In response to the threat of food insecurity in the San Luis Valley in the winter of 2025-2026, , a coalition of performance artists led by Jenni Mansfield Peal produced two evenings of concert performance. January 2, hosted by Trade & Post in Del Norte, Annie Benjamin of Albequerque joined Jenni for a songwriter in the round concert. The next evening, January 3, nine acts appeared at Together SLV Live Stream, Live Stage Extravaganza Fundraiser for La Puente, hosted by The Church Project in Monte Vista.
Brian Mott Videography did a great job of streaming the event, and you can watch it on our dedicated support channel, Together SLV on YouTube!

Jenni Mansfield Peal and her San Luis Valley musical friends produced five very fun Pub Howls with the help of our hosting sponsor, 1874 Distillery in Del Norte. They were a BLAST! Lots of great songs plus Special Guest Lead Singers and guest musicians made the evenings amazing. The Holiday Pub Howl in Dec 2024, then the St. Pat’s in March, Pride in June, and Farm and Labor in September, ending the season with another great Holiday Pub Howl in December 2025, included guests Alex Youngbird, Patrice Palmer, Wyatt Manobla, and many others.
Please follow our Facebook page, Rocky Mountain Pub Howl to stay informed of our upcoming Howls:

In August 2015, Tom Peal and I moved to Del Norte, CO, close to the top of our beloved Rio Grande. Now I’ve returned to an active schedule of performing with new original songs and lots of my favorite Americana covers. My productions in the San Luis Valley include Ancient Valley Open Mic, 2017/2018 in Del Norte, Sunday Folk Music Breakfast at La Garita Trading Post In 2017 and at Boogies in Del Norte in 2018, and A Jam In The Rockies, August 2018. I’ll continue traveling back to my favorite places in Texas, like the Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas, Pickin’ In the Pines in Pine Mills and The Terlingua Music Bash. Let’s share some music some time!
Jenni loves to share the gentle and beautiful music of the mountain dulcimer. Her first Mountain Dulcimer Brunch of the season was at La Posada Milagro Cafe’ Internet in Terlingua, Texas. She’ll do her best to bring these events to a cafe’ near you this year! You can help by suggesting possible venues in the weeks to come.
