When Bert McCracken says that the songs that comprise Toxic Positivity are some of the most sincere he has ever written, you know he doesn’t more...0 speak those words lightly. For as long as he can remember, McCracken has used music as an outlet to lay bare his innermost thoughts and emotions. For 23 years, that writing has enabled The Used to deeply resonate with fans the world over. Exploding off the back of universally adored rock anthems such as ‘The Taste Of Ink’, ‘Take It Away’ and ‘Pretty Handsome Awkward’, the many millions of streams and record sales (including the platinum-certified The Used and In Love And Death) their career has yielded are one thing; the human connection formed between artist and audience is priceless, however. To that end alone, The Used can consider themselves four of the luckiest and richest men in music.

Poe Project 2023

7:00pm-9:00pm, Main Street, Grand Junction

Poe on the Streets is an event of The Poe Project celebrating the life, works, and inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe. This year, individuals will be more...0 roaming Main Street performing short works by Poe or those inspired by Poe. Edgar Allan Poe did not make money off of his work during his lifetime. He died on October 7, 1849, after having been found lying in the street wearing someone else's clothing. It is in this way that our street performances honor his life. If you are wondering how much you might donate, Poe was compensated for The Raven with $9. 100% of donations will benefit The Poe Project. This event typically runs about $100-$300/year to produce including printing costs, venues, fees for credit card payments, and other overhead. 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.
