Music First
Mission Statement
Our goal is to better the lives of musicians and the venues they play in.
About Us
Music First, a nonprofit, was the brain child of one of our directors, after they realized the hardships musicians face. Working with local figures in the music scene to form what became Music First.
We offer our musicians assistance with education geared towards musicians, mental health, health insurance, sound equipment / production, recording, gigs / festivals, advocating for fair pay and more. Every musician is a member of Music First and has a say in how our nonprofit grows. They can submit ideas, vote ideas into action, as well as run for officer and director positions.
With venues we provide consulting and we offer them the assistance with booking talented, professional musicians for any style of event. We encourage the venue to pay musicians a living rate. We not only help with marketing and promotion, but can help with the running of larger events too. We work with different vendors in our community from food trucks to local creative vendors to help bring our events to the next level.

All donations go to helping our musicians better their lives through music lessons, health insurance, mental health, addiction help, gigs and events, sound / PA assistance and more.
We are working on bringing a music venue to Longmont. Any donations made bring us closer to opening our venue. If you are looking for a sponsorship or membership to our venue, we welcome all, but request that you email us at MusicFirstColorado@gmail.com
