Also featured is an interview with Tim Kennedy of Ovation West in Evergreen, whose production of Annie Get Your Gun was suspended for its second weekend in light of the shooting.

Later in the episode, we run down our list of the Top 10 Colorado Headliners — shows opening around the state that caught our eye.
