"In addition to raising money for COLORADO restaurant workers, we as COLORADO musicians wanted to raise money to not only support our local crew that we tour the world with, but also all the folks in the music business as a whole -- from the venue workers to fellow musicians. MusiCares once saved us when we were robbed in 2011 by helping us buy back our stolen instruments when we were an unknown band. So, anyone from a sound guy who needs dental work to a stagehand that needs a medical procedure -- this fund is for the people that make up the music business and need financial help. " said LUMINEERS’ WESLEY SCHULTZ.

The event will feature three stages: RED ROCKS STAGE for music, MILE HIGH STAGE for sports luminaries and DENVER FOOD & WINE STAGE for chefs.
