About the Artists:

SHADOW WORK is an art-rock trio based out of Denver. Their dark, washy guitar textures, intricate bass riffs and dynamic jazz-inspired rhythms create an energetic framework for a tortured, soulful narrative. Their live shows emit a passion for musical experimentation: Intricate time signatures interweave with progressive compositions, flowing from haunting and delicate to fervent.

2023 Westword Article Excerpt:

Improv jams and experimental sets shaped what would become, upon their arrival in Denver in 2021, the art-rock band Shadow Work.

The band has hit its stride with the August 1 release of its sophomore EP, Imago — a sulky, psychedelic collection of five tracks. Following Shadow Work’s 2021 release, Robben Island, the new EP is chock-full of Nava's gravelly, impassioned vocals over Szlanic’s haunting, washed-out bass licks and Zickau's far-away cymbal crashes and tom rolls.

For Nava, Imago represents a metamorphosis of Shadow Work's sound, showing how the lead singer’s long-held folk influences organically seeped into the band’s identity rather than conforming to any specific genre.

Vanimal Kingdom:

Genre: Funk-Fusion-Rock
Vanimal Kingdom is a band based out of the Denver, CO metro that brings the party to life with animal costumes and funky grooves. The band is lead by front man, singer songwriter, composer, and bassist Van Powell.
