The Underground Music Showcase

About Me

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!
The 9th annual Denver Post Underground Music Showcase is expanding -- to four nights, July 23-26, 2009, with 200+ local and national bands, DJs, comedians, singer-songwriters and more.
Stay tuned here for ticketing information, or visit ums.com.
There is no better manifestation of the Colorado music scene and the artistic talent that makes everything happen. The UMS is presented by The Denver Post as well as many other local sponsors.
