Colorado Music Hall of Fame
Colorado Music Hall of Fame (The Hall) is a nonprofit founded in 2011 with a mission to celebrate, promote and support Colorado’s music community. The Hall envisions a future where Colorado's music scene is as iconic as its mountains.
- Celebrating Colorado music by inducting our state’s music heroes, hosting events, sharing music history and Hall of Fame exhibits
- Promoting Colorado as a music destination
- Supporting local musicians and industry professionals with its Keep The Beat program providing resources and mini-grants for mental health and addiction counseling
Colorado Music Hall of Fame's exhibits have been displayed at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado, from 2011-2015; at Denver International Airport in 2017; and at the Trading Post of Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, from 2015 through the beginning of 2024. The exhibits will be re-opening in a new location in Denver, Colorado later in 2024. A collection of over 900 music memorabilia and artifacts comprise The Hall’s archives.
[1] Memorabilia includes the John Denver "Spirit" statue by sculptor Sue DiCicco donated by the Windstar Foundation,.[2] The 12 foot bronze statue is located outside of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre's Trading Post in Morrison, Colorado.
