DENVER — It’s not every day people receive an invite to meet John Wick. But for the Denver-based rock band The Trujillo Company, the invitation confirmed they are exactly where they’re meant to be. Actor Keanu Reeves recently hand-picked the band to open for his own band, Dogstar. “We bought him cupcakes,” said Mike Trujillo, lead guitarist and singer for the band. The Trujillo Company performed in August of 2023 with Dogstar at the Marquis Theatre in Denver.

EAGLE, Colo. — The tipi — built from wood poles and canvas, sitting open for anyone to enter and listen to a story, learn about tradition or hear wisdom from an Indigenous elder — greeted visitors to Eagle Town Park. For three days, Indigenous tribes from the north, south, east, and west assembled for the Indigenous Wisdom Gathering to revel in horse painting, traditional dancing, drumming, storytelling and an Indigenous-led hike through Bush Creek Open Space.
