Because your life needs a soundtrack, and because your life is richer and more rewarding when that soundtrack reflects where you live, the UMS is here.

This year’s 7th annual Denver Post Underground Music Showcase will spotlight more than 75 bands, a dozen DJs and a collective of comedians and emcees who will help put all of the mind-blowing entertainment in perspective.

There is no better manifestation of Colorado music and artistic talent. And while the UMS is presented by The Denver Post, it’s run mostly by volunteers with the generous help of a few sponsors.
