More than a dozen answered, and those acts came by the CPR Performance Studio to cover songs by Tom Petty, Grant Hart, Chris Cornell, Chuck Berry and more.
Tune in Friday at 5 p.m. for Dearly Departed: Colorado Remembers 2017, an hour-long special featuring these exclusive performances. The special also airs Monday at 1 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Here’s a list of the artists who participated and the musical legends they celebrated:
Celebrating Chuck Berry
Jen Korte performs "Maybellene"
Celebrating Larry Coryell
Joshua Trinidad performs the original composition "For Larry"
Celebrating Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band
