An Evening with Peggy Malone

A Benefit for KAFM Community Radio

Join us for a special evening with acclaimed Colorado vocalist Peggy Malone as she takes a nostalgic journey back to her musical roots. While audiences know and love Peggy for her performances of western classics, cowboy songs, and country favorites, this unique concert will revisit her early days as a lounge singer, bringing to life the timeless standards, jazz favorites, and memorable songs that first launched her career.

Peggy Malone's remarkable career spans decades of entertaining audiences throughout the West. She received an Emmy Award at the 2001 Heartland Regional Emmy Awards for "Singin' A Cowboy Song," a song she wrote and performed for the PBS special "A Night at the Rodeo," produced by her son, Brian Malone. In 2006, she was inducted into the Colorado Country Music Association Hall of Fame and has earned numerous honors from the organization, including Entertainer of the Year (2013), Female Vocalist Legend (2015), and Female Vocalist of the Year (2016).

Throughout the evening, Peggy will share the music and stories that shaped her extraordinary career, offering audiences a rare glimpse into a side of her artistry that is seldom showcased today.

Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Peggy's talent for the first time, this intimate performance promises an evening filled with warmth, nostalgia, laughter, and exceptional music.

Proceeds from this special event will benefit KAFM Community Radio, helping support local programming, community voices, independent music, and the vibrant arts culture of Western Colorado.

Come enjoy a memorable night with one of Colorado's most celebrated performers while supporting the community radio station that keeps local radio thriving.

Susan Gibson
Sunday, August 9th
Doors: 6:30 PM | Show: 7:00 PM

Award-winning songwriter Susan Gibson knows all about blessings, hard roads, and the kind of songs that take on a life of their own. Nearly three decades after writing “Wide Open Spaces,” which became one of the biggest country songs of all time, Gibson has continued building a life on the road — traveling with dogs, songs, and a clear-eyed commitment to telling the truth.

Her songs carry the perspective of someone who has known grief, sobriety, family loss, heartbreak, healing, and the long miles between them — but still finds a way to leave listeners feeling wiser, lighter, and uplifted. Whether writing about the things that hurt or finding the humor and resilience buried inside them, Gibson brings honesty, warmth, and connection to every room she plays.
