About Dizzy Charlie’s

I'm Sara Vaas, the bouncer, the money collector, the promoter, the booker, the hustler and the one wearing yellow and black each week at the jazz shows.

I believe that at the heart of live music is COMMUNITY where Everybody is Welcome. (thanks Fannie Mae Duncan).

Dizzy Charlie's is named after my grandpa who was a big band arranger (David Charles) and came out to play at the Broadmoor in 1949! He was a conductor, wind musician and had perfect pitch!

My dream is to open a jazz club on the westside of COS and for it to be approachable, gritty and grungy and inclusive and a hangout spot for everyone to enjoy jazz from locals and traveling bands alike. A place to hang, feel seen and known and to hi-lite our amazing talent here in COS!

Come on out to a show. Tell me what you like. Connect me to other venues and possible partners! Share a hug, pay the cover, a story, a hi-five, hang a poster and just support entrepreneur life!
