Wildermiss will break down the process by which their song “Keep It Simple” came into being– from looped vocals and a shaky demo– to the final arrangement and full-fledged recording. The band will demonstrate how they write, compose, create and make critical decisions in order to realize a song’s full potential. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions.

About the band:

Wildermiss has a lot to tell you. The Denver quartet quickly become a staple in their hometowns burgeoning and competitive music scene. Their individual brand of shimmering indie rock has quickly propelled them from basements to selling out theaters to touring all over the country. Frontwoman Emma Cole’s towering vocals rest on top of drummer Caleb Thoemke’s concrete rhythms, surrounded by the innovative dual guitar work of Seth Beamer and Joshua Hester. Their sound is honest and their energy is undeniable. Are you listening?

No matter who you are, or what you do, your intuition and creative instincts are firing in response to your day to day life. Join us for a workshop about the importance of following daily inspiration and identifying the fears that hold you back from your destiny as a creative being.

The sisters of SHEL will guide an open conversation about being your own boss, knowing your ‘Why,’ establishing a space to create in, building an atmosphere of trust and innovation, navigating the industry, working through the challenges and joys of collaboration, and finding a unified purpose.

 

The sisters SHEL have been playing together for 15 years. We’ve released two full-length albums and we’re currently working on our third. We grow more every year as we become more unified and attract more camaraderie to our effort of creating an experience that inspires others to use their own gifts. We believe that every individual is given gifts for a reason, for the benefit of all, and that everyone should be encouraged to pursue and develop their own gifts.

Blues as a genre is about real life. One bluesman once said “Blues ain’t nothin’ but three chords and the truth.”

Blues Behind Bars has been running songwriting workshops with inmates at Larimer County Jail and Denver Women’s Correctional Facility for five years, where we’ve been writing “real” blues. This show gives a voice to these people and shares their story through the original songs they helped create. Performed by Colorado band Davey and the Blu Dog and guests, the music touches a range of blues styles from acoustic Delta Blues to electric Blues/Rock. Blues is a community thing: you get to sing, too!

Parents be advised, this event is recommended 13+.

The Band

DAVEY AND THE BLU DOG

The Band was founded by guitarist/singer/songwriter David Michael Boyd, who found his way to this musical genre by way of following family roots. Those roots go back to his grandfather who was a Dixieland jazz band radio performer in the 1920’s, two guitar-playing uncles and a mother who plays boogie woogie and barrelhouse piano. The band began to work together in February 2008, but in one connection or another, we have a history of playing together for up to twenty years. Individually the members of the band have credits that include Grammy nominated studio engineering, as well as running successful blues jams and performing internationally. Bottom line: guys who have some chops together and a few years of experience on stage.

Members of the band:

David Michael Boyd: guitar and vocals

Kirk Hutchinson: keyboards

Doug Murphy: drums and vocals

Jl Marsh: bass and vocals

Steve Stumbo: saxophones

Join us at the Music District every 2nd Tuesday of the month for the Songwriter’s Meetup!

Our mission is to provide a place and format for songwriters of all levels to share new, original works-in-progress to get constructive and supportive feedback from fellow songwriters so we can all improve our craft.

Please bring your instrument (keyboard available on-site), or a demo recording of your song (stereo system also available for playback), as well as multiple copies of your lyrics for others to follow along to aid in the critique. Bringing snacks to share is optional, but appreciated.

The Songwriting meeting is hosted by Justin Roth, a nationally touring singer/songwriter and fingerstyle acoustic guitarist who combines an artful blend of hooks laid on a bed of brilliantly inventive guitar technique, bridging contemporary and indie/alt folk.
