in the Colorado Rockies. For the first time ever, music, parade, food and fireworks will meet in a family environment at the Peak to Peak Music Festival in Nederland, CO, on the Fourth of July. With a long-standing musical heritage and Fourth of July festivities already in place, Nederland is the perfect mountain town for both young and old to celebrate the holiday.

peak to peakFireworks and a parade have long been traditions for the holiday in Nederland, but with a full music lineup and a pub crawl added, a new era has begun in the beautiful Peak to Peak region. To celebrate the region’s storied musical history and support such rich local talent, the festival has invited state favorites, including Motorhome, Elephant Revival, Smooth Money Gesture and Jon “BlackDog” Ridnell. Others not from Colorado include Zepparella, Chicago Afro-Beat Project, from Illinois, and Shannon Wurst, from Arkansas. Not limited to music, the work of local artists will be on display and local food and beverages served, making for a fully rounded and family-oriented event.

The festivities kick off at 11 a.m. when lineup for the parade begins at the Jeff Guercio Memorial Ballfield. Those familiar with the parades of past know to expect the unexpected, meaning the parade should be full of surprises and could make one lap, maybe more. By the time the free-to-the-public parade ends, it should be about time for the scheduled 12:30 p.m. opening of the festival gates, where Old Time Dave, the Master of Ceremonies, will call for the first strum of the guitar at 1 p.m.

Chicago Afrobeat Project kicks off the day with their own take on the Afrobeat genre, blending funk, rock,  jazz, afro-cuban, high life and juju music into a collage that is irresistible to dancing. Next on the bill is the all-female Zepparella, a California-based Led Zeppelin Tribute band making their Nederland debut and exemplifying beauty, passion, aggression and the musical prowess of the legendary band they salute. Headlining the daytime bill is Motorhome, hailing from Fort Collins and recently named by Colorado Music Buzz as one of the top bands to look out for in 2009.

As the sun falls on the horizon of the Peak to Peak region, fireworks will be prepped for launch into the crisp air above Baker Reservoir in Nederland, and music will begin in the streets. The music doesn’t stop there, with Nederland’s own Elephant Revival playing sets in between acts during the day, then taking their high-energy gypsy and mystic folk jams to Whistler’s Café that night. As the pub crawl continues on into the night, festival-goers can head a few blocks away to catch Smooth Money Gesture at First Street Pub and Grill, which was named by The Mountain-Ear as the “best place to get down.” The music will just keep going on into the night and more information on the schedule will be made available on the festival Web site.

Special thanks and support go out to the Nederland Area Chamber of Commerce, the Flash Friedman Foundation, sponsors of the Fireworks show.

The festival is made possible by the Wild Mountain Smokehouse, Whistler’s Café and many others.
