AL Loves EL, an acoustic modern pop duo, will perform live from 5:30-7 pm Friday, Nov. 1, at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures. The Museum is open from 5-8 pm with free admission for First Friday Art Walk.
In the Museum’s Main Gallery, Street Vistas: Oaxaca’s Día de los Muertos captures the essence of the Day of the Dead tradition in the bustling streets of Oaxaca, Mexico. In the Hall Gallery, Inmate Art from Larimer County Jail features artwork from the new Larimer County Jail Art Project, a group of inmates who come together to draw and paint.
Allen Haeger (AL) and Elizabeth Hudetz (EL) met and fell in love through music in 2017. Their unique sound is characterized by acoustic warmth and tight harmonies. Both lifelong musicians, they are multi-instrumentalists, playing seven instruments between them.
“Together, we are transforming into our new selves to enjoy a life filled with love, hope, and joyful music,” said Hudetz. “As both musicians and environmentalists, we try to make the world a little better for having been here awhile.”

Hudetz earned her music degree from Colorado State University, and as a solo artist, she opened for national acts such as Hot Tuna, Leon Russell, Leo Kottke, and Firefall. Imagine a Perfect World, a musical she wrote, took first place in CSU’s Creative Arts Symposium.
Haeger, one of Fort Collins’ Art in Public Places artists, is a prolific songwriter who has played with numerous bands in Colorado and California. He and Michael Bank formed Parkin’ Lot 17 years ago, and they are still going strong. For the past 14 years, they have played at Boulder’s Big Hootenanny, one of the primary fundraisers for Conscious Alliance which supports Pine Ridge Reservation with food and back-to-school items.
