Local Author G. Brown will be signing copies of his
latest book, Colorado Rocks! A Half Century of Music in
Colorado at
Twist & Shout on Monday, July 26th at 6:00 P.M.!
Colorado Rocks! chronicles five decades of music and
musicians who have passed through the Rocky Mountain State--artists
like Elton John, John Denver and U2 as well as local artists such as
Firefall, The Astronauts, Zephyr, and Big Head Todd & the Monsters
who offer up various sketches and reminisce on what Colorado means
to them personally and musically.
Complete with rare performer photographs as well as vintage poster
prints and collectable ticket stubs and other paraphernalia pepperings,
Colorado Rocks! is an encyclopedic look of the evolution of
music in Colorado and what it has lent itself to the spirit of music.
