The Laughing Goat Coffeehouse · thelaughinggoat.com
We loved the Laughing Goat for keeping the historic Penny Lane’s artistic community alive, and we were honored that they let Telling Stories take the stage for our first and second seasons. We also can’t thank them enough for providing extraordinary amounts of legal addictive stimulants (that is, espresso) to our musicians, writers, and audience members.

Tee & Cakes · teeandcakes.com
How lucky does one startup nonprofit have to be to get a CUPCAKE SPONSOR? Tee & Cakes unique pairing of apparel and treats has kept our collective sweet tooth happy — and we’re also grateful to be able to party cupcake-style in their funky downtown space after our concerts.

Jim Casey · jim@independentcoder.com
It’s not hard to imagine a website, but it IS hard to design it, build it, and implement it. Jim Casey takes our big ideas and makes them into a reality on your screen. Without Jim, the internets would be seriously lacking Telling Stories. And who wants the world wide web without us?

910Arts · 910arts.com
This beautiful gallery space was our home for Season Three. We especially resonated with the gallery’s mission of showing the audience the artistic process, and we were honored to perform in the midst of artwork centered on social change. Inspiring. Thanks, 910.

Mercury Cafe · mercurycafe.com
We here at Telling Stories are big believers in community — so when Denver’s bohemian Mecca, the Mercury Café, donated space for our second season of shows, it was a great fit for our collaborative spirit. A cafe with a conscience? Brilliant.

Boulder Outdoor Cinema · boulderoutdoorcinema.com
The fact of it is, we make noise. The smart folks at Boulder Outdoor Cinema realize that, so they’ve been kind enough to loan us some very expensive equipment to make sure we’re heard — including all the right gear to record our shows for YouTube fame.

BCAA · bouldercountyarts.org
It takes a lot to believe in a tiny new nonprofit with big dreams and no cash on hand, but the Boulder County Arts Alliance did just that — they took a chance and acted as our fiscal sponsor for Seasons Two and Three, and look where we are now! They mean it when they say that the BCAA “brings the arts to life”. We’re here, in no small part, because of them.

Radio 1190 · radio1190.org
Telling Stories loves independent radio, especially 1190’s Standard Notation show. Which makes us doubly lucky — not only did host Nate Wheeler generously share his airtime with us, he also brought his professional-grade equipment to our shows to create gorgeous recordings of our early seasons.

Avery Brewing · averybrewing.com
Telling Stories would not be the same without a keg, and the kind brewers at Avery made that possible. We can’t thank these creative brewers enough for hosting Season Two’s fundraising concert — Bach and beer? You bet.

Common Threads · commonthreadsboulder.com
Crafty has never been so cool — just check out Common Threads. We were so pleased to have handmade, one-of-a-kind donation envelopes for our Season Three concerts thanks to Common Threads. Telling Stories loves donations, and Common Threads makes it easy for our donors to give in style. Thanks, guys.

Great Divide · greatdivide.com
Great Divide makes world-class beer, and, bless their hearts, they share it with us. Season Three concerts were a blast, thanks in no small part to the kegs we all enjoyed. Our performers love playing for an audience with pint glasses — and stealing a few sips ourselves. PS — Loved the Samurai. Loved it.

Entrepreneurship Center for Music · ec4music.com
We like to think that Telling Stories is more than just stories told — it’s a concept that enables musicians and writers to play and write for a new audience. The ECM agrees, and we are proud to partner with them to bring our perspective as professional musicians and writers to their undergrad and graduate students via panels, programs, and coursework.
