BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Steve Miller Band, Nathaniel Rateliff, Old Crow Medicine Show and other big-name performers all stepped up earlier this week to help those whose lives were forever altered by a recent local tragedy.
Digital admittance to the virtual concert, held on Feb. 28, cost online viewers only $10. It was announced ahead of time by organizers of the event that all of the money raised was to be given to the victims of the Marshall Fire, which claimed nearly 1,000 structures around the turn of the New Year.
Gov. Jared Polis posted to Twitter on Wednesday to share his gratitude for Anschutz Entertainment Group, all of the performers who donated their art, and the sponsors who got involved before revealing that three-quarters of a million dollars were raised for victims across Superior, Louisville and unincorporated Boulder County.
