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. Memorabilia includes the John Denver "Spirit" statue by sculptor Sue DiCicco donated by the Windstar Foundation,. The 12 foot bronze statue is located outside of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre's Trading Post in Morrison, Colorado.
