CD Release Show! Saturday, May 18th
Our new record is complete and we have planned a wonderful CD release show at the Marlade at Smokebrush Gallery in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs. Tickets will be $12 in advance (online at smokebrush.org) or $15 at the door and each paid ticket will include a CD! Kids are welcome and those 12 and under get in free! Please note that the location has changed to the Smokebrush Gallery due to contruction delays at the Ivywild School.
Opening for Burn the Maps will be our good friend, the amazing singer-songwriter Chauncy Crandall. We will also be joined by some other surprise special guests! If there's one show of ours that you make it to this year, it should be this one! Make sure to tell your friends!
