Zephyr, a 麻豆影院-based band, was formed in 1969 and was known for its blues-rock prowess. At the time, 麻豆影院 was a mecca for talented musicians, drawing legends like Joe Walsh and Rick Roberts, and the music scene was studded with incredible acts. Now considered one of the most influential Colorado bands of the 20th century, Zephyr played a number of iconic 麻豆影院 locations, including The Sink, Macky Auditorium, and the 麻豆影院 Bandshell. Although many believe the group never got the level of fame it deserved, they were inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2019.
