Joe Rodgers
Owner
Joe comes to us from the Washington DC area where he had his own electronics service business for 15 years. Prior to that he was the service manager at one of the larger music stores in Maryland for 7 years. Joe has also toured with large bands as the sound engineer. He takes great pride in stocking products he believes in from both a user and service perspective. He can answer most of your technical questions and guide you in the purchase of amps, PA equipment and keyboards. Joe is our in-house electronics expert and repair technician. Don’t buy anything electronic until you hear the facts from Joe’s years of experience in servicing the music and entertainment industry.
Annie Rodgers
Co-Owner
Annie started singing early–to the animals on her family farm in Iowa. She went from the pasture to singing with the Chi-Centra Singers, and recorded her first album with them. She was chosen for the prestigious Meister Singer Vocal Festival in Des Moines, Iowa, and soloed in choirs at her church and high school in Bode, Iowa. She has sung at gospel concerts, churches and special events while traveling around Colorado, Iowa and Illinois, and has been a member of the Mountain Madrigals for 26 years here in Glenwood Springs. Annie brings a homey feel to the store, keeping the showroom neat and clean, lending her designers touch when signage and décor are needed, and brightening our customers’ day when she’s behind the counter.
Kevin E. Ware
Guitar Tech and Retail Manager
Kevin has been serving Glenwood Music as the Guitar Tech and retail manager since 2010. He is an Indigenous Western Slope Coloradan and brings the Western Slope Philosophy of “Work Hard and Do Good Things” to business. A guitar player by nature, when asked how long he’s played he will always tell you, “Longer than my ability shows.” He says this because he knows that musical skill and ability is a growing process and a life-long pursuit. When talking to you about instruments, he’ll get you the instrument that will best serve your needs, wants, and desires, and have a fun time doing it.
Ed Wilson
Band Instrument Rental Manager
Ed has been in the music business most of his life, doing everything from performing as a professional musician to tuning pianos and becoming a skilled band and musical instrument technician. He worked his way up to store manager at Max’s Music here in Glenwood Springs, then opened Roaring Fork Music when Max’s closed. Since merging with Glenwood Music, Ed handles all our band instrument rentals, and services the many area schools who are our customers.
Travis Lucero
Band Instrument Repairs & Sales
Travis began his career in brass and woodwind repair upon graduating from high school in 1998. Training under Ed Wilson at Roaring Fork Music, he became an experienced technician.
Now, as the main in-house technician, Travis is committed to keeping the brass and woodwind instruments of our community in full playing condition, and keeping our local music programs alive.
Kendall Spyker
Sales, Shipping and Receiving, On Line Sales and Art Manager
As Glenwood Music’s newest employee, Kendall’s specialty is friendly customer service.
Being a former business owner for many years, as well as a lifelong musician, he brings decades of Roaring Fork Valley experience to the staff mix. From playing in high school rock and roll bands to the present day stage, his continuous involvement in music has given him the knowledge to honor Glenwood Music’s motto of “Musicians Helping Musicians.” You will usually find Kendall on the sales floor, but he also manages our warehouse, Reverb.com on line presence, and any needed photos and artwork.
