Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will be among the Colorado musicians, chefs and celebrities appearing virtually in the Sofa King Fest, a free online platform built to entertain audiences while raising funds for local charities.

A star-studded roster is set to display their talents on “Colorado Day,” running from 2-8 p.m. today on the site, including music from The Lumineers’ Wesley Schultz and Leftover Salmon’s Andy Thorn, and Carlin Karr, sommelier at Frasca Food & Wine,  conducting a virtual wine tasting.

Like a number of the Colorado acts, Hickenlooper, a former brewpub owner, will be raising money in a virtual tip jar for the Restaurant Workers Relief Fund, which supports restaurant workers who have been put out of work because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
