Welcome to CROMA's website, where you'll find the Central Rockies' hub for all things old-time! We encourage you to browse our site to:

Old-time music is the pre-bluegrass, fiddle and banjo music that grew organically from rural traditions in places like Southern Appalachia and the Ozarks. This music traveled with settlers who came west, and subsequently took root in various mining camps and settlements throughout the Central Rockies.

The old-time scene in the Central Rockies is vibrant with old-timers and
new-timers (from all over!) playing, listening to and dancing to music throughout these beautiful mountains.

Old-time music was the old-time name for
real mountain-type folk music.
