DENVER — Denver-based Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are headlining a concert this weekend aimed at bringing attention to the issue of gun violence.
The band, along with Rateliff’s foundation, The Marigold Project are hosting events in the Mile High City called "Not One More," which will focus on gun violence prevention.
From 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. on October 13, the group will host workshops, panels and training sessions on the topic of gun violence at Industry Denver located at 3001 Brighton Boulevard. Those interested can RSVP to workshops ahead of time.
The band had initially planned a concert and rally for Sunday, October 14, but due to winter weather in the forecast, those events will now happen on Saturday, October 13 at Levitt Pavilion.
Doors open at 1 p.m., with the concert and rally scheduled to go from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Joining the band will be special guests Kam Franklin of The Suffers, Los Mocochetes and the Denver Children’s Choir.
General sale tickets went on sale October 5 for $18 each plus fees. Organizers say all proceeds from the event will go towards nonprofit organizations dedicated to gun violence prevention.
Nathaniel Rateliff elaborated on the reasons why the band is participating in the rally and concert on his Instagram page:
