Outdoor Concert + Funk, Soul & Motown Vibes = Soul School at UVC Free

Get Your Groove On:
Soul & Motown Vibes
Join us Friday, August 8, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at the University Village Colorado Shopping Center (between Hacienda Colorado and Smashburger, 5246 N. Nevada Ave.) for a free summer concert featuring Soul School—Colorado’s Premier Party Band! They bring the best of Motown, R&B, soul, funk, pop, and golden oldies. This is one of John‘s favorite bands out of Denver maybe the best in Colorado. It’s casual, fun, and outdoors—bring a chair or blanket, invite a friend, and get ready to dance. We’re camping that weekend, but this band is too good to miss! This is a non-hosted, non-alcohol event and is weather-dependent, so please dress accordingly.
After the concert, those who want to go, could possibly go over to have some pie they close at 10 PM.
