Dave Bowman: Keeping the Montrose Summer Music Series Free and Alive

This week, we sat down with Dave Bowman, event coordinator for the Montrose Summer Music Series, to talk about how the popular summer concerts come together—and how they remain completely free to the public from June through September. Dave’s been a part of the Montrose community for decades. He opened Blue Sky Music, a CD store on Main Street, back in 1998, later worked as a resource teacher, and went on to serve as a city councilman and mayor. Now, he’s focused on making live music a staple of summer in Montrose. We get into what it takes to plan a full season of shows, how the team pulls it off without charging admission, and what keeps Dave coming back year after year. If you’ve ever kicked back on a summer night to enjoy the series, this episode gives you a look at all the work happening behind the scenes.
