Host/Narrator

We had a sold-out two-night concert at Candlelight Dinner Playhouse.

It was February 10th, 2020.

It was a Monday night.

Scott Sessions was in my Elvis tribute band.

He was a trumpet player.

I had been promising Scott for months that I would make it to one of his gigs.

We bought our tickets the minute they went on sale, and I was going to get to see Scott play for the first time in forever.

It was pretty exciting.

As he got closer and closer to start time, you know, Scott wasn't there.

It was weird because Scott had failed to show up for the gig, something Scott doesn't do.

He was always ridiculously early to the gig and always ready to go, dressed, looking good.

When the curtain opened and he wasn't there, we thought, well, maybe he'll show up in a little bit.

And if I remember correctly, it was starting to snow.

It was snowy.

It was cold.

Scott didn't show up.

In the back of my mind, I had a bad feeling.

We were all trying to figure out what had happened.

Our story begins here in Greeley, Colorado.

It's about an hour north of Denver, and it's a community built on cattle, oil, and agriculture, but one that has a thriving blues scene.
