The Denver Music Scene
by Jamie Charmichael
The Colorado music has had exponential recognition within the past few years for all types of music. Theaters, venues and record stores encourage all sounds and offer open booking and advertising plans throughout the state, yet most of the growth is in the diverse city of Denver.
Local Denver papers and radio stations always give local music a chance. Although Denver has yet to grow to the size of New York or LA, it has made strides to be where it is today. The music scene here is eclectic and welcoming to anyone who may seek out something new.
Bad Weather California
Bad Weather California is an energetic, upbeat band straight out of Denver. The band plays classic feel good music, reminiscent of 1970’s rock and roll. The band’s last release was Young Punks on April 28, 2009, although the band is currently on tour and recording for a new album.

Paper Bird
Paper Bird is based out of Denver and has a lot to offer. Retreating to an old country/ folk/ soulful sound, their triumph is displayed in their latest release, When the River Took Flight on July 27, 2010. Paper Bird is currently touring to promote the music composed for the ballet, “Carry on”.

Mike Marchant
With the release of the single, “You Were a Runner” on December 12, 2010, Mike Marchant has been greatly applauded, being reviewed in the Westword and The Onion. His music is mostly low tempo indie folk and is aesthetically pleasing to any listener. Marchant is currently on tour.
