The Velvet Ropes – Troublesome Fire

“Troublesome Fire” by The Velvet Ropes is a poignant tribute to the resilience of Lyle and Marilyn Hileman, an elderly couple who chose to stay in their cherished home as the East Troublesome Creek Fire ravaged Grand Lake, Colorado, in October 2020. This heartfelt song captures their unwavering love and courage in the face of disaster, blending raw emotion with a blues and roots rock sound.
