A Colorado music legend, President and CEO for AEG Live Rocky Mountain Region Chuck Morris has paved the way for music in our state from booking the first tours of Bonnie Raitt, ZZ Top and The Doobie Brothers to launching the new Mission Ballroom in RiNo opening summer 2019.

As a Brooklyn boy Morris had always had a passion for music, “I fell in love with music at a very young age,” Morris said.

Morris joined us at Your Conversation With earlier this month to talk music, the greats, his most memorable moments and the importance of finding the right people – for music talent and for your team.

“I found a long time ago that you’re only as good as the people who work with you and I’ve always created an atmosphere of having fun, paying my people well because the music business is a tough business and if you can’t have a good time with it it’s not worth the agony,” Morris said.

Check out the video below to dive deep into Morris’s music career.

Laura James is the marketing and communications coordinator for the Denver Metro Chamber.
