January Non Nonprofit of the Month: The Trujillo Family

by Kelley Dawkins, posted in Music & Notes

Throughout January, all of the Donations added to ticket sales go directly to the Trujillo Family. You can also donate directly to their GoFundMe page.

Dazzle and the Colorado Jazz Family are fundraising on behalf of the Trujillo Family. The Trujillos are closely tied personally and professionally to Jazz in our community. Mi Vida Strings is their family business that makes and repairs string instruments that have a neck and a sound box. There have already been a few professional collaborations at Dazzle’s new venue. Now, it’s time for a personal collaboration: fundraising for the Trujillos as they rebuild their home.

Directly from the Dad, Eric Trujillo’s Facebook post:

Hello dear family and friends. We had a house fire yesterday. Everyone is safe. All pets are safe. We have temp lodging. We are thanking God for His protection and provision!!! Our shop Mi Vida Strings is open for business and we plan to proceed as normal. Our kids are finishing up this semester of school as we speak. We have a dear friend who is insisting on a GoFundMe on our behalf. But I wanted you all to hear it from us first. We have called as many as we can, so we apologize if you didn’t hear from us personally, please know that if we could reach everyone individually we would. But this is our best way to communicate with as many people at once. Pray for us. And rejoice with us. And know that we are trusting God with every detail of our lives. And He is faithful.

(I snapped a couple of photos yesterday morning of our tree ornaments. Good news is, I know who made them, and they can be remade. )

Friends, please help by giving $10 – $1,000. Every little bit counts and together we can make a big difference.

A bit about the Trujillo’s:

Eric- A luthier, who is a craftsperson who builds and repairs string instruments that have a neck and a sound box. A business owner, together with his wife of many years, of Mi Vida Strings

Michele- Just celebrated her 21st birthday just 5 days ago. Her Etsy shop, Michele’sMiniMercado is still open, but the majority of the inventory and supplies are lost. Most items are handcrafted by Michele. Keep an eye on the shop for updates.

Both Eric and Michele are alumni of MSU.

Daniel- Already an accomplished vibraphonist currently attends Standley Lake HS. He launched his vibes debut earlier this year at Dazzle and has plans to attend college in the fall of ‘24. He’s also a longtime CCJA student.

About Maiya- Born on April 30th, International Jazz Day! Currently a sophomore at MSU in Denver, she is an artist in many ways: Art Major, violinist and bassist.

About Lanae- An 8th grader and budding trumpet player and upright bassist. She is still fundraising for her Costa Rica trip….coming up in May 2024! She’s going with her Spanish class on their traditional 8th-grade trip. Maiya participated in this, Daniel was set to go but COVID, and now it’s Lanae’s turn. Those fundraising links are expired, but you can designate fund for her trip with comments in the GoFundMe campaign.

Funds will be used at the family’s discretion. It is undetermined if the fire is a complete loss or a near complete loss. Either way, the Trujillo’s need to replace everything they did not have with them.

1/21/24: From Michele Trujillo

The out of pocket expenses are starting to be revealed as we peel back the layers of insurance policy limits. We have some close friends that have volunteered to help us thru the insurance process. In the meantime, we are getting settled in our temp rental home. The T5 plus all 3 pets are under one roof and for that we are so grateful. We just passed the one month mark of the house fire. The first few weeks were a mixed bag of shock, denial, love and help. Last week was tough with insurance limits news AND we had a theft from our home garage. The process of reporting this to law enforcement, insurance and insurance vendors became its own problem. Here’s the deal though. “We ain’t goin’ out like that!” The Lifter of our heads has lifted them once again and we were renewed spiritually, physically and emotionally this weekend. We continue to be humbled by those that are giving and reaching out. And once again want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts! (Pic was a gift today from Judy Fredericksen. Circa 2005. Mercury Cafe. Eric, Michele and Maiya.)

1/10/24: From Michele Trujillo

Update: we are out of the hotel and in our rental home. I found this quilt at Goodwill. Best or worst find ever? We own several beautiful quilts thanks to Eric’s mom.(they are in abatement jail right now.) So I spotted this one, and first thought “all that hard work and it’s just sitting at goodwill? I have to buy it! And appreciate it! Plus look at all the music material.” Take home, wash, dry, fully unfold….boom I see people in the middle. Then I see foo fighters and 2008. Hysterical laughs erupt. Kids are going crazy. Maiya texts a friend….he says those are your “Foo FIRE-Fighters” guardians of the new home!!! Humor. There’s nothing like it. And now we are creating endless lore about the subjects.

1/3/24: From Michele Trujillo

What a generous offer from Dazzle for those that have donated to our fundraiser! We are overwhelmed (in a good way) with all the love and kindness that has been shown to us. And for all the precious generosity of your hard earned money, we are truly humbled and grateful. We will move from the hotel to a rental this weekend. We will be there until our home is livable again. And we will be there thru Daniel’s final semester of High school. And Lanae’s final semester of 8th grade. 2024 was already shaping up with many family events, and now the rebuilding of our home. One day at a time, one step at a time…holding to God’s unchanging hand. Thank you all so much!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

1/2/24: Update from Dazzle

As a thank you to everyone who has donated or donates before Jan. 6 at 10am, you get a complimentary pair of tickets to Moon.unit at Dazzle on Jan. 6 at 6pm, doors open at 5pm.

Email [email redacted] to have your name put on the guest list.

12/28/23: Update from Eric & Michele Trujillo

From Eric and Michele – we are overwhelmed with gratitude for each and every person who has reached out in compassion to help our situation! The generosity of our community has uplifted us, carried us, and surrounded us. It reminds me of a song called “Lacking Nothing” that was sung in our church, based on Psalms 34. Showers of blessings and good things have been in steady supply since the fire. And we are so thankful. We are taking everything one day at a time, and trying to stay on top of all the to-do’s. The kids are on Christmas break, which has been a mercy, as we can be together as a family and support each other. We are in temp housing and will be for quite some time. All our immediate needs are being met, but we are in this for the long haul, and we know many of you are in the “long haul” camp with us. And that gives us so much strength. God bless each and everyone of you. Every gesture, no matter how small, has made a difference! Thank you from the bottom of our heart and soul.

12/27/23: Update from Dazzle

We are so grateful to both CBS & Fox who ran stories on the Trujillo family’s loss over the last week.

CBS: https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/fire-house-westminster-instrument-store-mi-vida-strings-family-music-community-fund/?fbclid=IwAR34RRh4pVkG0XzV1Rb2mTUIXn9kussx0xL7Aaegxyn9mHhsLhAjZcph8m4

Fox: https://kdvr.com/news/local/denver-violin-maker-loses-home-in-christmas-week-fire/

1/27/23: Update from Dazzle

Thank you so much for getting us close enough to $25,000 that we doubled the goal to $50,000!

Generally, it takes 1.5-2 years for families to rebuild and move back into severely damaged homes and there are lots of cash expenditures necessary to get through that time. From basic necessities like underwear (and all of the clothes that cover it) to down payments / deposits for tradespeople to rebuild the home, there are many expenses to come.

Please continue to share this GoFundMe far and wide.

SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER NONPROFIT OF THE MONTH SUPPORTS MENTAL WELLNESS: UNITED SUICIDE SURVIVORS

by Kelley Dawkins, posted in Music & Notes

Because of the beautiful story that Rocky Mountain PBS did on on the conversations about mental wellness behind the two-night concert series, ‘Gift of Jazz Presents: Chie Imaizumi Little Big Band feat. Randy Brecker and Greg Gisbert‘ Dazzle has decided to continue to support United Suicide Survivors through October. Below you can find a list of mental wellness resources.

At United Suicide Survivors (US), we help people turn their pain into purpose. A Colorado-based nonprofit organization, we support people impacted by suicide — from suicide loss, suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, or caregiving roles — by helping them build community and find ways to make meaning through advocacy. This November 1st and 2nd, we will host the first “Living Beyond Suicide Summit” in Golden, Colorado, where people with lived experiences with suicide will convene to engage in discussion with national policy leaders on the topic of how best to address and understand suicide.

Donations can be added to any tickets purchased in September.

More information about US’ new membership program coming soon…

US is September’s Nonprofit of the Month in conjunction with Greg Gisbert’s Residency Week at Dazzle, Sept. 23 – 28. There is an overarching theme of Mental Wellness, Community Support, and Awareness for each of the shows in the Residency. Dazzle is amplifying these messages to encourage other to seek help without fear of stigma. It is equally important to help loved ones seek help. We all deal with mental wellness to various degrees. Not all wounds are visible, but that doesn’t make them any less real or minimize their need for healing.

Mental Wellness Resources

Colorado Music Hall of Fame provides a number of both Colorado and national organizations that have services available to you at no- or low-cost.

CHOW (Culinary Hospitality Outreach Wellness) prides itself on being a Resource Broker and has a list of resources that are available anytime.

To have your organization, or one you know of, added to this list, email Kelley@DazzleDenver.com

TICKETING & RESERVATIONS

What is VenuePilot?

VenuePilot is our ticketing platform for concert attendance. Ticket links are provided on each respective event page on our website. We request that you purchase your ticket(s) for an event online via our website. We do not process sales over the phone.

Most shows are assigned seats, with seats chosen when buying tickets.

See Our Upcoming Performances

Is there a minimum food & beverage purchase at performances?

Yes, there is a minimum two-item food & beverage purchase at all performances (one item for people under 19). Your ticket purchase supports the artists; your food & beverage purchase supports the venue.

Is Dazzle all ages?

In most cases we allow all ages until 11:00PM. After 11:00PM we are 21 and up only, in accordance with Colorado Liquor Law.

Kids under 12 are almost always free. How do I book a ticket for them?

First, please note that kids are not free for the following shows:

-Kids’ Saturday Matinee

-Charlie Brown Christmas with the Annie Booth Trio & Friends

To add a kid onto your reservation, email Kelley@DazzleDenver.com with the reservation number. If the seat next to you is available, we will reserve it for you. You will receive a confirmation email.

It looks like tables are for 2 people. How do I book for 3, 4, or more people?

Our new location was built out for us with theatre-style seating – it is not a converted restaurant, as our last two locations have been.

For a party of 3 or 4, simply choose 3 or 4 seats next to each other, as you would when buying tickets to a play or movie.

If you want to ensure you have the table to yourself, you must buy both seats for that table. Luckily, if you do share a table, Dazzle’s patrons are very friendly.

This photo was taken from table C1.

All tickets must be purchased online. There are no door sales. I have purchased a ticket online, do I also need to make a reservation?

When you purchase tickets for a concert via our website, you DO NOT need to make additional reservations.

I have complimentary tickets for local shows only. How do I know which ones are local shows?

The majority of Dazzle’s shows feature top local talent. The list of touring shows is here and is updated regularly.

How does tiered seating work?

Dazzle utilizes a tiered seating model for most shows. Prices vary based on your proximity to the stage. Please note that we have outfitted the space with several zones of sound reinforcement, and the sound should be great from anywhere you sit.

Does Dazzle offer refunds or exchanges?

ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. No refunds on tickets. This is a standard policy shared by all music venues, and there’s one easy explanation – your money goes to pay the artists, and is out of our hands once the event has occurred.

With that said, we are a small, independent venue and have been known to allow exchanges. If you need to exchange tickets, you will have to buy tickets for the show you want to switch to, and then request a refund for your already purchased tickets. Example: you have tickets for the 7PM show and wish to attend the 9PM show instead, (or go a different day), you will have to buy tickets for the 9PM show and then request a refund for your 7PM tickets. Send refund requests to host@dazzledenver.com

What if a performance is sold out?

For sold-out shows, there is generally a wait list for available space in the main listening room. The wait list is only generated IN-HOUSE one hour prior to the show – and patrons must be physically at the venue to be on the waitlist. If there are openings, we will begin seating waitlist patrons 15 minutes after a show begins. 

The bar area and Piano Lounge are first come, first served, including standing availability. The music can be heard from here. Please note that talking MAY NOT be allowed in this area during a LISTENING performance. This varies greatly by show and is up to management’s discretion, unless otherwise noted in the show’s description.

We are a jazz club and occasionally improvise some sold-out shows, by converting the bar area and piano lounge into ticketed seats. On those unusual occasions it is noted in the show’s description and standing is permitted in these areas.

Do you offer student/teacher discounts?

On several of our performances, we offer a discounted ticket for students and teachers with a valid school ID. If you do not see a discounted ticket listed on the ticket page, then it is not currently available. In the event of low ticket sales, we do run ticket promotions for students/teachers within the week leading up to the performance.

Can I use my gift card to buy tickets online?

Gift cards are not compatible with our online ticketing sales system. To use your gift card for tickets, email deborah@dazzledenver.com, we will reserve your seats and your ticket price will be added to the final bill at the end of the show. You can pay the final bill with your gift card. You can also use your gift card to pay for food and drinks while at the venue.

Timing & Seating

What are your open hours?

As a music venue, we do not have “regular hours.” Our hours are based on our scheduled performances which vary throughout the week. We open for food and drinks one hour before the first show of the day. We close once the last show of the day is over. Our kitchen is generally open through the last performance of the day, although sometimes it may close a little earlier depending upon business.

When should I arrive for the performance?

Seating for ticketed performances begins one hour prior to the first performance of the evening. If there is more than one show scheduled in an evening, doors for the later show(s) open anywhere from 30-45 minutes prior to that performance – depending on how quickly we can turn the stage and the room. Food & Beverage service begins the moment you sit down and extends throughout the performance.

Can I reserve my table or seat for the show?

Yes, we’ve updated our ticketing system to where you choose your seat when you purchase the ticket. Tables are shared with the seat next to it. If you want to reserve the full table, you must purchase tickets for the two seats on either side of the table.

Community Seating (aka Club Seating)?

Tables are shared with the seat next to it. If you want to reserve the full table, you must purchase tickets for the two seats on either side of the table.

How long do the performances last?

A typical Dazzle set lasts 75 minutes. That being said, artistic expression is inherently spontaneous. There are instances of the sets being shorter or longer than average.

Do I need a ticket to come in and sit at the bar?

Generally no, but for extremely popular shows, ticketed seating will be sold in the bar area. This is indicated in the show’s description.

Do I need a ticket to come in and sit in the El Chapultepec Piano Lounge?

Generally no, but for extremely popular shows, ticketed seating will be sold in the bar area. This is indicated in the show’s description.

Do I need a ticket to come in and sit in the Main Listening Room?

Yes. https://www.dazzledenver.com/about/faq/seating-charts/

Restaurant / Bar Service

Is there a minimum purchase requirement?

Yes, there is a minimum purchase of two food or beverage items per person. Ticket sales support the musicians while food and beverage purchases support the venue.

Can I eat or drink during the show?

Yes, Dazzle has a delicious small-plates menu. Dining is encouraged, but not mandatory. There is a minimum purchase of two items per show. However you want to spend that with us, is your choice.

We strongly recommend using the QR codes on the table to order, especially during the show to minimize disruptive conversations.

Tip: Ordering through the app as opposed to the server results in much faster service.

Can I come in for dinner or a drink if I don’t have show tickets?

Generally yes, but for extremely popular shows, ticketed seating will be sold in the bar area. This is indicated in the show’s description.

Why was I up-charged at the bar for my drink?

The prices listed on our liquors are for an 1.5oz shot. If you order a drink neat or on the rocks it is a 2oz pour and you are charged $2 more. Same goes for a martini – they are a 3oz pour which incurs a $4 upcharge.

Do you serve brunch?

Yes! We are now serving Brunch Sundays at 10:30 am. Your $5 admission ticket includes the music and once there, you may order off our new brunch menu. A reservation is not needed for Brunch, once you buy a ticket you can come at your leisure.

Do you serve breakfast or lunch?

Watch for upcoming news.

Other

Can I book Dazzle for an event (big or small)?

You sure can! Get in touch with us on our Parties Page.

How do I go about getting my band booked at Dazzle?

There is no “surefire” way to get booked at Dazzle. But if you submit your information on our Artist Consideration Page we will take a look and listen and may get in touch with you. Please do not spam us. We get thousands of people trying to book with us. Unless you have a new body of material to present, you do not need to fill out the form multiple times.

I left my sunglasses, jacket, keys, ect. Is there a lost and found?

Yes. We keep lost items for seven days and then donate them. Stop by during opening hours to check it.

What do the rocks on the tables symbolize?

The rocks on the table symbolize community being the foundation of Dazzle. When a new building is built, there is always a cornerstone placed first. The rest of the building is built upon that cornerstone. As we opened Dazzle at the Arts Complex, we asked our community to bring in rocks to symbolize that they – the community – is the cornerstone of Dazzle.

Are pets allowed?

In accordance with the Denver Performing Arts Complex, all animals (except service animals) are prohibited. Please visit the Permitted & Prohibited Items page for a complete list.
