The 7th Annual Music Matters | 2025

The month of March is a time when the community can come together and collectively agree that “music matters”

(this campaign is the whole month of March!)

Every $1 makes a difference as you spend at local venues, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops! These community-oriented businesses have come together to make a difference for the next generation of young creatives during the entire month of March! 

Youth on Record is a Denver-based nonprofit that offers free music education programming and paid internship/fellowship opportunities for young creatives ages 11-24 at our youth recording studio in Denver! Learn more about us!

Sponsors

Love, Tito's is matching funds raised at all participating locations that feature a special campaign cocktail, up to $5,000!
