The CARS All Stars present Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon
We're bringing the entire album to life with a full performance of this timeless classic that explores themes of conflict, greed, time, death and mental illness.

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.
