Event Information

On December 9th, KRFC hosted an special performance at the Sunset Lounge – and what an unforgettable evening it was! With only 50 guests in attendance, the room was filled with warmth, connection, and a shared love of live music and community radio.

The night opened with a soulful performance by Ilana Held of Mystee, followed by a moving, close-up set from Glen Phillips, lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Their music, stories, and presence made the experience truly one-of-a-kind.

This gathering helped strengthen KRFC’s mission to amplify local voices, artists, and stories across Northern Colorado and beyond. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this Colorado Gives Day celebration such a success.
