Book excerpt: In 1906, Denver's Pietro Satriano and his 25-piece brass band became the first musical act to perform at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, then christened the Garden of the Titans. Over a century later, Denver is a must-stop for every nationally touring act, and Red Rocks, set deep into the towering red rocks of Morrison, Colorado, is heralded as America's most important outdoor music venue. From the Grateful Dead to Willie Nelson, every star in the musical galaxy has aspired to play on this special and magical stage. Red Rocks: The Concert Years presents a comprehensive history of what came to be considered one of the Natural Wonders of the World, thanks to the combination of natural aesthetics and acoustics, as impressive to the eyes as to the ears. Colorado Music Hall of Fame director and author G. Brown presents over 200 interviews with an array of performers, from the late Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews to Bono and Paul McCartney, as well as the most detailed accounts to date of the legendary Beatles show in 1964, Bruce Springsteen's first outdoor concert ever in 1978, and U2's career-making 1983 video shoot. Richly illustrated, this well-crafted coffee-table book includes hundreds of images from leading photographers in the area, supplemented by historical photos from the libraries of the major daily newspapers, historical societies, and private collections. Foreword by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Carlos Santana. Proceeds from book sales benefit the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, a nonprofit organization that educates the public on everything that's great about the state's music.

Book excerpt: Access to storerooms and theater archives at the original Elitch Gardens started the author along a backward, winding path of Colorado's musical history. Scrapbooks kept by Mary Elitch gave tantalizing hints of the actual impact the woman had on Denver and Colorado, and the story became more and more interesting the further back the author went. Musicians working in saloons with gunshots ringing out through the performances. A rare orchestrion housed in one saloon. A drunken singer who would perform and then return to his mining shack. Central City calling in the militia to keep order in the opera house. And prostitutes in the front row. The stories associated with music in early Colorado are fascinating and entertaining. In this history, the author brings them to light in an easier to read, informative fashion. You will read about Mary Elitch and the foundation of the Denver Symphony. Find out about the conductor who came to Colorado to die only to live for many years. What role did Horace Tabor and his fortune play in creating theaters and what happened to those theaters? Why was opera such a big deal in the wild west or was it? Learn about the Silver Circuit and the performers who traveled it. This short history will give you insight into how the vibrant musical life of Colorado began.

Download or read book The WPA Guide to Colorado written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to Colorado, not surprisingly, emphasizes the natural beauty of the Highest State. With a landscape ranging from alpine mountains with lush forests to arid deserts with massive sand dunes and a history that includes a rich Native American presence as well as booming mining and agriculture industries, the WPA guide shows how Colorado has earned the moniker “the Colorful State.”
