Music First
Mission Statement
Our goal is to better the lives of musicians and the venues they play in.
About Us
Music First 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 / PA, recording, gigs, 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 offer them the assistance of 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.
Not only do work with fellow vendors in our community, but part of Music First’s goal is to better the lives of musicians by offering experiences from fellow musicians from across the country who have been performing in this industry for years. These artists come to Music First to share their journeys, share some of the knowledge they have gained and jam a little bit with those in our community.

We hope to see you at one of our events.

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
