The week of Thanksgiving can be stressful with family, cooking and cleaning but thankfully we have great shows every other day of the week. Big bonus for you, most of our recommendations are local bands. If you are here year round, or back home for the holiday, grab your crew and hit any venue this week for an amazing show.
Monday, November 21
Recommended: Farewell My Love @ The Moon Room
Feeling a little angst around the holidays? Luckily Monday offers just one show – the fabulously scene emo rockers, Farewell My Love at Summit Music Hall.
Tuesday, November 22
Recommended: FIDLAR @ The Gothic
West coast punk outfit FIDLAR will be partying hard at the Gothic Theater on Tuesday. Their unique take on the garage punk genre is worth checking out as the band is gaining notoriety and momentum in their career. Check out Nick Offerman in their NSFW music video below.

Wednesday, November 23
Recommended: The Yawpers @ The Bluebird

Recommended: Paper Bird @ The Bluebird
Paper Bird is a six-piece indie folk band based here in Denver. You can snag a two day pass to jam out all weekend or just check them out on Friday or Saturday individually.
