Bend in the Road Studios

In 2025, our community music gigs totaled 61, including 18 holiday performances in December
—nearly all supporting our senior community.

A big heartfelt thank you to
Paul Hanke & David Liapis
for their constant support.

We also gave 3 months of free guitar lessons to 23 seniors at Silver Key Senior Services, and donated 4 acoustic guitars to others.

New organizations supported include Pikes Peak Hospice and Ronald McDonald House.

All of this was made possible with community purchases from
Falcon Guitars. They sold over 500 guitars this year!

September performances include a mini-concert at the local hospital and a wonderful time playing at Treehouse Cafe in COS - big thanks to Paul Hanke for supporting.

We also started giving free guitar lessons to seniors at the new Silver Key Senior Services in Monument!

If you would like to get a free lesson please send a text to the number on the contact card.
1 hour lessons are still only $30!

For many seniors, playing music isn’t just noise; it’s a bridge to meaningful moments lost to time.

Today I watched a man play a long lost childhood memory on his newly repaired shovel guitar. Congrats Bill, you are ready to rock my friend!!

Here is another moment of recognition for Bend in the Road Studios!

Our volunteer outreach program not only benefits those we serve but also creates a ripple effect of kindness and connection in the Colorado Springs area.

Volunteering truly makes a difference!

Volunteers are the best kind of people, says Troy Waltz.
