INNOVATIVE SOUNDS

Our meetings are often filled with discussions of bands outside the progressive rock genre, sometimes from the most unexpected places and tastes. That's the message of this year's holiday playlist: an eclectic mix that reflects the Colorado Art Rock Society's love for all kinds of music.

After all, good music is good music, no matter the genre.
