PopUp Choir
Presented by Colorado Springs Youth Choir at The Meanwhile Block Colorado Springs, CO
What is a PopUp Choir? A PopUp Choir is a one-night event where people who love to sing (amateurs, professionals, karaoke masters) get together and sing! Everyone is welcome! (It is not a concert - we sing for the pleasure of singing - a joyful experience and connection are the goal - not perfection.) Every event is unique. The dynamics change depending on the singers, song choice, and facilitator. It simply is something you must experience to truly understand. Everyone is Welcome! Yes, everyone! Come as you are. Even if you don’t want to sing but just want to hang out and have a really cool experience, we would love to have you there. Reserve your sport today and get to know some incredible Springs’ residents. Before the Event! Once you register for the PopUp choir you will receive an email with your practice track and access to your sheet music. For the month of December we will be singing, "O Magnum Mysterium", Victoria. Evening of the Event On the evening of the event signers will arrive at the Meanwhile Block. Once we have settled in we will warm up, spend some time getting to know each other, and practice in sections (based on voice part.) The evening will conclude with everyone signing together as a choir. Don’t forget to bring your sheet music, a water bottle, and a pencil with you. Where do the proceeds from the event go? The proceeds of event will benefit the Colorado Springs Youth…

Trace Bundy's Acoustic Holiday Show, with Special Guest Andy McKee
Presented by Stargazers Theatre & Event Center at Stargazers Theatre & Event Center Colorado Springs, CO
TRACE BUNDY: Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy returns to Stargazers to share his 18th annual “Acoustic Holiday” with us this year. His musical artistry must be seen to be believed, using harmonics, looping, and multiple capos to confound even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Trace’s witty banter and stage presence delivers an unforgettable live concert experience. Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting — from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 165,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 45 million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player Magazine blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.” Audiocast Magazine from Austin, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.” ANDY MCKEE: Hailing from Kansas, Andy McKee is a world renowned guitarist best known for…
