Last week, the Denver music scene lost a legendary figure when Terry Dalton passed away at the young age of 59. The renowned singer-songwriter and open-mike host died at his home on Friday, March 23. Dalton will be fondly remembered for his "humor and his razor sharp wit," says his longtime friend and singing parter Bob Turner, who joined him on stage last Tuesday evening at Meade Street station for what ended up being Dalton's last performance.

Turner and Bob Laughlin are helping organize a wake this Sunday, April 1, from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. at 3 Kings Tavern. The informal gathering will include audio and video clips featuring Dalton as well as two-song tributes from many of the innumerable musicians whose lives he's touched over the years -- undoubtedly among them, his nephew, Railbenders' frontman Jim Dalton, with whom the elder Dalton perhaps had the most profound impact.

Collins and her band were supposeded to appear tonight at the Paramount Theatre, and in fact, Collins is already here. But her band was supposed to fly out of New York today, and due to the "severe weather conditions," their flights were cancelled.
