Today's featured /O artist is Anthony Ruptak. Anth

Today's featured /O artist is Anthony Ruptak. Anthony has the ability to deeply care about other people and outwardly focus that through his actions and songwriting. For almost 7 years, he operated the most noted open mic in town. As he put it, “the beautiful thing about the open mic format as an enigma is it’s such an integral part of any music scene in any city. To see someone play a song for the first time that they’ve never played in front of anybody; it feeds my soul to be a part of that because it’s a really unique moment.” It’s hard work running an open mic almost every week of the year, and we know that we aren’t the only ones who are grateful for what his efforts have added to the Colorado music scene. ⠀
.⠀
His songwriting is challenging and connects us all within the common fibers of our shared human condition. Whether it’s in his 2018 album “A Place That Never Changes” or his /O performance of “Don’t Let the Bastards Win,” Anthony takes us on a journey where he deeply thinks, profoundly cares, and then brings that to us as call-to-action. You can hear that call in his /O Sessions performance of “Don’t Let the Bastards Win” on NPR Live Sessions, available in the link in the bio. ⠀
