Testimonials

YELP reviews:
"Nestled by Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Here you'll find some great Red Rocks Amphitheatre merchandise, as well as a large gathering of Colorado musicians' memorabilia. You can't think of Denver without thinking of folk singer John Denver. If you're a fan, you'll definitely want to stop by to see a whole room filled with awards, clothing, and other mementos of his career."

"Down the hill from Red Rocks Amphitheater, this little gem is a great place to hit afterward. Free, free, free! Entertaining & Fun! Great little gift shop and interesting array of music legends displayed. Don't miss this stop on your Denver area sightseeing tour!"
