On top of the extra hour of sleep we just got, November is off to a busy start full of nightly happenings in over 20 Denver venues. One of the best parts about Denver’s concert scene is the sheer volume of concerts happening on a daily basis all year round. By attending these shows, you’re not only supporting local music, you’re allowing all of Denver’s venues to continue to turn on their lights.

Recommended: Smokey Brights w/ Bark Wilson, Cocordion @ Lost Lake

Recommended: 6lack w/ Sabrina Claudio, Sy Ari Da Kid @ The Ogden Theatre
Coming right out of the hip-hop hub of Atlanta, rapper 6lack is bringing his beats to The Odgen on Tuesday. 6lack is known for his slower paced songs that seem to pack the same punch as more upbeat hip-hop songs. R&B singer Sabrina Claudio, along with fellow hip-hop performer and Atlantan Sy Ari Da Kid, is on the bill as well. If you’re looking for some Tuesday night slow jams, this will be the show to see.
