JFS Family Concert: Rocking Colorado for 150 years
JFS’s 150th anniversary year is off to an exciting start! From gathering at our History Colorado Kick-off celebration in March to laughing with Amy Schumer at our Executive Luncheon in April, we continue to be humbled to see how much JFS means to so many throughout our community. And we’re already gearing up for our next extraordinary celebration!
On Sunday, August 28, 2022, we’re hosting our inaugural family-friendly event—JFS Family Concert: Rocking Colorado for 150 Years at Mission Ballroom.
This concert will feature a special solo acoustic performance by Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff. Whether you recognize Rateliff by his soft-brimmed, tilted hat, sly grin amidst a thick beard, or exquisite lyrics, you will no doubt find that his music touches listeners deep in their souls. Rateliff has released three solo albums, with the latest, “And It’s Still Alright,” debuting in 2020 to critical acclaim. The record peaked at #3 on iTunes’ Top Albums chart, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk chart, landed at #2 on their Current Rock chart and resided at #1 on the Americana Radio Albums Chart for eight consecutive weeks.
Guests of all ages will enjoy specialty food and drinks while strolling through Mission Ballroom and learning about JFS’s programs and services. There will also be games and activities for our younger visitors! This event is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for everyone!
“We’re so excited for the JFS Family Concert: Rocking Colorado for 150 Years,” said JFS Chief Advancement Officer Jessica Zeidman. “Since I started at JFS, I wanted to put the “F” (and that would be “family”) into our events. The Family Concert is a fantastic opportunity for multigenerational JFS supporters to spend the afternoon together, learn more about the organization, hear the incomparable Nathaniel Rateliff, and experience it all at the amazing Mission Ballroom.”
