As we enter this week in Denver concerts, you can expect over ## concerts happening around the city at over 40 different venues. We’ve got the full list for you to check out below along with some recommendations if you’re feeling a little lost.
Monday, February 18
Recommended: Sharon Van Etten w/ Nilüfer Yanya @ The Gothic Theatre
To kick this week in concerts off, singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten is headed to the Mile High City to take over The Gothic Theatre in Englewood. Etten’s voice is soulful and powerful which matches her music’s style. Just last month, Etten celebrated the release of her most recent album Remind Me Tomorrow, which includes songs such as “I Told You Everything” and “No One’s Easy to Love” that you should check out if you’re not familiar with her work. Fellow artist Nilüfer Yanya is on the bill for the evening as well.

Colorado’s own rising artist YaSi is on the bill for the evening as well making this a good blend of talent. Tickets are on still available for this show, so act now to see these two artists in action.
