CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

Fridays: June 5, July 10 and August 7, at 5:30pm
Clyfford Still Museum Forecourt
Free To The Public

Once again, the Clyfford Still Museum’s forecourt will be filled with music this summer. Swallow Hill Music is proud to partner with the Clyfford Still Museum for the fourth season, to bring a series of free outdoor concerts in the museum’s forecourt. Held on June 5, July 10 and August 7, this series features DragondeerNa’an Stop and Tallgrass.

Lawn concerts at the Clyfford Still Museum are sponsored in part by 5280 Magazine. Free concerts are presented 5:30-7:30 p.m., with free gallery admission 5-8 p.m. Guests are invited to pack a picnic. Beer and snacks are available for purchase.

“These concerts are an excellent compliment to the creativity on view in our galleries, and museum admission is also free during these shows,” says Dean Sobel, museum director. “In addition to being a groundbreaking visual artist, Clyfford Still was also a musician and had a deep interest in a variety of musical genres, so Denver’s vibrant music scene is a perfect match for the Clyfford Still Museum. This is such a fitting partnership.”

The Clyfford Still Museum houses approximately 3,200 works of art by the famed 20th century American artist Clyfford Still, whose revolutionary work was largely hidden from public view for six decades. It is the world’s most intact public collection of a major American artist.

Nate Todd

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
