Our UMS Artist Highlights will spotlight some of the amazing acts playing this year’s Denver Post Underground Music Showcase from July 24-27. We’re kicking off with Real Estate.

Parquet Courts is a guitar band through and through. “Sunbathing Animal” maintains that devotion even as bands of their disposition become rarer and rarer.

Here’s another great session from the CPR Performance Studio archives: Slim Cessna’s Auto Club stopped in during the summer of 2012 for a performance and interview.

This week in music news: Karen O announces debut solo album, Filter magazine to stop publication, and more.

Earlier this week, the four talented sisters of SHEL visited the CPR Performance Studio for the third consecutive year.

Tyler Lee Holter made his debut in the CPR Performance Studio this week. Holter is an Arkansas transplant who now lives in Denver, so it should be no surprise that Holter’s music tastefully blends mountain folk and Southern country.

We’ve got a special recap video from UMS 2013 to give newcomers and returning attendees alike a taste of what’s to come this July.

This week in music news: R.I.P. Casey Kasem, Bjork gets her own exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, and more.

With Steele & Colfax, you’ll find rock, blues, soul, and more for an eclectic blend of feel-good locally grown music. We welcomed them into our studio earlier this month for a performance prior to their debut at the UMS this July.

OpenAir talked to Speedy Ortiz at Bonnaroo about previous ‘Roo experiences, what they’ve been playing in the tour van, and finding a new guitarist this year.

Jessica Lea Mayfield and her band paid us a visit before her Denver show to perform a few tracks off “Make My Head Sing…” in our CPR Performance Studio.

In September of 2014, Colorado-based music nonprofit SpokesBUZZ will send seven Colorado bands across the nation to play with partnering bands for its third annual “BandSwap” program.

Highlights from Sunday at Bonnaroo: Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, and more.
