Ray Ciprian Quartet:

Musical Style: Jazz

Join saxophonist Ray Ciprian and his quartet for an unforgettable night celebrating the transcendent music of Pharoah Sanders. In his debut production, Ray pays homage to the legendary saxophonist whose spiritual energy and fearless improvisation have profoundly shaped his own musical journey.

A rising voice in Denver’s jazz scene, Ray has honed his sound through countless local jam sessions—learning, listening, and growing alongside the city’s vibrant community of musicians. Now, he brings that same raw, searching spirit to the stage, channeling Sanders’ free-flowing style through both classic jazz standards and open, soulful improvisation.

Experience a night of deep grooves, spiritual energy, and boundless creativity as the Ray Ciprian Quartet honors one of jazz’s most inspiring masters.

Alana Mars:

Musical Style: Singer/Songwriter, Alternative Pop

Alana Mars is a queer alternative pop musician based out of Denver, CO. With her holy trinity as guidance (Lana del Rey, Phoebe Bridgers and Stevie Nicks) Alana’s conversational lyric style feels like you are reading directly out of her diary (and in some cases you are) while her complimentary guitar playing helps to paint the picture and bring it all to life. Along with multiple national tours and numerous music festivals under her belt, Mars released her debut EP “The Prologue” in May 2024 which is available on all streaming platforms.
