A HeidiTown Favorite, The Elders, coming to Colorado

The Mayor’s all-time favorite band is coming to Colorado this week!   The Elders are a arse-kickin’ Celtic rock band from Kansas City.   I’ve been following this band for years and have seen them live more times than I can count.   I’ve  also  written multiple articles about them for HeidiTown and the Berthoud Weekly Surveyor.   I’m a pusher too – I buy their CDs as presents, and
