Dan Fogelberg's story in Colorado begins in the mid-1970s. The Peoria, Ill., native had some early success with his first two albums. Following a week-long stay in Colorado, he purchased a home in Nederland. There, he was inspired to write his breakthrough album, 1977's "Nether Lands."
Fogelberg is one of three members of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame class of 2017. Performers like Garth Brooks and Amy Grant will honor his musical legacy Sunday night with a concert at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village.
Colorado Music Hall of Fame director G. Brown tells Colorado Matters about Fogelberg's close connection to the state and how it shaped his music.
