Why Small Venues?

Denver's intimate venues are where music history happens first. Before Mission Ballroom, artists played Hi-Dive. Before Red Rocks, they played Lion's Lair. The small room experience — close enough to see the artist's face — is irreplaceable.

Denver's Capitol Hill and South Broadway corridors are dense with intimate spots. The Colfax corridor alone holds more small music venues per mile than almost any other street in Colorado.
