Colorado-based, Americana and blues singer/songwriter David Starr. David has honed his decades-long career touring internationally and sharing the stage with esteemed artists such as John Oates (Hall & Oates) and John McEuen, as well as opening for acts like America, Jim Messina, Karla Bonoff, Survivor, and more. In 2022, he was a showcasing artist at Folk Alliance International, AmericanaFest, and Southwest Regional Folk Alliance. David’s latest project Better Me, features acoustic-driven songs such as the title track and “Closer To You,” the feisty blues-rock “Poison The Water,” as well as “Any Chance Of Going Home,” showcasing Starr’s masterful storytelling. For his 2020 Touchstones project, Starr covered the music that shaped his own, including "I've Got To Use My Imagination" (Gladys Knight) and "These Days" (Jackson Browne). His critically acclaimed album Beauty & Ruin is a collection of songs inspired by Of What Was, Nothing Is Left, a novel written by Starr’s grandfather in 1972. Produced and arranged by John Oates, it is a southern gothic tale beautifully told through Starr’s own musical lens. His prestige extends beyond the stage, having launched Starr’s Guitars in Little Rock, before relocating to Cedaredge, CO in 2001, where it is now a beloved institution. Starr is also a founding member of the board for the Grand Mesa Arts & Events Center in Cedaredge, an intimate event space aimed at attracting musicians and visual artists to Colorado’s Western Slope.

Project celebrating the life, works, and inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe. This year, we will be performing an adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Purloined Letter featuring David Kenworthy as Sherlock Holmes and Michael Hardesty as Dr. John Watson, as well as several Poe favorites including a stage adaptation of The Murders in the Rue Morgue. There will be an intermission. 100% of ticket sales and donations go to the CMU Writers Conference, an annual high school invitational with writing workshops and a guest speaker, as well as writing and portfolio competitions with winners eligible for scholarships to CMU. These funds will not go towards these prize packages, but for the development of the conference including transportation and attendee experience. The Poe Project is a month-long festival springing off with Poe Week from October 1st through 7th annually, culminating on the date of Edgar Allan Poe's death. We invest in our community by giving a portion of the proceeds from each and every event to the local non-profit of the sponsor’s choice. The Poe Project is spearheaded and presented by Geek Parties of the Grand Valley. The sponsor of For the Love of Poe is the Colorado Mesa University English Department.
