A star-studded list of bands and musicians has come together to support the opening of The Bluebird School in Boulder, Colo., by donating signed memorabilia, ticket packages, and more to a benefit raffle. The raffle will raise financial support for the School’s fall opening, which will offer free music instruction to children of Colorado teachers, first responders, and mental health professionals. 

Phish, The Lumineers, Tyler Childers, Wilco, Gregory Alan Isakov, Mt. Joy, Jason Isbell, Lord Huron, Shakey Graves, Waxahatchee, Ben Harper, Jim James, Jeff Tweedy, Margo Price, The Head & The Heart, City and Colour, Watchhouse, Alison Krauss, John Craigie, Colin Meloy, Langhorne Slim, Paul Hoffman, Shovels & Rope, Willie Watson, Daniel Rodriguez and others have donated items. 

100% of the proceeds will benefit the school, with the amount raised indicative of the number of children admitted to the program. The impending raffle allows all participants to be a winner. Raffle tickets are $10 each and will be entered into a drawing software that will select one number/ individual to pick from a pot of donated prizes that includes a signed Mondegreen festival poster from Phish, Tyler Childers signed and number album art, a Margo Price signed acoustic guitar, various signed Wilco posters, and more one-of-a-kind items.

Anyone who purchases over $1000 in raffle tickets will receive a limited edition, hard-cover photo book featuring all of the performers who have played the Bluebird Music Festival in its initial six-year stint, a limited-edition screen print festival poster, and four tickets to the Opening Night Gala, which will be held on April 18. Additional tiers of prizes are available for those who spend $250 and $100 in raffle tickets. 

All remaining items will be found at The Bluebird School silent auction at the Bluebird Music Festival Opening Night Gala on April 18, 2025. The event will feature musical performances by Bruce Hornsby, The Fray’s Isaac Slade, and more. 

The Bluebird School will be a direct result of the annual Bluebird Music Festival and its commitment to enriching Colorado’s musical community. The forthcoming festival weekend, April 18-20, 2025, will feature sets at the Macky Auditorium in Boulder, from Watchhouse, Hornsby, The Tallest Man on Earth, Hiss Golden Messenger, Daniel Rodriguez, Slade, Emelise, Neffy, and the Wrenn Van Band.
