From the website:
Jarman and Co Events manages the South Pearl Street Farmers Market. They strive to support and enhance the surrounding community by providing a Farmers Market experience where a great variety of fresh and wholesome products can be found. It is important to support our local community, therefore, all products must be grown, raised, produced or gathered by the vendor in the State of Colorado or in counties bordering the State of Colorado. In the case that a product is unavailable in the state of Colorado but we feel it would be a benefit to the market and the vendors we will evaluate the relationship between the vendor and the producer and make the best decision we can noting that sometimes there are exceptions to the rule.

However, I will be playing a there on Friday, May 6, with Rowboat and Gun Street Ghost.
About Rowboat:
This thing moves purposefully and aimlessly. It drifts among behemoth ships, and burned out vessels that sink away, down narrow lanes that hug the shore, strung with lights that peak and fade, then out into the endless night, beyond the crush of the channel lines, out of sight of the fading light, where darkness fills the eyes and mind, and the ocean’s sound matches mine.
About Gun Street Ghost:
Gun Street Ghost is a Denver-based four piece band that fuses a punk past and hundreds of hours in the honky tonk into nuanced, powerful rock and roll.
Doors open at 8 p.m. (I’m on first). Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

UPDATE: This show has been rescheduled for April 29, 2022.
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ramirez, who performs and records under the name Desert Atlas, writes what he calls lowercase songs, which often document a preoccupation with time and place: geography and geology, weather and the seasons, and, always, the past.
Originally from the Philippines, Ramirez arrived in New Jersey at the age of 17. After a couple of decades in the Northeast, he moved to Denver in 2015 and has been greatly inspired by the scale of the American Southwest, releasing his first solo full-length album—The Great Plains are an Ocean—in June 2021.
He was recently featured as part of the Local 303 on Indie 102.3, and his music can be heard on all major streaming services.
