Whether presenting established stars or up-and-comers, Swallow Hill Music is proud of our longstanding tradition of supporting Colorado artists.
As we move into our 41st year, we keep that tradition going with winter concerts that promise to keep our theaters filled with music, creativity, and community.
On Saturday, December 7 we are excited to present Wolf Van Elfmand in Tuft Theatre with a special album release concert geared for kids of all ages. Wolf, who teaches Little Swallows early childhood education classes as part of our Community Outreach Programs, is bringing the full band to perform songs off his new album Music for Minors (Ages 3 to 300).
On January 25, Mollie O’Brien & Rich Moore play Daniels Hall with the incomparable Mary Flower. These three are not only longtime friends and collaborators, but longtime contributors and supporters of Swallow Hill Music as well. Whenever Mollie, Rich, or Mary plays Swallow Hill we view it as a homecoming of sorts, and we aim to make them feel comfortable!
Then, on March 28, Thunder and Rain takes the Daniels Hall stage to celebrate the release of their latest album, Passing in the Night. Founded in Golden, the quartet has built a large following along the Front Range and beyond in recent years with their heartfelt mix of old time, country, bluegrass, folk and jam band music to create a sound all their own.
Tickets for these concerts and more are on sale now. Complete details can be found below. Thank you for supporting live music in Denver with Swallow Hill!

December 12th will be the worldwide release of Music for Minors (Ages 3 to 300), Wolf Van Elfmand’s first record for folks big and small; a satirical, feel-good album for the whole family.

Wolf’s experiences working with children as well as inspiration from other folk-based kid’s records such as Not for Kids Only and Songs for Aging Children inspired him to write and produce Music for Minors. Wolf is bringing a full-band to Tuft Theatre for this one, so bring the whole family and let the good times roll!
