KRCC concerts present the 2nd Annual Newhoma Music & Mountain Festival
at the Midland Pavilion in Woodland Park, CO.
“Newhoma is a celebration of art, music and the outdoors,” explains festival co-founder Terry Hayden. “As was the case last year, we’ll have great food, diverse music and good company with entertainment and plenty of time to experience community in the Pikes Peak region.” This year’s event will be benefiting children's arts programs in Teller County and beyond via the Woodland Park Arts Alliance.
Newhoma Music & Mountain Festival debuted in 2010 at Big Spring Ranch on Sanborn Western Camps in Florissant. Opting for a more central location, Hayden moved the festival to Woodland Park, a thriving arts community at the intersection of Highways 24 and 67 — a mere 30 minutes from Colorado Springs.
The line-up features a diverse array of artists — already a Newhoma trademark — including Joseph Arthur, Euforquestra, Valerie June, and Barry & Michelle Patterson.
As last year’s attendees learned first-hand, Newhoma isn’t your typical music festival- it's about music and reveling in the passion of those making it. Newhoma is about presenting a quality event that celebrates nature while highlighting relaxing (or exhilarating) alternative lifestyle options all wrapped around a festival setting. At the core, Newhoma is about providing an opportunity for community, place, fun and wonder.
KRCC 91.5 Colorado Springs/Pueblo
KRCC is a not for profit radio station established in 1951, and has been designed as a blend of both educational and community broadcaster. Programming includes NPR, PRI and APM syndicated news and information, local news, Music Mix, Jazz, Blues, Celtic, Reggae, Americana, World, and R&B. KRCC’s broadcast signal covers southeastern Colorado, including Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Walsenburg, Trinidad, Limon and La Junta, and also the mountain communities of Buena Vista, Salida, Westcliffe, Gardner, La Veta, Villa Grove, and Raton, NM.
In the fall of 2007, KRCC added live entertainment to its list of community services in Southern Colorado. The goal of these live events has been to provide nationally renowned entertainment here in Southern Colorado that patrons would normally have traveled to Denver or Boulder to enjoy. We believe that KRCC is naturally suited to promote those music and speaking events that fall within our regular programming – live events that the community has been lacking to a large degree. To date, KRCC has produced dozens of live events, including five Blues Under the Bridge music festivals in downtown Colorado Springs, three MeadowGrass Music Festivals at La Foret in Black Forest, two Etown Radio Show tapings, and one Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me NPR show. KRCC remains committed to partnering with like-minded organizations in producing quality live events that benefit members of our station, and the larger community of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico.
KRCC has two primary programming goals: To bring quality news, information, and ideas to our listeners, and to communicate art, ideas, and opinions to the communities KRCC serves.

WPAA - Woodland Park Arts Alliance
To enrich our community and facilitate art and cultural development by connecting and educating residents, local businesses, local government, and visitors to foster an appreciation of the arts.
The Woodland Park Arts Alliance (WPAA) was initiated by several people working to promote an appreciation of fine art and local art in the area. This vision quickly grew to embrace arts activities of all sorts, as the announcement in 2009 of the Arts Alliance showed great demand for a support network by which all types of arts could be showcased. With this start, a property owner offered the use of a vacant building for shows, small concerts and classes. Dubbed the WPAA Art School Building, it has housed many different art exhibits, music festivals, and meetings. WPAA is in its third year of programs. The Alliance has organized and held both education programs and special arts exhibits in the WPAA Art School Building and throughout Woodland Park. The Alliance continues to strengthen the focus of programs in the building while managing to keep the doors open for classes and special shows. Another goal is to provide more programs in support of seniors and youth in the area. WPAA intends to continue its efforts to provide arts and music-related functions that will address needs of our kids and seniors.
