John Fogerty is a true American treasure, one of popular music’s all-time greatest singers, guitar players, and songwriters. As leader of the one and only Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own.
After Creedence Clearwater Revival called it quits in 1972, Fogerty embarked on what would prove to be an equally impressive solo career. Among his many other honors are induction in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Since their formation in the mid-’80s, Big Head Todd & the Monsters have continued to evolve and explore, moving beyond their Colorado club circuit roots to become one of the most adventurous, respected and durable bands in America. Through constant touring and a zeal to travel down new musical avenues in the studio, BHTM (as their dedicated fans call them) have honed their collective stew of influences into a trademark hybrid sound that’s immediately recognizable.
The ceremony will include a procession led by the Colorado National Guard and representatives from the Colorado public safety community, remarks by the Governor and Mayor, and the presentation of military honors to include a salute, flyover, Taps and bell ceremony.
When the Twin Towers collapsed, first responders ran toward the burning buildings to rescue civilians. The procession honors these brave men and women and all those who work tirelessly every day to keep our nation safe.
A special flyover, 21-gun salute and the playing of Taps will honor all of the men and women who have given their lives in service.
A fallen sailor in the U.S. Navy is honored with the chiming of a bell to signify the end of his watch. Four chimes will commemorate the lives lost in each of the attacks on 9/11.
Honor Guards will continually rotate to allow the public to approach steel recovered from the Twin Towers. Together will we remember, we will honor, and we will pay our respects.
As we reflect upon 9/11 and the terrorist attacks since, it’s important that we stand unified in our commitment to remember those lost, salute our first responders and service men and women, and honor our country’s spirit of resilience.
Join us for Colorado Remembers 9/11. The day will include a special 15th anniversary ceremony and a free concert, featuring internationally renowned bands.
