Make-A-Wish Colorado announces summer concert series featuring three country stars at Number 38 in Denver

Jul 9, 2026, 5:44 PM

Make-A-Wish Colorado is bringing live music back to Denver’s RiNo district this August with the Summer Concert Series presented by United Airlines, a three-night run at Number 38 where every dollar from ticket sales goes toward granting wishes for Colorado kids.

The lineup features three country artists you’d normally see in a much larger space. For these special shows, you get to see them up close and personal… Spencer Crandall headlines Aug. 14 with wish kid Emmalese opening the show. Tyler Farr takes the stage Aug. 22, and Mike Eli the lead singers of the Eli Young Band closes out the series Aug. 30. Tickets are available through Eventbrite.

Number 38, the sprawling social hall at 3560 Chestnut Place, has become a go-to partner for Make-A-Wish Colorado — the venue partnered with the organization during its annual Bison Days celebration earlier this year and hosted the inaugural “Summer of 7,000 Wishes” series in 2025 with Michael Ray and Cody Cozz. Spencer Fronk, the venue’s managing director, and Make-A-Wish Colorado President and CEO Scott Dishong have appeared together on Great Day Colorado to promote the partnership.
