Helping us to celebrate the FoCoMA Peer Awards ceremony we present The Velvet Daydream!
Hailing from Denver, Velvet Daydream is on a mission to resurrect the golden era of rock and roll. With their commitment to the "classic rock show," the band infuses the scene with the vibrant spirit of the ‘70s. Featuring Kaeden Keys and Ryder King on guitars and vocals, Jude Pfanstiel on bass and vocals, and Nick Schwartz on drums and vocals, Velvet Daydream boasts a lineup where every member shines as a lead. Their vintage aesthetics—complete with long hair, bell-bottoms, and boots—are more than just a nod to the past; they’re a statement of authenticity in a genre that’s been fading from the spotlight.

FoCoMA Peer Awards is an opportunity to celebrate the Northern Colorado music scene, award outstanding accomplishments, and discover new music as a community!

There will be light refreshments, and a cash bar. Dress up if you like, but casual is fine too.

This event is free to attend and open to our music community. Please note that venue capacity is limited, and on a first come, first serve basis. Please arrive early and RSVP at the link - https://www.punchbowl.com/parties/FoCoMAPeerAwards
