Inspired by Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt, singer/songwriter Burtt taught herself to play guitar and made her dream of a musical career a reality. Raised in the Rocky Mountains, she took piano lessons when she was young, but when she picked up her dad’s old classical guitar, “things took off.” She now splits her time between Brooklyn, Denver, and the road and is working on her third full-length solo record.
July 30 — Quemondo
Known as one of Colorado’s hottest salsa bands, Quemondo members hail from Colombia, México, Peru, Panama, and the United States. The 11-piece salsa band brings infectious live energy to each show.
