Joe Sciallo & The Deep End
Presented by Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort at Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort Colorado Springs, CO
Joe Sciallo & The Deep End bring the blues, whether it’s torching a vintage West Coast jump, or grooving on a jazz boogaloo, or nailing an uptempo modern shuffle. Sciallo brings an authentic touch to the world of instrumental blues and “bluesy” jazz tunes while also breaking out his own original compositions. Think Pee Wee Crayton meets Lou Donaldson, or Hollywood Fats interpreting James Brown…and you’re on the way to getting the Deep End vibe. Holding it all down is drummer Stefan Flores and bassist John Flores, locking in a backbeat that keeps the whole thing cruising down the road at 100 miles per hour. Join us as we feature Denver blues harmonica sensation, Nic Clark, for a night of music to remember.

Opera Bus Pre-Event: 'What’s All the Singing About?'
Presented by KCME 88.7 FM at KCME Studio Colorado Springs, CO
Once infamously described as "an exotic and irrational entertainment," what we know as opera was originally conceived as a union of several arts: poetry, music, acting, stagecraft, and dance. Four hundred years later, is opera still relevant? Why does it persist? As Robert Benchley once remarked, "Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings." So let's explore what the singing is about and what it's been like throughout the history of this unique art form.

Opera On Screen – Santa Fe Opera’s La Bohème
Presented by Green Box at Sallie Bush Community Building Green Mountain Falls, CO
Recorded live at the Santa Fe Opera during the 2025 season, Opera on Screen offers audiences a fresh way to engage with La Boheme, the timeless tale of love and friendship set to some of opera’s best-loved music. Composed by Giacomo Puccini, La Bohème is set in the vibrant playground of 1920s Paris, where six Bohemians come together in pursuit of connection, meaning and artistic greatness. In advance of our first screening of Santa Fe Opera’s La Bohème, we invite you to gather your picnic baskets and join friends on the lawn. Bring your own blanket, camp chairs, and/or foldable tables (or arrive early to stake out a spot at one of our picnic tables). Parking spots adjacent to Pool Park will also be available if you are a tailgate purist, and want to enjoy the festivities out of the trunk of your vehicle. Consider bringing a fun culinary experience and celebratory beverages. Feel free to dress for the occasion, especially if you plan on attending the opera screening at 7 pm – from bolos to ballgowns, all forms of creative expression are welcome! Don’t want to bring your own food and drink? No problem, specially designed picnic boxes will be available for sale at Cantina Verde!
