Lunde Station has been a staple of the Northern Colorado music scene over the past 7 years and they’ll be Live@Lunch on November 15th! Don’t miss their live performance and interview.

Live@Lunch is sponsored by The Music District, a music-centric gathering place to cultivate talents, support professional development, and encourage connections.

Created by Murs and inspired by such historical hip hop open mics as New York’s Lyricist Lounge and Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe and Los Angeles’ Good Life Cafe and Project Blowed, Groundwaves aims to develop and amplify the already strong Colorado hip-hop scene and artists via a vital, authentic, and critical format.

Once a month, aspiring rappers and hip-hop artists from across Colorado and beyond will converge to test their skills and abilities in an open mic format, where Murs and an audience of peers are the judges. Murs, his team, and the Music District will use their expertise, resources, and industry connections to mentor and maximize the potential of the most promising participants – but it’s the hip-hop and music communities as a whole that will benefit most from the collective energy and inspiration.

Sign-ups at 6pm.
Open mic begins at 7pm.
