The show kicked off with a set from local musician Matt Wheeler who was accompanied by violinist, Caleb Brown. I have seen Matt play a few times now and every time I’m amazed by the emotion Matt is able to convey through his performance. When you watch Matt Wheeler play his music, it feels as though you are having a conversation with him and really getting a glimpse into his life." Thank you, David!

INSTANTLY (!) my mind went straight to The Light & The Sea and needless to say, after sharing your song with my housemate, you now have a new fan in Colorado." Thank you for sharing, Janel!
