PPLD prides itself on building strong partnerships in the community it serves. A great example of this is the Showcase at Studio Bee, the Library’s collaboration with KRCC, COPPeR, The Gazette, The Colorado Springs Independent, Downtown Partnerships, the Pikes Peak Center, and KCME. This concert series features some of the best in local musical talent performing original music, which is captured for posterity by PPLD TV. All artists included in the Showcase are homegrown talent from El Paso, Teller, and Pueblo counties and have produced an album and write their own music.

All Showcase at Studio Bee performances are free and open to the public. They take place inside Studio Bee, located on the north end of the Pikes Peak Center at 190 S. Cascade Ave. in Colorado Springs. This year’s series kicks off on Thursday, January 26, with the following acts:

• Tron The Band, 6:45 - 7:15 p.m.
• Madison Hunziker, 7:30 - 8 p.m.
• The Craig Walter Band, 8:15 - 8:45 p.m.
