Country hitmaker Tyler Farr takes the stage tonight at Number 38 in Denver's RiNo district for a $15 concert benefiting Make-A-Wish Colorado, with doors opening at 5 p.m. and Farr set to headline at 8:30 p.m. General admission tickets are first come, first served, while a $60 VIP option includes exclusive access and an open bar from 5 to 7 p.m.
Every ticket sold supports Make-A-Wish Colorado, according to 98.5 KYGO, which reports the Missouri-born Farr is making Denver his only Colorado stop on his 2026 tour. Rayna Maire opens the show at 7 p.m., and Number 38 will offer food and drinks for purchase throughout the night. The concert is part of the Make-A-Wish Colorado Summer Concert Series, presented by United Airlines and sponsored by Montucky, Alpine Bank, Pepsi and KYGO, the station notes.
A Three-Show Summer Built Around One Cause
Tonight's performance is the middle stop in a three-event summer run at Number 38. The series kicked off on August 14 with headliner Spencer Crandall and opening wish kid Emmalese, before Farr's show, and it wraps up August 30 with Eli Young Band frontman Mike Eli performing an acoustic set alongside opener Caitlin Quisenberry, according to the same station report.
Farr's own résumé gives the bill some serious country-radio weight. He was the first artist signed to Jason Aldean's Night Train Records, and he's known for songs including “Redneck Crazy,” “Whiskey in My Water” and “A Guy Walks Into a Bar.” That last single took a historic 42-week climb to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in May 2015, one of the longest ascents to the top spot in the chart's 25-year history, per Taste of Country. Farr's first two albums, 2013's Redneck Crazy and 2015's Suffer in Peace, both debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top Country Albums charts.
Why The $15 Price Tag Matters
The low ticket price is doing real work for a nonprofit that depends on exactly this kind of grassroots fundraising. Make-A-Wish Colorado representatives have said the average cost to grant a single wish for a child facing a critical illness in the state runs around $7,500, a benchmark cited by the Post Independent in coverage of local fundraising efforts. Founded in 1983 as one of the national foundation's earliest state chapters, Make-A-Wish Colorado has granted more than 6,000 wishes to children across the state over the decades.
Number 38 has become a steady partner in that effort. The venue's relationship with the charity began with its inaugural 2025 “Summer of 7,000 Wishes” concert series, which featured Michael Ray and Cody Cozz, and continued into early 2026 with joint fundraising during the venue's annual Bison Days.
Inside The Former Neon-Sign Factory
Number 38, located at 3560 Chestnut Place in Denver, opened in October 2020 as a 20,000-square-foot social hall, restaurant, and indoor-outdoor live music venue built inside a converted neon-sign factory, according to Greeblehaus. The name honors Colorado's status as the 38th state admitted to the Union, and the space features 40 rotating taps highlighting craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries from around the state.
The venue's outdoor stage hasn't been without friction. Following residential noise complaints tied to outdoor performances at the Chestnut Place address, Number 38 went through Denver Excise and Licenses administrative hearings in 2022 and 2023, agreeing to strict noise management conditions to keep its cabaret license, per Denver Westword. Tonight's show proceeds forward under those existing operating conditions as the charity partnership continues into its second summer.
