We may be approaching Christmas, but thankfully there’s plenty of good music to drown out the seasonal tunes. Here’s the good stuff:
Rising star Boogie Lights is heading to Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom on 12/20 to celebrate the release of his latest album, DISCO DANCE THERAPY, and he’s got his ten-piece band The Boogie Bunch along for what is sure to be a wild ride. Getting everyone moving from the get-go will be Shae District, Mocha, Butl3r, Roca and Zumbo—get out and get some dance therapy on before the holidays!
Bass maven Megan Hamilton has returned to Denver and will be setting the dance floor on fire at Club Vinyl all night long on 12/21. Known for her wide-ranging tastes and abilities as both a producer and a vocalist, this is guaranteed to be an unforgettable night out at the club.,
Future jazz duo Sungazer has touched down and is preparing to take over the Bluebird Theatre on 12/20 to wow the masses with their jazz chops, large live band, and wild production. They’ve got Evan Marien and Dana Hawkins in on the party, too!
The rest of this week’s shows are below—the happiest of holidays to all, and per the usual stay in the know about Denver’s music scene with 303 Magazine!
