About Craft Music NOCO

We started Craft Music because we love finding great music and sharing these artists with our community. Northern Colorado has no shortage of venues bringing in touring artists — but we go after a different tier: artists who aren't playing 200-seat rooms yet, but absolutely should be. Catching them now, in a room that holds 50-75 people, is something special. Our connections run deep too — through our involvement with Folk Alliance International, we're plugged into a pipeline of great touring artists most people haven't discovered yet.

Every show we book, we pair that touring artist with a Northern Colorado artist as the opener — because part of what we're building here isn't just great nights of music, it's community. For touring acts and local artists alike, and for the people who keep showing up.

That's really the heart of it: showing up. We want this story told over and over again — someone's partner asks "who's playing tonight?" and the answer comes back, "does it matter?" That's the reputation we're after. Not because the artist doesn't matter — they matter enormously — but because if Craft Music NOCO curated it, you can trust it's going to be a great night.
