Welcome to the Center for the Arts

When you've got it, you've got it. And Brad Lee Schroeder has what it takes to go far in the country/western world. Hailing from the Mile High City, Schroeder takes to the outdoor stage for Alpenglow on August 2 to fill the air with foot-stomping tunes, emotional ballads and witty humor. When Schroeder steps on stage, there is no doubt that he was born with rock and roll in his soul. This Colorado native commands attention with his energetic and passionate live performances. After a decade of performing on the rock circuit, often opening arenas for top recording artists, Brad gave into his passion for country music. Join us for another great afternoon of free music as Alpenglow!
