"Shifting Scenes" — Live

Experience the extraordinary talent of Ernest Aines, an acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter redefining the live music experience.

Blending heartfelt lyricism, intricate guitar work, and a voice described as flowing “like water over mossy rocks,” Ernest brings his brand-new show Shifting Scenes to the stage. This fresh performance introduces electric guitar alongside his renowned finger-style playing, expanding the emotional and sonic range of his work.

Ernest has earned international recognition for his captivating sound, drawing comparisons to Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, and Nick Drake. A two-time Australian Folk Artist of the Year nominee (2023 & 2024), his debut album Spiral Bound has surpassed a million streams, with Rhythms Magazine calling it “a sonic tapestry that is just breathtaking.”

Recent highlights include a standout performance at the 2024 Cambridge Folk Festival, an archived performance at Folk Alliance International (2023) by the Library of Congress, and an appearance at the renowned Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow. Sold-out shows and live performances on the BBC have further cemented his reputation as one of the most compelling artists of his generation.

Don’t miss the chance to experience Ernest Aines live — a soul-stirring evening of music that transports, connects, and lingers long after the final note.

Driven by Passion. United by Shelby.

The Shelby Colorado Rally is more than just an annual event—it’s a community built around the love of driving, the beauty of Colorado, and the iconic legacy of Carroll Shelby. What started as a few Shelby owners cruising together quickly turned into something much bigger: a family of enthusiasts, explorers, and friends who come together each year for one unforgettable experience.

We’re not a racing club. We’re not about who’s fastest. We’re about the drive—the winding roads, the mountain passes, the roadside diners, and the memories made along the way. If you’ve ever felt the thrill of a Shelby engine echoing through a canyon or caught your breath at a scenic overlook with your car by your side, then you already get it.

Each summer, we host our flagship rally—a multi-day, fully mapped journey through Colorado’s most breathtaking routes. It’s our main event, but it’s far from our only one. Throughout the year, you’ll find us meeting up for impromptu drives, casual hangouts, and local events that keep the Shelby spirit alive.

This group is for real drivers, real friends, and real stories. Whether you’re in a GT350, GT500, Cobra, Super Snake, or a classic Shelby Mustang, there’s a spot for you in our lineup.

We’re here to connect, to cruise, and to carry on a legacy—one epic mile at a time.

Then get ready for a lively evening of stirring Western music and humorous tall tales from the Flying W Wranglers, the second-oldest Western band in the world. The show this year features a special 150/250 celebration of our State's and Nation's birthday. Arrive early to explore the Western Grounds, meet our friendly ranch animals, try your hand at roping and other cowboy skills, do some shopping, and see vibrant demonstrations by Osage Nation dancers. It’s a night of food, music, and frontier charm your family will never forget.

'POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive' by Selina Fillinger

Springs Ensemble Theatre to stage “POTUS” at PPSC
First co-production at Pikes Peak State College since new partnership announcement brings zany summer comedy downtown.

Springs Ensemble Theatre announces its June production of “POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive” by Selina Fillinger, running June 4 through June 21, 2026, at Studio West Mulliken Black Box at the Pikes Peak State College Downtown Campus. This marks SET’s first production at Pikes Peak State College since the two organizations announced a new partnership designed to strengthen the local theatre ecosystem by combining forces and creating opportunities for students to work alongside theatre professionals.

What begins as a public relations nightmare spirals into a full-scale comic emergency. Rather than spoofing on one party or the other, “POTUS” satirizes the machinery of politics itself: ego, image management, scandal, institutional dysfunction, and the people left cleaning up (and potentially complicit in) the mess.

At the center of the story is a truth often overlooked in public life: many of the people doing the hardest work, solving the biggest problems, and keeping institutions functioning are women whose influence is not always publicly recognized. “POTUS” turns that reality into comedy while also giving center stage to seven dynamic female characters who are smart, messy, strategic, funny, and fully human.
