If you’ve ever been to a musical performance and gotten goose bumps from a voice or guitar or drum, or have been so moved by a song or album you’ve played it again and again and again, you have music teachers to thank. And here in Durango, we have a program that is providing some pretty cool music-education opportunities for both kids and adults. But running a program to help teach people to become musicians ain’t cheap.
And this is where you come in.
On Friday and Saturday night, there will be a local music showcase at the Balcony Backstage to benefit music education organization The Stillwater Foundation. You’ll see all kinds of genres represented: from the rock/Latin/funk of the Groove Casters to Magi Nation’s reggae to the electrofusion-funk-jam of Sky Pilot.
Friday night’s lineup includes: DJ Mateo, Oblee, Magi Nation, Sky Pilot and DJ Mateo. On Saturday, you can catch DJ Mateo, Jade Robbins Project, Groove Casters and the Durango Funk Allstars (Stillwater faculty).
Both nights will run from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Advance tickets are available at Katzin Music and Southwest Sound – $10 gets you a weekend pass.
