“A COLORADO EVENING”

Featuring John Fielder and Chuck Pyle

Join the Palmer Lake Historical Society (PLHS) and the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts (TLCA) in a joint fundraiser featuring two of Colorado’s premier artists.  Celebrated photographer John Fielder and singer/songwriter Chuck Pyle will showcase the best of Colorado landscape and song.  Rarely do these talented artists appear together. However, both are joining in this fundraising effort to support the programs of the PLHS and TLCA.  This is a “one-of-a-kind” event that you won’t want to miss – a pure Colorado evening!!

John Fielder has published 38 books, many depicting the beauty and magnificence of the Colorado mountains, prairies, and wilderness.  John’s photographs were used to help pass the 1993 Colorado Wilderness Bill, which protects some of Colorado's last remaining wild places.  The subject of John’s program will be his new book - Ranches of Colorado - which has been getting a lot of media attention.  Chuck Pyle, the “Zen Cowboy,” has won high praise from both fans and peers throughout his performing career spanning 40 years.  Chuck has written songs covered by such artists as Jerry Jeff Walker, Tish Hinojosa, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Suzy Bogguss and Chris LeDoux.  Chuck has ten albums to his credit, including his newest CD, HIGHER GROUND - Songs of Colorado, that includes “Little Town Tour,” which names over 100 small Colorado towns; “Moonlight on the Colorado,” which was written by a WWI soldier yearning for his true love back in Colorado; and, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High,” which is the new Colorado state song.  John and Chuck will be available to sign their books and CDs.

PLHS preserves and promotes history through presentations and activities that bring alive the historical events that took place in the Tri-Lakes area or affected local or Colorado history.  TLCA is dedicated to creating community partnerships for demonstrating, teaching, exhibiting and promoting the arts and humanities, and is an advocate for artistic growth in the community.  Both are non-profit 501(c)3 organizations located in Palmer Lake, CO.  For more information visit www.trilakesarts.org  or www.ci.palmer-lake.co.us/plhs, or call 719-481-0475.
