Acoustic Events
Our Overall Mission
Helping connect Colorado musicians who play for the love of the music with appreciative audiences and each other. Paul, George & Jody are based in Paonia and Cedaredge on the western slope, while PaPa Rod continues to hold down the Front Range Fort.
Between us, we can help provide talent, emcee's, sound reinforcement, marketing, event coordination or organize open mics and/or fun social jam sessions.
Website, like us, is currently a work in progress.
North Fork Valley Guitar Club
Paul formed our club after being inspired and encouraged in 2025 by the White Horse Guitar Club of Cork, Ireland. The NFVGC consists of twelve men, all musicians from the region who gather and perform Acoustic Americana music. Our mission is as follows: "Our purpose and intention of sharing our love and experience with folk and traditional music. Through our companionship camaraderie, we continue to enjoy in the spirit of sharing, learning, cooperation and fun, sharing songs that our listeners can join in."
