66 Rising

About Me

66 Rising is a local Denver modern rock band that possesses a unique sound, high energy showmanship, and a drive that makes things happen. From anthem rock to intimate ballads, their music is a blend of catchy riffs, melodic rhythms, and lyrics that reveal experience and, occasionally, tell a story. Every performance is dynamic from start to finish!
The diverse backgrounds within the band enable them to create edgy, bold, and meaningful songs from a wide range of experiences. With influences running from Nirvana and Radiohead to AC/DC and Led Zepplin, 66 Rising's style puts the melodic and the aggressive on the same page.
"Humor and Rage" Live at The Toad Tavern
