Live music in Mesa County, CO

This Día de los Muertos-inspired fundraising gala celebrates remembrance, education, and honor while recognizing whole-body donors whose contributions support forensic science research and education. The evening includes drinks, music, fun, heavy appetizers, and an opportunity to hear from FIRS students. The gala is part of CMUertos Week, with support from title sponsor Timberline Bank.

Celebrate tradition during CMUertos week with a combined concert featuring Metalachi, a heavy-metal mariachi band, and CMU’s Rowdy Brass Band.

Born from a raucous night of tequila and mariachi mayhem, Metalachi fuses the worlds of metal and mariachi into a high-energy show that has been putting smiles on faces for well over a decade. Their path has included performances at The Viper Room and Whiskey A Go-Go, festival spots at Heavy Montreal Festival and the Monsters of Rock Cruise, a feature on Netflix is a Joke with Burt Kreischer, and a nationally broadcast AT&T commercial. As the Houston Chronicle observed, this is far from a traditional mariachi band.

The Oxymorons bring a Halloween party to Warehouse25sixty-five Kitchen + Bar, featuring live music, dancing, and rock, country, and party anthems. Costumes are highly encouraged, with cold drinks and plenty of spooky Halloween fun.
