A Legacy of Connection Through Music - David Slutes

In this inspiring episode, we welcome David Slutes—a trailblazer whose vision has helped shape Tucson’s cultural heartbeat for over three decades. As the longtime Entertainment Director at Hotel Congress, David has been the creative force behind more than 1,200 annual events and iconic festivals like HoCo Fest, Sand Jam, and Dillinger Days—transforming Tucson into a true hub for vibrant, community-centered musical experiences.

But David doesn’t just produce shows—he lives the music himself. As a musician, he brings a rare authenticity and empathy to the artists and audiences he serves, creating spaces where people don’t just attend events—they belong to them. Now, with the opening of his new performance venue La Rosa and his role as president of SAAMHA (the Southern Arizona Artists and Musicians Healthcare Alliance), David is deepening his commitment to artists’ well-being by helping them access essential healthcare resources.

If you’re ready to see how passion, creativity, and service can turn moments into movements and crowds into communities, this episode is for you.
