| What Bands Are From Denver |
From Rockin' the Rockies to Indie Anthems: A Band Buffet
The Headliners: You might recognize a few heavy hitters who hail from Denver. The Fray captivated hearts with their soaring melodies (and the occasional existential crisis anthem). Indie darlings The Lumineers took the world by storm with their banjo-fueled folk-rock. DeVotchKa brings the theatricality with their unique blend of Eastern European and American influences.
Beyond the Billboard: But Denver's music scene is much deeper than the mainstream. Dive into the world of The Yawpers, a three-piece powerhouse that blends punk energy with Americana twang. Get swept away by the dreamy soundscapes of Wildermiss. Or, if you're feeling a little demonic, Blood Incantation will provide your daily dose of death metal.
Local Legends: Every city has its hidden gems, and Denver is no exception. Keep an ear out for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, bringing soul to the Mile High. Foxfeather will take you on a psychedelic folk journey. And if you're looking for a good dose of laughs (and maybe a polka melody or two), The Denver Gentlemen won't disappoint.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to explore! Denver has a thriving live music scene, with shows happening practically every night of the week. Catch a rising star at a local bar, or snag tickets to a headliner at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre (just be prepared for the altitude... and maybe some rogue tumbleweeds).
