Mental Wellness in Colorado’s Music Community

To support a healthy music community, The Hall’s Keep The Beat program provides financial assistance for mental health and addiction counseling to eligible Colorado musicians, industry professionals and gig workers, while also raising awareness, sharing resources and de-stigmatizing the conversation around mental health and addiction within the music industry. With mental health issues and addiction dependence soaring across the globe, the music industry has certainly not been immune.

After the pandemic shut down our music industry for a previously unimaginable amount of time, Colorado Music Hall of Fame adopted a new mission that includes supporting our local musicians, gig workers, stagehands and industry personnel. Keep The Beat, a mental wellness initiative, was born to raise awareness about mental wellness and share free and low-cost resources with Colorado’s music industry.
