<p>The socially-distanced, mask-required event was held to raise money for the Senior Meals program, which helps seniors, most of whom are homeless, with meals and basic essentials like socks and underwear.</p>
<p>We've been experiencing quite a lot of heat and wild fire smoke, so when Thursday turned out to be a cool, cloudy day, I didn't complain. And, in fact, a rainbow appeared a few minutes into the show! It was a glorious night.</p>
<p>I want to thank everyone who purchased tickets and attended. It was the highlight of my summer! And, thank you to the lovely folks who were unable to attend, but sent in contributions!</p>
<p>We raised just over $1,000. That money will go a LONG way to helping so many people who need the help.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I can't say enough wonderful things about this organization. As a Volunteer Musician, I've had the honor to play the Seacrest Studios in Children's Hospital in Denver - one of ten across the nation. It's an uplifting and rewarding experience.</p>

The vibe of the city mixed with the laid-back feel of the venue makes for a perfect setting to perform songs from all genres.</p>
<p>I like to experiment with writing songs in all kinds of genres. So when I perform, I think there's a song (or two) to please everyone. I've written pop, folk, rock, country, and even a gospel song! I recently dusted off some lyrics that have been tucked away in a drawer, and I'm revisiting some old themes, which are inspiring new ones!</p>
<p>Maybe you'll hear some new songs this summer under the glass dome!</p>Kelly Tripletttag:www.kellytriplett.com,2005:Post/47636352017-07-01T07:57:29-06:002017-07-01T07:57:29-06:00Greatest Hits & B-Sides<p>I usually perform a combination of covers and originals. So, when the Denver Performing Arts Complex asked me to perform ALL ORIGINALS for my July - September shows, I was thrilled! It's a rare treat for me that I hope to share with you - come on down!</p>
