Mullins-a graduate of Lincoln High (Denver Public Schools) will host an interactive music marketing workshop at 3:30 pm followed by a concert at 7 pm. "Im very excited to share my keys to success for musicians which I've learned over 40 years in the music business" said Rob today from his recording studio. "In 2024, I did 11 concerts and sold out every show. I'll be explaining how I did it with practical examples and stories-and taking questions for 90 minutes.

Mullins left Colorado to study music in New York City in 1980 and was advised by his teacher to leave college at UNC Greeley and begin recording his songs. He has now done 42 albums under his own name (mostly in jazz) and became a Grammy Nominated artist for his "Soulscape" album which went Top 10 on the Billboard charts.

"The MUSE is a great space where I did a show last summer with Colorado local artists and I really fell in love with the place. Pete Lewis and Claire Church are fantastic supporters of live music and are a bright spot in the arts community" Rob added. "They have a great grand piano and are all about the music. I just heard the the City of Lafayette gave them a grant for the Monday night jam session which is fantastic! I'm a big supporter of Muse Performance Space" Rob added. Following the workshop, the Rob Mullins Neu Quartet will take the stage to present selections from Rob's vast discography of compositions. He will be joined by Taylor Clay-tenor sax, BK Kahn-drums, and Seth Lewis-bass. Currently Rob is on tour promoting his latest album "Best of the Trio" which is a collection of his works with great musicians that can be heard in Colorado on KUVO radio. "I'm lucky to have grown with KUVO over the years and even as I've been mostly on tour with flautist Hubert Laws these past years, I'm always happy to come to Colorado to check out KUVO, Dazzle, all the amazing expansion of jazz and live music that Colorado has become" he said. "My shows have become mini high school class reunions for the DPS and it is always great to see the kids and grandkids of my classmates at my shows....I love it!"

    Kiki Valera-Cuban Virtuoso-talks about his new album and touring with his band. Rob's guest today.

    Stream Kiki's new album here: https://www.kikivalera.com “Son Cubano, much like American jazz, has been in a constant state of evolution from its beginnings. Valera continues in that spirit, shedding new and modern light on the music.”  — All About Jazz VACILÓN SANTIAGUERO is Kiki Valera’s second US solo release after many distinguished years as director of La Familia Valera Miranda in Santiago de Cuba. It reaches beyond his core performing group to present collaborations with some GRAMMY® award winning musicians and to feature his favorite trumpeters, some Cuban-born, others US-born, but all with justified reputations for playing Cuban music out of love if not from DNA.

    Daryl Gott Saxman Extraordinaire Special End of the Year Holiday Interview

    If you haven't heard of Daryl Gott, you'll be hearing from him soon. His new album released Oct 2023 is doing well with his unique combination of mellow tone alto sax combined with New York style harmonies. Daryl's album APERTURE prompted Arturo Gomez of KUVO Radio to say "Daryl Gott was one of KUVO Jazz's 'Thirty Under Thirty' musicians we chose in 2015, our 30th Anniversary year as a musician who would succeed, he has not disappointed us! His debut as a leader, "Aperture" ranks as one of the most played albums in the Fall of 2023, a well-deserved honor!" I hope you enjoy this candid conversation with this rising star based in the Denver area. For all things Daryl and to purchase his music, please visit his website at https://darylgottmusic.com AND you can follow him on Instagram @DarylGott for live show info, photos, and other cool stuff.
