Monday, March 27
Recommendation: Nikki Lane with Robert Ellis and Jonathan Tyler @ The Bluebird
With her 2017 album release, Nikki Lane is back out on tour. Born in South Carolina, Lane moved to Nashville where she honed in her craft. The singer-songwriter puts a pop style twist on her country-rock genre that appeals to listeners of Lana Del Rey as well as artists like Tom Petty. Her ability to draw crowds from all over the genre spectrum truly speaks on the ubiquity of her music.

Recommendation: Big Sean @ The Fillmore
Big Sean first gained recognition for his talents when Kanye West signed him to his label GOOD Music.

The Detroit rapper is well known for his hype stage presence while throwing intensely energetic concerts – so if you’re planning on attending this show, come well prepared to get down.

Recommendation: Regina Spektor @ The Fillmore
Regina Spektor will be headlining in Denver for the first time since 2009 and we could not be anymore excited. The Moscow-born, Bronx-raised artist has captured hearts over the years with her eclectic anti-folk music and angelic vocals. Known for her songs “Us” and “Fidelity,” Spektor has become a staple in the singer-songwriter realm for obvious reasons. Through heartfelt, relatable lyrics, she’s able to connect with her audience in ways musicians of her caliber usually do. Catch this utterly magnificent artist this Wednesday at the Fillmore.

Forming in 1994, the band has been in the game for over two decades. The trio combines elements of blues, alternative rock and r&b into one unique sound of their own. Their music is similar to artists Jack Johnson and Donavon Frankenreiter – both of whom they’ve toured with. Catch these laid-back cats this Saturday at the Ogden.

Sunday, April 2
Recommendation: Big Wild with Phantoms @ The Gothic
With his first night at the Gothic sold-out, Big Wild is now scheduled to play a second night. The Massachusetts-bred DJ/producer gained traction when his music caught the attention of Odesza – who in 2015 asked him to tour with the twosome. His electronic-dance beats align with the big name duo as well as artists like Jai Wolf, Louis The Child and Vindata. Still on the rise, Big Wild continues to make waves in the industry showing no signs of slowing down.
